We recently released a new property website on Drupal 5. The site is still being developed but we thought we'd give an advance preview of what we've been up to lately...

http://overseaspropertycentres.com makes heavy use of Views, taxonomy & fivestar, custom content types, custom modules and a bunch of other stuff...

The OPC site was built by Sitespring (www.sitespring.eu) - under contract to Chillidigital in the UK (www.chillidigital.com).

There's a custom search module which uses views and args, i didnt personally build the search module so I'll have to ask tomf who did to explain precisely what is going on there:)

So far theres around 200 hours in it, still a wee way to go yet, a few issues and bugs to squash and some pretty cool user features using pdflib and views bookmarks, but we're getting there.

Thanks for the feedback.

Pimp your Drupal 8 Toolbar - make it badass.

That search is certainly very nice! I'm also interested in how it was done.

One minor adjustment I would make - the 'price range' selection on the search form doesn't make it clear what the currency is. Just a thought. :)

Your site is really nice, what did you use to make your custom design? I especially like the menu and the tabs.

Most of the graphic and all of the web design design work was done by me using a premade mockup design as reference. The mockup design was improved in several ways as well as redesigned and restructured as the site is designed with CSS.

All graphics I made were designed and exported with Macromedia/Adobe Fireworks 8. I've used Eclipse and its Web and PHP Development Tools for theming.
