This was actually a project I completed about a year prior, but we decided to revisit it to update the site and add responsive design features - try the site on a smartphone, it’s excellent!

The layout was designed in house and I did 100% of the development work. The old layout dated back to 2002, so it was obvious this site needed a refresh! It’s amazing how much different the web looks, now.

The KGCOE website was the first of a new family of websites - or a group of websites with a similar look and feel. The layout was adapted for several more Engineering websites at RIT, including Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. These sites also share some content - Staff and facility listings, for example - and that was interesting to put together.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with how the site came out, and working with the school’s Engineering department was great!

Additionally, this website won a Silver Award, given by The w3 Awards in its Best of the Web competition.

The new College of Engineering website was honored for its homepage design, the structure and navigation of the site as well as its visual appeal. Undergoing a complete redesign in the past academic year, the site incorporates multiple carousel images and stories of student and faculty work, separate informational sections for prospective students and corporate partners, testimonials as well as in-depth information about majors and programs offered in the college. Contributors for the site include: Bhalla; Bastian; David Pedu, Web programmer; and Karen Ester, communications specialist in the Kate Gleason College of Engineering.

Two of our Web projects were recognized by W3 last year, so it is great to get continued recognition from them this year as well. It’s a testament to the immense talent that we have internally at RIT,” said Raman Bhalla, assistant director, Web/IT services.

This website has since been decommissioned and replaced with an updated design, but my work may still be viewed via archive.org.
