Dr. Gloria Schrager grew up during the Depression in a small Adirondack village, and decided to study medicine
when few women were in the field. While practicing and raising a family, she eventually became Director of Pediatrics at
Overlook Hospital.
I was privileged to work with her on designing a website to both publicize her books and share her amazing life story.
When Dr. Schrager published her first book, "Medicine, Matzoh Balls and Motherhood", she had a promotional website set up by the publisher
with a short biography and a description of her book. As she began
working on her second book, she wanted a more extensive website that would promote both books,
and include more information about her.
The website I designed for her had:
- a Publications page with descriptions of her two books, along with a list of the articles she published throughout her career.
- a Biography page with the details of her Curriculum Vitae.
- an Appearances page listing her past appearances on radio, television, and speaking engagements.
In 2015, I worked with Dr. Schrager to update the look of her website again:
- the menu was moved down from the upper left corner and replaced with a fourth photo of her.
- links to her email and Facebook page were added
- Her name is displayed using a Google font, rather than a graphic
The updated site used responsive CSS to detect the size of the vistor's device and
display the pages proportionally for tablets and mobile phones.
The top pictures and her name scale down, the menu is rendered differently, and the Email and Facebook links are positioned
differently.
