Apologies for going so long without posting. The rebuilding team has been burning the candle at both ends lately and there are is so much important and exciting work to be done it is difficult to find time to blog.

Getting up-to-date

Right after the last post – end of June – we were joined by a consultant from Cignex for two weeks to guide us in the set up of our Plone content management system and train us in the programming required to make customizations to it. We had spent several hours on the phone going over our needs prior to her arrival and having her on-site for two weeks was great.

For the last month, we have been coordinating with I.T. (with great help from Mark Dunkerley), setting up test servers and programming our custom features. Meanwhile, editorial has been working on re-writing our content to be web friendly and the visual design team finished mockups.

Mockups

Our Web Manager, Gibran Soto, had the opportunity to present an update of the rebuilding plan and the mockups to President Ross and the deans. Now we are ready to share a glimpse of the future lynn.edu with you. These mockups are rough and not final. We will continue to make tweaks to the design as we build the new site.
