Verney Road School

Design Web design Web development HTML + CSS JavaScript SEO

Verney Road School is a school in Shepparton that provides educational programs to meet the needs of students with mild to profound intellectual and/or multiple disabilities, aged between 2.5 years and 18 years.

The school had no existing online presence so I was quite excited to develop the website from scratch. Some of the requirements of the site were that it had a content management system, a maintainable photo gallery, as well as ‘Newsletters’ and ‘Documents / Forms’ section with content that was easy to download for users. The sites uses the a wonderful CMS called Symphony, and uses a simple upload manager for the ‘Newsletter and Forms’ area, as well as a very flexible ‘Photo Gallery’ image manager function.

The site was also designed by myself, has a standard Contact form and Google Map, is cross browser compatible, uses Valid HTML and CSS, and has a few other standard bells and whistles, check it out!

The website has been featured in the following CSS and Design galleries.

• CSS Deluxe
• We Love CSS
• CSS Cutie
• Kreative Showcase

Other Design Inspiration

So, during my recent eurotrip I started thinking about ways of jotting down everywhere I had been on my adventures, tracking my travels and including the means of transport, cost, distance traveled and more! I’m not normally a graphs and charts nerd, but I was also keen to graph the temperature from Melbourne, compared to all the exotic destinations I traveled too. I’ve done a print piece for my wall, check it out.
