This is a demo website I designed for the UMass Amherst Alumni Association. The site is completely hand-coded (no CMS) and is full of lorem ipsum.
Why I made it
After posting some strong criticism of UMass’ alumni association, I was contacted by the association’s Associate Director for Alumni Communications & Technology, thanking me for notifying them of the display issue.
After a gracious exchange, he asked if I would review the association’s current website. The result was an 18-page PDF and this demo website.
Proof of concept
The goal of designing this demo site was to show the association how a modern design can apply to their website and help meet their needs. Their existing site is functional, but not very usable or enjoyable. Hopefully this demo site inspires them.
