New Web Design for LaDiosoLibrary.org
I finished redesigning the website of Leocadio Alonsagay Dioso Memorial Public Library a month ago but was not able to write about it. I used two layouts in this site, a two column-page on the front page without a sidebar and also a two-column page for the other pages but the other column is a sidebar positioned on the left side. The website is using WordPress as CMS (Content Management System) for easy website updates.
It took me at least one and a half months to finish the site but in reality it was only two weeks as I was not working on it everyday. For me, it’s good to work on a project not on a daily basis so I will be able to think of something else that would be good for the site upon checking on it again.
The new web design was officially online on November 19, 2007 although the website has been online for probably three and a half years now.
I am always in contact with the founder of the Library and I thought of helping them as I am one of those very proud Pandananons, proud for having this one of a kind library in the Philippines, which is especially located in Pandan, Antique, the town where I grew up.
The Leocadio Alonsagay Dioso Memorial Public Library, located in Barangay Baybay, Pandan, Antique, Philippines, is the only full-service library in the area and the only one serving as an official access point for the Philippine Electronic Library “e-Lib” Project, for advanced researchers.
The Dioso Library was inaugurated on April 2, 2004, and has operated continuously since then, opening its doors to the public six days a week.
