Ha ha ha, yeah. Sadly, there are people who FOUGHT for that section to be on the website. THere's so much bureaucratic bull shit that goes into the LITTLEST thing.
I finally found the test-design that I've been working on this week:
http://www.assumption.edu/05www/default2.html
http://www.assumption.edu/05www/default3.html
http://www.assumption.edu/05www/default.html
Those are some of the rotating design ideas. You'll notice in "Default3", the picture of the choir girl ... her hair looks "irregular." I had to cut her out of another picture, and as many people know, cutting our whispy hair with a dark background and making it transparent is nearly impossible ... so I had to completely erase like 70% of her hair and rubber stamp it back in with the more solid parts of her hair... so the right side is like ... straight ... the left is curley, and she has really flat hair on top. Nobody has noticed it until I have told them ... but I'm sure she'll see the picture and be like "WTF ... I was having a baaaad hairday..."
Edit -- this is just a REALLY early design, though. THere's a lot of things I'm pushing for, my boss is pushing for, and other peopkle would like. I HATE the bevel and the drop shadow on the upper text... absolutely hate it. I hate that the "Apply, Donate, Visit" links take up three lines.. that could be moved to one line. I really dislike the dark colored divider between the tan strip and the regular page. Certain people want to keep the bevel and the drop shadow because they htink it looks good ... but it looks old and outdated.
I dunno ... we'll see. I've got a meeting with the Dean of Students on Tuesday and one with the Board of Trustees next week to tell them what's going to happen ... so I somehow have to explain the Assumption College website to a bunch of 60 year olds who barely know how to use a computer.
