Website Beta Status Update

A week ago we announced the launch of our CCF website beta sneakpeak, where you could watch the progress of our website overhaul. Not much was there to start with, but we've done considerable work to the front page over the past few days. You can take a peak for yourself at http://www.ucsf.edu/ccf/beta.

A few highlights:

• Fellowships Catalog: Since CCF is about fellowships, we wanted to put a fellowships catalog right in the front page. More tabs will be added to provide a quick, encapsulated view of each fellowship on campus.
• Tabbed Page Nav: We've taken advantage of AJAX scripts to provide a tabbed-style navigation that brings you straight to the content of each page, without having to reload the whole page. The hope is that navigation among pages will be quick and seamless. Right now it's just the front page, but please keep your eyes peeled for more content to come.
  
• Sidebar Sidekick: After playing around with different sidebar implementations, we're trying out a simpler interface. The new feed runs from a script utilizing the Google AJAX API to allow in-page feed refreshes. In other words, you can update the feed without having to reload the whole page!

There's still lots of work left. If you have any suggestions/comments, we would love to hear them!

New CCF Website Beta

The CCF website is getting an extreme makeover! You can watch the progress at our beta page. Our goal is to make it more usable by all UCSF fellowships, both for gathering and posting new content. Any feedback is appreciated!
