Our church currently has a custom website http://sequoyahchurch.org written in ASP and MSSQL. The current site has a custom admin backend that allows WYSIWYG editing of content and uploading of pictures/files. We like the look and feel of the site (colors, images, flash movie on front page) but we are attracted to the strong CMS features and social aspects of drupal. I am comfortable with some programming but am new to drupal and php. I am looking for a resource I could contract as a 1099 hourly to assist with some of the "heavy lifting".
I have installed a 5.x site at http://dbrs-test.com to use as a test site and debug area until the new drupal site is ready to go live.
Please email me with your thoughts and hourly rates; also if you don't mind please post a short comment to let others in the community know our progress.
Goals:
- Use the power of drupal and existing modules to maintain the site (minimize custom code)
- Uses images, flash, css from existing site to get a similar look and feel
Tasks:
- Review both sites (I can provide all source for existing site and ftp access if needed)
- Add any necessary modules to new drupal site
- Start moving images, flash, css settings (colors, styles, etc.) from old site to new site
I will be adding some features but want to start slow with just getting similar functions from the old site to the new one.
The priority is to keep every clean, well documented, easy to use...and SIMPLE.
Take a look and let me know what you think.
