The Patrick M. Butler Charitable Fund is an organization named for Pat Butler, Managing Partner of Nutter, McClennen and Fish’s Hyannis branch, who died on New Years day 2009.
The site is designed to be simple and easy to navigate. Since it will be run by a committee, it also had to be easy to update. As such, I chose to go with the Concrete 5content management system. C5 features in line editing making the editing process incredibly simply, just point, click and edit.
The site also features the latest search engine optimization techniques and pure CSS drop down menu.
I absolutely love Stumble Upon. I mean it’s such a simple yet wonderful concept. Press a button and you are wisked away to some new and exciting website. It’s the magical wand of the web world. I wish I had such a button when I was a kid, press a button and get wisked away into some magical fantasyland full of fun and adventure… ok, I’ll be honest, I wish I had one now. Who doesn’t love adventuring into the unknown?
But that is me as an internet user. As a web designer and site owner, I have some reservations about Stumble.
Digg is great. It lets people find the really great content that they want. It’s broken into categories and you get a little preview of it before you click through. With Stumble, not so much. You are in fact, stumbling around the web.
Recently, I start a blog focusing on politics called Political College Student. Since I love Wordpress so much, I of course decided to use the latest copy of Wordpress, 2.7, on this blog. How can I not? With a cool new design, automatic upgrade and installation of plugins and the best tagging system I have seen, Wordpress 2.7 is a huge improvement over Wordpress 2.6.
Yesterday, the official White House website, www.whitehouse.gov, went live with it’s brand new design. The design is similar to Obama’s campaign site (www.barackobama.com) and his transition site (www.change.gov). And I must admit, I absolutely love his branding and site design team.
