Reviving a school website

Earlier this year I took on the task of reviving my son’s high school website. Now we have finally reached the point where the school has decided to officially move from the old and outdated site to this new one.

After another less successful attempt by someone else to relaunch the site, we decided to go for a slimmer and simpler approach this time to minimise maintenance.
Using WordPress, I derived a minimally modified but dedicated child theme based on Twenty Twenty and wrote a bit of PHP, Javascript and HTML/CSS code to adapt the site to the needs and wishes of the school staff.

Some content still needs to be added, but the site is already more functional and complete than the old one, so the school decided to launch it at their summer party today.

I will continue to support the school team with maintenance, development and working on the long list of ideas we still have for the site. These include updating some of the images in collaboration with the photography course and better integrating the school newspaper and other school projects.

SplitBill update

I just finished a completely refurbished version of SplitBill last night!

With a new interface some additional printing capabilities and a whole new code behind the scenes. Which is faster and most importat more efficient in creating the necessary payback transactions.

Also there is more features in the syntax that allow e.g. assignments of fractions of expenses to one person. And more …

Feedback is more than welcome …
