Congrats, it's a website!

Launched another one of my babies into the world last night: ClearCreekWater.org is the website of the Clear Creek Watershed Foundation, an organization devoted to "sustainable watershed management". In english, that means they want to keep threatened waters safe to fish in, cycle by, play in, raft through, and drink--even when it's used my countless thousands of people each day. They have a very holistic approach to watershed management, and their site shows how important that is.
The site is four months in the making, on my end, and involved many hundreds of hours on the client's part, organizing reams of content into useful areas for their prospective users. While the current version of the site is fairly content-heavy, there's a lot of relevant information for their audience. In phase II of their web development plan, they will be adding more educational resources for teachers and students, and creating useful sections for the layperson with a casual interest in what a watershed is. Phase III is anticipated to bring forums and interactivity to the site. Stay tuned to their site throughout the year to see how it evolves!
For my part, this site was a great opportunity to use the Jello Piefecta self-adjusting CSS template from the folks over at PositionIsEverything.net. It's a nice, very compliant and accessible design model, and let us place a number of content areas on the page with minimal confusion and stress. I also experimented with some pop-out menus, using CSS, but they don't work in Internet Explorer without a little JavaScript help. I think it works well. Let me know what you think of it, if you have some time.Labels: ccwf, clients, web design
