Website Redesign & Project Consultation


When this project began in January of 2002, the MCC website was without a foundation — so not only the style and content needed to be addressed, but the structure, flow and content management as well — providing a solid base to build an enduring site to support future growth.

From our extensive initial plan, each of the following areas were addressed:

• The Content
• The Architecture
• The Design

This redesign proved to be an organizational dream (or nightmare!) with extensive content and providers ranging from busy academics to non-computer literate coaches...another layer of planning was needed:

Content Management


Content Development: A system for the review or development of the many pages — by provider — became the groundwork for the Content Tracking Database.

Web Development Team: I helped recruit and establish 3 groups of people to oversee the abundance of content: Managers, Production Team & Technical Team

Content Tracking Database: My original spreadsheet tracking system, visual schematics and a functional plan evolved into a database of tracked content, automating emails to providers about updates. This has proven to be an incredible asset for the site.

The Content Database supports
information 1000+ pages

• Planning & Scheduling
• Driving the assessment of needs
• Guiding the visual and functional design
