Seamus P. H. Leahy’s Portfolio

  1. Americans United Redesign

    { Screenshot }

    I led a major CMS migration including over 5,000 content items and overhauled the information architecture to focus on how users use the site instead of organizational structure. I also served as art director/project lead for a redesign to improve user experience. After the blog redesign, the unique visitor count nearly doubled.

    I designed my personal website as an experimental playground for web design and development. Currently, the backend uses Django; previously, the website used other CMS's including MovableType, WordPress, and others.

    I managed, updated and redesigned the organizational web site as the interim web manager. I created a design that utilized their branding and targeted their primary audience - college students.

  4. Americans United WordPress & Drupal Usage

    { Screenshot }

    I fashioned WordPress sites with custom themes, third-party plugins, and custom plugins for sites to be managed by communications staff. By disabling unnecessary features, I streamlined the admin interface. Since the content is the same type and is order by date, I choose WordPress.

    I also created multiple AU web sites with Drupal when, the content was of multiple types with different attributes, better suited. I fashioned the sites with custom themes and third-party modules.

  5. Grant Database Web Application

    { Screenshot }

    I created a web application on PHP, MySQL and Apache for researchers to search a list of research grants. In addition, I integrated the university's single-sign-on system for user authentication for the admin features. This application transformed a pre-existing offline list into a search online database.
