This is the site I’ve been working on for a major part of 2005. I’ve been doing the implementation of the layout (HTML and CSS), lots of logic for the ‘my personal page’ stuff, and some content management. I also worked on the integration of the other website tools and I was responsible for the authentication (not authorization).

We were generally quite pleased with how the CSS layout worked out. But it was only in the end that it started to really pay off: little changes were always done with minor tweaking of the CSS, so we didn’t have to recompile the code. Titles need to look like bullet lists? No problem. The same titles, at another location, need to look different? Okay, they are in another structural <div> anyway. Need to manipulate the layout client-side? Just switch between different layout classes with JavaScript.

Because of the technologies used behind the screens, the site is not in XHTML and not even free of syntax errors. It’s even based on tables for the basic structure. But it does use ’standards mode’ for CSS, and the bulk of the markup is structural.
