This is beautiful. Exquisite, to my eyes. The polar opposite
of my hideous library website.
Okay, hideous is an overstatement and my apologies to Charlotte Gonzales. It's not her fault--the site already existed before she came on board. But seriously. Beauty, personified. How do I make my site simple and functional like this?
There's plenty of information, even though it looks sparse. Each white bar pulls down (click the link above to see the actual template).
Sure wish I knew more web design...doh!
One thing Schmidt talks about in the article introducing this template is what to do about the information below the fold (ie what you would have to scroll down to see). Here are his rules on that:
1. Get ride of it.
2. Go to rule 1.
Here's the website for the Walter Read Middle School library. I think they're doing something pretty similar to the image below.
Next step: How to fix my library's VLC...stat!
