George Washington Wired

My Role

Visit Site

Mount Vernon wanted to create a blog to provide resources for their Teachers & Students. They are one of our clients that kind of seem more willing to take chances on their designs. The design was done by ex Front-End Developer turned Designer, Nate Eagle.

The design was definitely a challenge to slice, but through a creative use of PNGs, I made it happen. Since I was using PNGs, I of course used the Dean Edwards IE7 Scripts to account for Internet Explorer 6.

Mount Vernon was offering framed George Washington portraits to schools to display, and I helped to develop a section of the website that enabled Mount Vernon to show which schools had requested and received the portrait. We created individual Google Maps for each state since there were thousands of schools that participated!

My role in this project was to slice the site, create the WordPress theme, help to implement the Google Maps, and train the client on WordPress.
