The Pangasinan State University’s Official Website is powered by DotNetNuke, an open-source content management system that is built on ASP.NET technology and MS SQL Server 2005 Express back-end support. Before, PSU website uses the default DNN Blue Fixed-width skin and was very much simple that time.
With the abundant availability of nice DNN skins free for downloads, it is very easy to play around different DNN Site looks and feel. Some of these skins, especially those with top caliber designs are actually being sold while a lot with fair to quality looks are also being given free.
The best part is, you can actually create your own skins and make your website an originally-designed one. I happen to read a “How to create your own DNN skin” tutorial and discovered that it is actually not that complicated to create your own skins. You can start creating a simple one and then later transform your design into a more sophisticated design.
Now with some combinations of DNN skin designs, I changed the PSU Website’s look and feel with what it is right now. Visit the site and see what it becomes at http://www.psu.edu.ph. You can also open it directly at http://202.91.163.10/psu.edu.ph to skip the url redirection.
