Post-Roman Britain and Dynamic Web Design: The Case of the Saxon Shore

The Saxon Shore is currently one of the most popular academic websites on the subject of post-Roman Britain; its new form as an electronic journal is planned to launch 1 January 2003. The founder and general editor discusses some of the ways he has applied dynamic web design technologies (PHP, ASP, Access, and mySQL primarily) to publishing academic material on a unique, specialized niche. The technical challenges, strengths and weaknesses of such things as "scholarly skywriting," online peer review, web review boards, general message boards, multimedia, electronic texts and FAQs will be discussed with reference to how they have been and will be applied to this site.
