This website was
used to promote Diversity Best Practices’ and its parent company,
Working Mother Media’s Network and Affinity Leadership Congress
(NALC), held in both the fall and the summer. NALC “brings together
network and affinity group leaders from America’s top (Fortune
500) companies for leadership training, networking and to share best
practices.”
For the fall NALC conference
I created an extensive Speakers’ biography section with photos, text and links, as well
as a post-conference JavaScript photo gallery with pop-up windows and
captions. The other sections of the site included an Agenda page with
course session descriptions; post-conference PowerPoint presentations;
a confererence Registration section which had several pages with printable
PDFs; an Awards section; a Sponsors’ page, and a Resources page
for related publications.
In February, the
NALC logo was redesigned, and I was asked to redesign and update the
website colors and information, as well as its header, to complement the new logo. I created a new header
to go with the new logo, and revamped all of the site pages with
new navigation colors and links. I also updated the slideshow of images
found on both the homepage, and added a new rotating image slideshow
within the left sidebar of the main website page. New sections included the Agenda section with pop-up windows detailing
the course sessions, and updated content throughout the site, with
all of the information for their upcoming 2008 NALC summer conference.
In addition to
managing the website, I created three e-flyers to announce the upcoming
NALC 2008 conference, which had header images that incorporated the
look of the website’s main navigation tabs as a clickable image
map, along with a photo border of highlights from their fall 2007 conference.
Each e-flyer header had a different caption such as,“Save the Date,”
“Join Us,” and “Register Now,” depending upon its purpose.
The e-flyers were coded in Dreamweaver first, then sent out via Constant
Contact to members. This site also ran on
ColdFusion and used a CSS tab-style navigation.
