Princeton University Fauver CMS Theme

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:05:34 +0000

I created this theme along with 2 others for use with Princeton University’s Roxen CMS. I’m pretty stoked that they named it after me!

This theme is really versatile, as all themes should be. You can have a top navigation and a left navigation or just a top navigation and no left navigation or a left navigation and no top navigation. The University really attempts to steer their users towards having just a left nav, since the top nav only allows for so much room and the left nav can go on forever and ever and ever…

Positioning and floats are used heavily in this design to create a new layout without the rearrangement of the div tags. This theme was challenging and rewarding to execute. I really love it and I hope that you do too.

Newgrange Website

Newgrange provides specialized educational programs for people with learning disabilities in New Jersey. There is a really awesome blend at the school of music, sharing with the students on different levels and a general warmth to the school.

I used transparent PNGs, opacity and RGBA in this layout to allow for the background to colorize the page. I envisioned the background changing according to the season, events at the school, relevant trends, etc. I thought that this would be a great way to connect with the users of your site and a really simple way to update your site to make it look fresh. The client agreed.

Princeton University Inventive CMS Theme

The 2nd in a series of 3 theme designs for use with Princeton University’s Roxen CMS.

I really dig the way that this one flows. Simple is usually best and this theme proves that’s a fact. I went with a lot of warm colors and set up the theme so you can update a couple of images and just swap out #’s in the CSS to have a totally new theme.

Dr. Bienstock Website

Dr. Bienstock is an accomplished Manhattan Plastic Surgeon with specialized procedures. He needed a slick website that showcased his work along with SEO for his reconstructive surgery.

Before and after examples of procedures are showcased with a Flash player and morphing software. The flyouts for the left navigation are built using javascript and are super easy to update.

Princeton Tour Company Website

Front End Web Design and ColdFusion CMS. I envisioned the header changing from season to season as a way to look relevant and updated. Unfortunately the live site is no longer under my jurisdiction and after visiting the site while writing this post, there is some funky stuff going on.
