Project: Spirit of the Desert — Community News & Information Site Year: 2007–2011
Platform: Joomla
Role: Web Design, CMS Configuration, Branding
KSL Graphics designed and configured the Spirit of the Desert website, a community news and information resource for the Coachella Valley desert region. Working closely with the client on color palette and graphic content, the site was built around a customized Joomla CMS template that matched the client’s vision while keeping the back end simple enough for a non-technical team to manage independently.
The project emphasized ease of use — allowing the client to add and update content without ongoing developer support.
