Oxford University Site

Post by applejack »

This is a site for the Department of Materials of Oxford University. It is a re-skin of an existing CMSms site. The issue was how to deal with an existing site which is very text heavy and many sub pages and make it more visually appealing and have improved usability.

Use superfish hierarchical drop down menu and a jQuery carousel.

Indeed very nice, I really like the clean layout.

Do you use a grid based framework for your development ?

Very user friendly site. I am updating our local school district website (I am a school board member and trying to save our district money) and really like the way you created the "Contact People" page. I would love to create something very similar to display our teaching staff.

Could you tell me what CSM module(s) you used if any? Did you just use jQuery and manually add all staff? I can't tell by viewing your code how you did this. It's a brilliant way to offer a great deal of info without appearing cluttered. Very nice job.

I've used Company Directory and other modules. The accordian funtionality works great! I would like to learn how you did this.

Thanks!
