Session Type: Professional Development

We will tell the story of what it's like to build, test, and launch an academic website in the real world, where the process is fraught with design-by-committee, university branding tsars, unrealistic timelines, invisible budgets, technophobia, and technolust. We'll discuss the site-building process from both the systems and web-development viewpoints.
