Web Design
Alida has designed websites almost since the internet began. She created her first site in 1999, and has designed and maintained multiple websites over the years. [Sample of past websites].
She is self taught and has had to continue learning new programs and procedures as web design has evolved and progressed over time. She is currently proficient in HTML and CSS. Although she is comfortable starting a website from scratch with HTML, she now prefers working with Wix.com. In addition to Wix, Alida has also worked with Squarespace, OpenScholar, and other content management platforms.
In her experience, she has found that clients will hire a web designer for a new website, but then they do not have the skills to update their own site. Alida has found that Wix.com is a good solution to this problem. Wix websites look good and are easy to update and edit by people who do not have any HTML knowledge.
Current Websites
Alida has been webmaster for the Labor and Worklife Program since June 2008. In the summer of 2017, she completely redesigned the site using the OpenScholar platform at Harvard University. OpenScholar is a website creation and content management platform developed by Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science and provided by Harvard Web Publishing.
In 2016, Alida created a website for Valery Marcantonio and her tap dance studio. The site not only keeps the instructional videos organized and easy for the students to find, but it also maintains an archive of performance pictures and videos. The site uses the Wix.com platform.
