Using Weebly - A Backstage Glimpse At Architekwiki

Using Weebly for Architekwiki

When the idea for Architekwiki first came around, I was already familiar with Weebly. I had built a new website for Wolnitzek Architects to showcase our Planning expertise. Check it out.

All of your time is spent on the content and none of it is spent on website management (also known as 'bull###t'). The only impediment to you starting your own website today is coming up with a concept and a layout. You can even 'wing it' and change it on the fly later.

C10-Special Access Handicapped Toilet Room

OVERVIEW / DESCRIPTION
I have been volunteering my time for a non-profit for 30 years. During that time I have learned a lot about accessibility. The first toilet room conversion that I did for the agency was a disaster. The clients are REALLY disabled, and a standard ADA toilet room is barely a good start.

This project converted an office into a toilet room. This became a priority when a reorganization of space created a 75' trip down the hall to get to the rest rooms. The adult clients were going 'walkabout', having 'trouble', or taking staff with them for assistance, which left the program understaffed.
