New Design for Council's Website

Remember...
"Quarrel with a friend...
and you are both wrong."

Here it is Friday already and I don't know where the week's gone! It was a really short week at work, only 3 days because of the Labour Day holiday on Monday, and today it's the Council picnic, though they don't actually have a picnic. Still, I won't say no to a day off work. I had planned to go into work today to work on the new layout for the Council website, but I ended up sitting up until 2am this morning and I have the layout nearly right. There's a couple of minor adjustments, but I'm nearly ready to transfer all the content from the old site.

This is what our new Council website will look like. Council uses a program called NetObjects Fusion, which I've had to learn how to use, to develop and maintain the site and the new version 9 has lots more control for forms and CSS which the previous version didn't have. I hated the old version but am getting pretty good with the new one. I've had to. I had two weeks to get the layout right, and have a week up my sleeve so I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself. Getting all the content moved over will be no easy task either. Most of it will be cut and paste, with adjustments to the formatting. There's about 60 pages, but the layout area is much smaller in the new site and so I may have to make lots of smaller pages. Time will tell.
