Expanding My Horizons

A couple of months ago I was contracted to build a website for my father's Mac user group (mentioned in a previous entry).  Actually, the job was sort of thrust on me unexpectedly.  I attended one meeting and my father not so subtly let slip that I was, among many other things, a graphic designer.  They said, "Great, you can be the one to finally build us our website!"

Having never actually built a professional website (everything I've done previously was for education purposes), this was a little daunting.

Still, two months later after trying a couple different programs, re-educating myself, and constantly consulting with my very web-talented room mate, the end product is this.

The site itself is not done.  There's still a lot of content that hasn't been generated or been given to me yet.  And I'm still working on a couple of options for making the news blog and Q&A experience better for the group membership.  But, overall, I'm rather pleased with the end product.  The rest of the group seems to be pleased as well.

With this complete, I feel much more confident about any future web projects I may take on.
