ROLE
The original Breast Cancer Lighthouse web site was the first commercial web site that the Communication Technology Lab created back in 1995. While still accumulating lots of traffic, its design and multimedia content had grown out-of-date. During the Summer and Fall of 1999, the Communication Technology Lab upgraded the web site to modern web site standards (at the time), including improved navigation, graphic design, and adding dynamic media elements, including digital audio and video. The upgrade also included minor content revisions. I collaborated with Darcy Greene on the look-and-feel of the revised site and then managed three student interns on the revision of the site. During the revision, I created a program that auto generate the complete site given the database of content and the site design template.
VIEW THE WORK
The Breast Cancer Lighthouse CD-ROM is available for commercial sale and the Web site is available on the Internet.
