Safer Swansea: Finally

Some of you may remember, back in May, I was working on a project in Swansea council, for the Safer Swansea partnership.

Safer Swansea Safer Swansea

Well, I left Swansea council to join the Netring team, and at the point of leaving I had finished all the CSS, XHTML and Graphics for the site. When I realised that I was going to have to leave before the content was put in place (edit: actually, about half of the content was in place by the time I left), I gave a colleague strict instructions on how to update the site content. I even gave them a 'template' to work off. I can get a bit too proud of my work sometimes!

In hindsight, I realise that I didn't think of everything. Not in the least important is that I didn't leave them with any CSS to style a form.

I was really worried that this site would become non-standards compliant when I left it in someone else's hands, but to my surprise it hasn't gone too bad. A form on one page is a bit of a mess, and a new link that they have added to the navigation hasn't got an access key like all the rest. Apart from that I am still quite happy with the way the site turned out.

If I was to dig deeper I would probably want to change quite a few things, partly because I have learnt new things since I did that work. Such is life as a web developer.

Anyway, check it out, and post a comment if you wish.

    Interesting page that. Somebody stole my garden once. I woke up in the morning and where once was lush turf was only a patch of scraggy gravel! ;)

    Nice, simple site Phil. Good one.
