As the VP of Technology for the Wharton Politics and Business Association, one of my main duties was maintaining the website. However, the website at the time was a couple years old, and relied on Dreamweaver templates and local editing to maintain. In addition, there was no uniform look and feel to all of the pages. To remedy this, I worked with WordPress to create a site that makes maintenance a snap. Additionally, this contributes to club sustainability, as the next VP of Technology will have no problems updating the site. Improvements include:
- Online WYSIWYG editor
- Event calendar with sidebar listing upcoming events
- Site-wide search
- Twitter updates in the sidebar
- Prominent display of newsletter signup
- Audience-focused navigational layout
- Image Gallery
- Streaming video
- Facebook Connect integration for commenting and sharing
- Multiple simultaneous blogs for the Publications Committee
- Dynamic feedback forms
