Wonderware Central website redesign launched

After several months of work, I’m pleased to say that Wonderware Central launched its redesigned website today.

Many people were involved in this project, but I did most of the development and design.

This was my first time using the open source Joomla content management system. As such, it was also my first time developing a Joomla template. It didn’t take me too long to figure out and understand how Joomla and its templates work.

I based my design on the Yahoo YUI CSS framework. Joomla uses Mootools as the JavaScript framework, so I stuck with that. I also made use of several third-party extensions that have been developed for the Joomla CMS, which speed up my development and should make it easier to maintain the website in the long run.

This was a fun project to work on. So far, I’m receiving some good feedback from my coworkers, which is nice.

  1. Nice work. Much improved. As someone who does (or used to do) web development, I’d like to talk with you sometime about Joomla. I’ve put together numerous sites using DotNetNuke, but am always looking for a better CMS solution. Let’s chit-chat next time I stop by your office…
