CSY Designs' Portfolio

MyWeb20 is a subdomain based web community built to provide a place where our family and friends could exchange photos without the advertisements, and other hassles involved with using existing commercial sites. We designed the main site to clearly convey the concept, provide support, and information, while ensuring that everything was easily accessible to the large proportion of family members having little, or no net experience.

The site uses several php applications, forms, and scripts to accomplish the many functions required by it’s design. It uses a php based help desk, which sends a text message to the site administrators when a ticket is opened. There are extensive support documents, including detailed how to procedures for the users, FAQs, and walkthroughs.  The site also provides a portal for users to access their included e-mail accounts via a selection of webmail interfaces.

The Splash Page

The traditional index, or welcome page has been replaced with a splash page intended to convey the site, and communities purpose via an image.  This image was created for this site by WickdArts Design, and is used as the basis for the overall site style.  The web element is carried throughout the site as the common graphical element. The entire image functions a link, clicking anywhere on it takes the visitor to the site’s main page.

The Main Page

The page functions as welcome to visitors, providing an explanation of the community, a link to the demo site, and access to the rest of the site.  It uses standard navigation for ease of uses to novices, has a floating return to top script, and the Tell A Friend script.  Text links are used to provide direct access to key portions of the site.

The site style uses the spider web graphic as a key part of the background, buttons, and banner. One or more of these elements are used throughout the entire site.

The Signup Form

This form was created to allow people wishing to become a member of the community to request an account. The top of the page explains the requirements to join the community, and a simple explanation of how to submit the form. The form both optional and required fields, and will generate error pages when required fields are not filled in prior to submission.  Critical fields contain addition explanation of the information needed for them to be properly filled.

The Community Directory

The site uses a php application to provide it’s links section. This application was modified to provide a return link to the rest of the site. One of the primary functions of the links area was to provide a complete directory to all the member sites. It is easily updated as new member sites are added. Each link is accompanied by a brief description of the site the link leads to. Links open in a new window.  In addition to the community directory, there are link pages for related sites, member’s non-community sites, and recommended application’s web sites.
