Digital Humanities List on Slavery and African Diaspora is a resource compiling Digital Humanities research projects.

In my role as Senior Web Designer, I:

  • Met with the client, the company CEO, to collect project requirements
  • Designed the website
  • Supervised the 2 Junior Developer interns on the team
  • Developed a responsive website using Bootstrap, HTML5, JavaScript, CSS, and PHP
  • Imported and organized project data into MySQL tables from an Excel sheet of 71 projects
  • Maintained a MYSQL database used to manage the content on the website
  • Added features to Regenerated Identities, a digital content management service provided by Walk With Web

The projects are displayed in the form of a list of collapsible accordions. The content, text and images, are managed using the Regenerated Identities platform.

The search feature uses Ajax JavaScript and PHP to query the MySQL database by searching the titles and descriptions for keywords.
