Ted Kooser’s Official Website

Ted Kooser's Website
URL: http://www.tedkooser.net
I redesigned Ted Kooser’s website from a page that used Flash navigation and wasn’t very accessible. He had to change domains from .com to .net because the tedkooser.com name expired. I was able to get his new site back up to the top result in search engines within a month. Ted Kooser is a poet and essayist, a Presidential Professor of English at The University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He served as the U. S. Poet Laureate from 2004-2006 and won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for poetry.

Educator’s Employment Fair

This project was designed to facilitate the posting and searching of open teaching positions at the Educator’s Employment Fair at UNK. In the past, this was done using a word-processor, but this site was built using a database with records for each of the positions that were open. Using this method, open positions could be searched by endorsement, location, or school. It also allowed students who were looking for a job to return to this website prior to the fair to get contact information for the schools or to search for positions.
