Updated International site

Today I finally uploaded an updated version of UW’s International website. It was a long time coming and its design is a collaboration between Matt Regehr in Graphics and myself. Matt did the heavy lifting design wise, I just offered some CSS skills and general design direction. Kevin Paxman from Graphics also offered some help.
The layout is very close to the original design for UW’s Common Look and Feel—before it was stripped down to bare bones and had a template scheme to make it easy applied to it. With it being wider (900px vs 680px) we took the opportunity to place the navigation further up the page and highlight the sub navigation better. The div class naming isn’t following convention (yet) but it was a bit of a rush between vacation schedules, content being agreed to, and the design coming to life.
I think it is a big improvement over the previous site that was based on the much older standard I developed in 2001. Hope people like it ;)
