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
