Working with the people at cdeVision has been a sheer pleasure. They are smart, energetic, creative, and professional – and a lot of fun to work with.
My project posed some unique and challenging problems. Bronwen and her colleagues helped me think through these problems and solve them in a creative way. They provided invaluable suggestions, technical expertise and artistic advice. I am extremely pleased by the look of the website and have received many compliments about it.

New website

Interface design, custom CMS
Project Overview:
Political Science Professor Douglas Amy had the idea of writing a book online, rather than going the traditional publishing route: "I have been thinking that I might be able to get a much larger audience for this book if I put it on the web." But he wasn't sure if it could be done and include the features he wanted.
We were up to the challenge!
This site has a minimal design style to focus attention on content, and some interesting and subtle technical features. Pagination for long articles. Endnotes. Custom CSS print styles. Email "Tell-a-Friend" for each article. Google-style search.
A custom CMS allows Professor Amy to easily update and add articles, to decide pagination for each article, and to spotlight feature articles on the home page.
