When to Consider Something Else
Limited Information: If you have minimal information about faculty or staff members, consider using a simpler format, such as a staff directory with brief profiles.
Large Scale: For very large organizations with many faculty or staff members, consider implementing a database-driven directory for easier maintenance.
How to Use
Content Customization: Start by creating a new webpage or content section where you want to display faculty or staff biographical information.
Add Faculty/Staff Information: Replace the sample information (name, title, contact details, bio, etc.) with the specific details of the faculty or staff member you want to feature.
Include an Image: Upload a suitable image of the faculty or staff member and update the image source (URL)
Customize the Quote: If you want to include a quote, modify the text within the <p> tags in the quote section, and update the attribution accordingly.
Accessibility Check: Ensure the webpage is accessible by adding appropriate alt text for images and following best practices for semantic HTML.
Testing: Before publishing, test the page on different devices and web browsers to ensure it displays correctly and functions as intended.
