Computer Engineering Department Website

This was a web-programming course project in which I designed and developed a website for a Computer Engineering Department using PHP, HTML5 and CSS3.

Information Architecture

A department website serves visitors with different goals. A prospective student may look for program information, a current student may need course or announcement content, and an external visitor may be looking for academic or contact information.

I therefore treated page structure as more than visual layout. Content categories and navigation paths had to make different information types discoverable without forcing every visitor through the same sequence.

Presentation and Server Side

HTML5 provided the page structure, while CSS3 handled visual layout and adaptation across screen sizes. PHP was used on the server side where common page elements or dynamic presentation required it.

The purpose was not to reproduce a modern enterprise content-management platform. In the context of a web-programming course, the project provided practical experience with the boundary between browser-side markup/style and server-side generation.

Retrospective

My later web work expanded into accessibility, structured data, security headers, search visibility and performance. This project remains an early example of applying core web standards and server-side programming to a real departmental information structure.
