an early aughts basic website recreated using modern tools
In the early aughts, I co-founded the Landscape Architecture Film Series for the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign and for which I designed a website.
Now in need of a website to use as a vehicle to play around with a few Amazon Web Service (AWS) products but not wanting to spend anytime to ideate and design a new one from scratch, I turned to that old website. Its look and feel has aged well, I think, and indeed looks remarkably contemporary. For instance, if the current version of MoMA's film series is anything to go by, bold color blocking isn't a dated design choice.
This, then, is that 20-year-old static website ressurrected as a dynamic web application with a data model to speak of, using modern tools such Flask, SQLite, VS Code and Git.
