Walker Art Center Web Admin

When I joined the Walker in 2002 there was a push to move from their old static website to one that was dynamic. At the time they had minimal experience doing this and even less experience in building an admin system to support it. In doing the design and implimentation of the Walker's admin I took keys from my past admin work for clients such as American Express and Macromedia.

The admin was structured much like the website would end up being, around the concept of "neighborhoods" and "canopies", which can be thought of as an extended folder/file metaphor. The admin also had approval steps for editorial, event entry, person relationships, link lists and a media manager. This admin served the Walker until their eventual redesign in 2011.
