West European Studies website at IU


West European Studies Website

Now a user-friendly site that invites return visits, the West European Studies program expanded their web presence with a detailed events calendar, video, audio podcasts and an independent RSS feed. All of these features were configured to be updated by non-web-trained department personnel. We created a detailed manual for changing and expanding the site with examples of how to make changes using frequently-changed pages of the site and screenshots of the updating software used at WEST. Completed in 2010.

Geological Sciences Website at IU


Geological Sciences Department Website

Before we made the site we conducted focus groups with current undergraduate and graduate students to get ideas about what students were seeking in a departmental site, and in choosing where to go to school. The site is designed to be easy for faculty and departmental staff to independently update their sections. There's also focused and persuasive information that we created for prospective students. Completed in 2008.

Homepage of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction

We rebuilt and redesigned the Kinsey home page to provide clear and easy access to the content, making it easy to update in the process. We worked with the communications director and web committee to be sure that the homepage created the right expression of what the Kinsey Institute is all about. Completed in 2008.

Hoffman DesignWorks Postcard Mailing

ExLibris Trade Magazine Ad

Our first step is to learn a lot about a field. In this case the field is library software for cataloging vast quantities of electronic-rights-managed journals, music, pictures and software.

It's always hard to stand out in a trade magazine, and even harder to write relevant copy that speaks to people in that trade, but it's the only way to get your ads to actually work.
