Hi Annie,

Here are my comments:
    * Since we are a small and fairly new dept with a small budget, it was
the MSO and myself who designed it. She's a very creative and intuitive
manager who has nice ideas
    * Staffing is only me and my intern. We do occasionally have faculty
giving input but very minor!
    * We did not contract any designing firm. We looked at many different
university sites, specifically in bioengineering/biomedical and put the
ideas together
    * Since it was me alone. I spent a lot of time designing it. We
purchased Dreamweave/Fireworks package and I had to train myself. After a
year, I took a class. But, it was more to answer some questions the manual
couldn't answer for me
Hope this helps Annie!

My turn:
This is a question for everyone. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to
yesterday's meeting. I would have liked for others to see my sites and comment:

I was told that some of my web pages, particularly the index sites (UG and
Grad) are slow to come up. Since I was self-taught, I might not have done
something right (slicing) when designing it. Could it be the larger image I
designed in Fireworks and exported it to Dreamweaver? I have
Dreamweaver/Fireworks 3 package. I think I need to slice it for faster
loading, is this true? If so, how do I do this? Unfortunately, I don't have
problems viewing my sites, they come up right away...so I have no idea what
others are seeing with older computers.

Feel free to take a look and give me your feedback:

UG - http://bioeng.berkeley.edu/
Grad - http://bioeng.berkeley.edu/graduate/index.html
