Challenge: The task for this project was to re-design the projects page of the website.
Team: 4 (we all designed and coded on the projects page)
Software Used: Ruby, HTML, CSS
The Goal?
I chose to implement disqus into the website and help design the overall page, but I wanted to add in the disqus feature because I wanted to try coding a bit. The projects page had all of the major project ideas that the Lansing and EL community came up with to help re-design the community. Disqus is a worldwide blog comment hosting service for web sites and online communities that use a networked platform.
Getting Started
At first, me and my team were all confused on what to to do and use to make the community feel engaged when they go to the site. We had to not only think about the technical aspect, but also the visual appeal as well. Luckily, my team mates were all pretty skillful, so we chose our ideas and put them all together.
Implementation
One of team mates designed the idea behind the grid photos in Photoshop with me and the other actually implemented the design into the web server with Ruby. Finally, after they finished I added the disqus feature at the end to the server for the community to get a conversation started.
