Making Early Modern English website
Posted by mholmes on 05 May 2016 in Activity log
Met with AB and planned out the website; then I created a quick-and-dirty version with crude design so that we can work on the content until PS is able to do a proper design. I've set it up in an interesting way: the index.html file is the root file in which all the site chrome and components (banner, menu, all that) is set up. An ant task processes all the other HTML files such that their content is retained (so you can edit their content directly in the files) but their chrome is rebuilt from the index.html file. That means design work can proceed on the one file, and the changes can be propagated throughout the rest of the site very simply, without the need for any PHP or anything like that.
