Site Map

Content/Code

All content and code for DSG WordPress pages can be found in the dsg-test repository on GitHub.

Desired Website Improvements

  • Fix broken Events listings (which don't show the content of the event entry); Dave DeCamp may be working on this
  • Fix link to Podio contact form
  • Remove gray bar below navigation bar
  • Header image needs to link to DSG home instead of [current page URL]/index.php
  • Generally more clean theme (similar to DSC, Academic Tech Services, Center for Advancing Teaching and Learning Through Research websites)
  • More images (people working on projects, project intake meetings, computer lab, project presentations, events)
  • Make typography better?
  • The Resources page needs to be reviewed (new resources need to be added? page needs to be reordered? Learn section?)


These may already have been done:

  • Better bullet points (properly centered on line, circles or boxes instead of arrows)
  • Better sidebar (make light gray/white instead of red/dark gray, make header optional)
  • Different colored links (red instead of blue)
  • Consider changing font, line spacing (more like DSC website, or use same font as postcards)
  • More customization allowed for tables or better default tables
  • Remove the DIGITAL SCHOLARSHIP GROUP header (is now redundant with the appropriate header image)

Done:

  • Nice cycling news feed on front page with large images (something like NULab site)
  • Add images to front page in some appropriate way
  • DRS Project Toolkit CFP
