Santa Barbara Graduate Institute

@natejones — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 04:37:16 +0000

The Santa Barbara Graduate Institute had a severely outdated site built on static HTML pages. After it joined up with The Chicago School, I designed their new site and built it on WordPress.

Ashland Montessori School

@natejones — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 01:13:12 +0000

The Ashland Montessori School needed a completely new presence and strategy for the web. I created a new logo, redesigned & reorganized the web site and rewrote all the copy. Facebook, Flickr & Twitter accounts were created, and a message board & emergency text message system were implemented.

I trained the teachers on both the technical and strategic aspects of creating new content for the site & their social media accounts.

AAM Hartford 2010

The Association of Anglican Musicians was bringing their 2010 conference to Hartford, Connecticut. The conference committee wanted to step up and use the web for more than posting PDFs. This site allows for online registration, superfast updates and it’s just plain prettier + cheekier. It’s also dovetailed with an active presence on Twitter and Facebook.

Garfield Park Preparatory Academy

The Chicago School teamed up with Chicago Public Schools on an ambitious and high-profile project to improve educational opportunities for children on the city’s west side and offer TCS students unique practicum and internship experiences.

Garfield Park Preparatory Academy, a contract school opened in September 2009, under CPS’ Renaissance 2010 initiative. The school will improve elementary education in unique and powerful ways and also leverage the talents of Chicago School faculty and graduate students.

Insight Magazine

Insight Magazine is for Alumni and Friends of The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I took this award-winning publication online in a WordPress theme that allowed for social media sharing, expanded content, article discussions, and multimedia.

The Chicago School Counseling Centers

@natejones — Mon, 25 May 2009 04:21:13 +0000

When The Chicago School acquired The California Graduate Institute, CGI’s Counseling Centers needed some web help. By redesigning the site reorganizing and freshening up the content, the Counseling Centers looked like they’re part of the family.

Josh was finishing up his Ph.D. at Iowa and putting himself on the job market. He needed somewhere to show his credentials and personality.

SIOP Institute

Pearson’s SIOP institute was in dire need of a facelift. after aggregating similar content areas to condence navigation, I designed a friendlier and more engaging site.

California Reading

@natejones — Mon, 25 May 2009 04:06:33 +0000

pearson had not been a contender in the lucrative california reading textbook market for over 20 years. when creation of a new set of california-centric reading curriculum was announced, a web site was a must.

following a day-long conference call with executives and other multi-taskers, a senior project manager emerged with giant sheets of paper covered with countless PostIts about each person’s priorities. a giant stack of number one priorities. that wasn’t terribly helpful.

my amazing project manager and i sorted through the mess and, after individual meetings with knowledgeable stakeholders, created logical wireframes. from there, i went on to design thoughtful navigation, a readable layout and just enough bling to wow the senior vice president of marketing.

Biology.com

Ken Miller & Joe Levine are biology textbook giants superheroes. When their new book launched, a new site was created to build the excitement. I used Coldfusion to create content management templates for easy upkeep.
