The Sojourn

The Sojourn is a university run newspaper from Indiana Wesleyan University. The Sojourn’s online editor first approached me to upgrade and fix their current website solution. When I had a chance to look at what they were using I quickly realized that it was less than adequate for what they needed. A fresh start was necessary and so with a long 2 year process a new site was developed.

The first phase was a completely new framework and site architecture. This phase was built to allow the staff to add/edit/remove their articles to provide current information. This phase also used the same old design to provide a smooth transition.

The second phase was primarily a new design, along with some improved features.
