Colophon

Design

The initial site design was approved by the DSVC board in the summer of 2008. Dallas design firm Marblehead donated their services with volunteer help from Jenny Bean and Jordan Lamons to fully design and develop the site.

Front End Development

The DSVC website uses XHTML for markup, CSS for design, and Javascript for some of the nifty behaviors on the site. We use the XHTML 1.1 strict doctype and our javascript framework of choice is jQuery.

Back End Development

DSVC is currently running on Drupal 6. Drupal is a fantastic open source content management system trusted by dynamic sites such as: Fast Company, Popular Science, MTV UK, Sony Music, and Whitehouse.gov. (if its good enough for Barack, it’s good enough for us)

We run Apache 2 with PHP 5 and MySQL 5 on a virtual dedicated server graciously donated to the club by Nearband Networks.

Typography

As of December 2009, all type on the DSVC site is set in FF Meta Web Pro and FF Meta Serif Web Pro both designed by the FontFont type foundry. These fonts are displayed on all browsers like magic thanks to online font server, Typekit.
