Describe your website.
My site is primarily an academic one, but with a personal touch.
On the one hand it contains translations of key Latin poems from the Middle Ages and Late Antiquity, Course information and syllabi, my curriculum vitae; but also pictures related to my work and of my son.
Who is the target audience for your website?
The target audience for my site is my students or other students of Medieval Literature.
Tell us a story about this website.
I've had several compliments about the site from various visitors: the simplicity of the presentation and organization of material suits my finicky personality. Several people have made fun of my vest, that I look like a man doing field-work or auditions for Back to the Future. I like to think it makes me approachable.
Why did you use this Sandvox design?
I chose the design I did, because of the religious imagery in the header picture (a cathedral), which fits very nicely with the milieux in which most medieval texts were produced. A perfect fit!
What techniques did you use to build this website?
I tend to use "sorted title lists" more than anything else, because they allow me to build a variety of sub-categories on any page. Sorted lists are esp. useful for building course pages, because you can link to various resources (i.e. dictionaries, links, readings, etc.) for any given course. It's fast and easy!
