v3t.org redesign is added to the project list.
Every once and a while I’ll come across a website that is beyond repair; a website that makes any designer cringe with the idea of touching it. Well although v3t.org isn’t as bad as some, I still shake my head when I look through the code. Its littered with slices, iframes, and poor planning. But on the flip side, thats exactly why V3T has asked Studio Rhoad to fix it. Their original plan upon contacting us was just to add a job board and some other small features which normally isn’t is a big deal if a website is done correctly; or close to it. This one doesn’t fall into that category. Rather than wasting the clients time and money adding features that will only complicate it even further, it was determined that a full redesign would be the best route financially and time-wise.
The brainstorming process has officially begun on this project. And to start off, we’ll be presenting 3 different layouts to the client. Due to their budget, these layouts will be very simple yet easy to anyone to update. 2 of the layouts will be mostly HTML/CSS in association with a WordPress setup that will supply them with an easy and convenient way to update their recent news. Finally, the 3rd option will be made up entirely of a WordPress setup. This particular client will not be relying on us to keep the site updated or revised, so by using WordPress, they’ll be able to handle the dirty work themselves with little complications.
Im very excited about bringing V3T on board. The people there are great to worth with. However, if the work keeps coming in like this, we’ll have to start hiring more contractors. Lets hope that happens.
