I was the developer for this site. The original goal of this site was to serve as a hub for various tools, data, and training that coastal managers and their teams would need to do their jobs more effectively. As time went on, it also included a number of informational sub-sites that describe various processes in managing coastal issues.
Aside from the original design and management, I was also responsible for porting the site from a static website to being managed by Drupal 7.
The home page. There are a lot of competing interests, and – in my opinion – overly text heavy, but hey, welcome to government web design.
One of the main bin’s landing page. Notice the multi-faceted search on the left. I originally developed this using jQuery, but since the Drupal migration it was run using a custom View. This allowed for users to actually bookmark and/or share filtered pages.
The “home” page for a particular tool. Notice the subnavigation that comes in to play here, which is actually the primary navigation for the tool in question. We had discussed moving towards a “one page” approach for these entries, but the amount of content on some of the support pages does not lend itself to that approach.
