Title: Library Website Design and Construction Best Practices
Topic: Vega
Description: The library's website is a critical expression of the library's brand and a powerful influence on a patron's perception of the library. Exploring contemporary design features, organization, and technologies, this workshop will cover best practices for delivering a unified, consistent design experience sitewide. We'll also cover strategies for updating and adding fresh content with minimal effort. Special focus will be given to accessibility and responsiveness. What it means. What to do and not to do. And how to plan for it. Finally, it will include a detailed look at Vega WebBuilder and how the best practices and accessible/responsive design elements can be readily incorporated with WebBuilder. This workshop is suitable for any library, no matter what website platform or tools they use.
