The Blair String Quartet’s new site is music to our ears
Mar. 5, 2012—We launched the updated Blair String Quartet site on March 1, 2012. The previous string quartet site was maintained in Sitemason and had not been redesigned since 2002. The site needed to have an elegant look, a place for individual bios, downloadable hi-res photos and recordings of their performances – and be easy to maintain...
New site for French and Italian: C’est magnifique!
Nov. 3, 2011—When the Department of French and Italian contacted us to move their site from Sitemason to WordPress, we of course said oui! Their timeline was a little more pressing than our schedule allowed, so we set up the WordPress install for them and their webmaster, Veronique, took it from there – she even designed the...
Psychological Sciences moves to Omni
Mar. 17, 2011—The Psychological Sciences website comprises information about both the Department of Psychology in the College of Arts and Science and the Department of Psychology and Human Development at Peabody College. When we took on this migration into Omni, the previous site had been built on and expanded over the years until it was nearly bursting...
Division of Animal Care migrates from Drupal to Omni

They were hosted with an external vendor and had been working with a third party design and development firm. They had numerous issues both with using Drupal and with authenticating through VUnetID. We moved them in-house onto Vanderbilt’s...
LAPOP goes live
Aug. 20, 2010—We worked with the Latin American Public Opinion Project on migrating their site into Omni. This is a half-Omni, half-Sitemason site. Most of the pages are in Omni — but the datasets and logins remain in Sitemason (with the new look applied). This is the fourth site we’ve worked on with the Department of Political...
myVU gets brand bar, php templates and more!
Jul. 22, 2010—This was another fairly quick template swap. The old myVU templates were xsl, we moved them over to php, updated some stylesheets, added the VU brandbar, added a new video player that displays videos from the VUCast playlist and launched. We’ll be cleaning up the site over the coming weeks – but our goal was...
University Calendar redesigned
May. 18, 2010—The University Calendar is all up-to-date (get it?) with a look that matches the just-launched homepage. We changed the homepage to show all of today’s events (previously, it just showed highlighted events, with an option to view all – confusing). We didn’t change the functionality or the back end of the Calendar – the data...
