We Make Nice Websites

Hard to believe that it was almost two months ago that I started as an intern here at We Make Nice Websites. Hit the ground running on day one when I was given the task to help with redesign the new website. Crazy to think that the new We Make Nice Websites site was designed, coded and completed all while I was there this summer. I learned a lot about the inner-workings of how a website comes about and all of the minor (and sometimes major) tweaks that are involved along the way. 

Other tasks this summer included writing up a “how-to” twitter manual, helping to design a few other websites and getting websites ready in Photoshop. Learned new short-cuts when I accidentally deleted my entire background in Illustrator. Oops. And became a master of Tweetdeck for managing multiple twitter accounts. Not once did I have a Chrysler moment & post something the wrong account. I’d call that a success.

By far, my favorite project this summer was the least web design related… whoops! Can’t help my love for all things social media. For the past few weeks Greg & I have been meeting with Elaine Spaull (she’s running for re-election for Rochester City Council) helping to launch her Facebook Fan Page & Twitter account. It’s really been a great project to work on because Elaine is so awesome and gave us her full trust when making decisions on how to move forward.

As much as I would like to continue believing that it is summer, fall is coming soon! Classes start in one week and as this is my last year at RIT, I’m going to have a full course load! Fall quarter will be complete with a Web Design class of course (Josh & Ian - I’ll try to keep my 2 am emails desperately requesting help to a minimum). 

Huge thanks to Greg, Josh and Ian for having me this summer and letting me work on some pretty cool projects!
