The luxembourg architect's office christian bauer & associés architectes - cba wanted to migrate from a purely flash site to a content management system. The pixel-exact flash design was from a partner agency and should be adopt as accurately as possible - modifications was permitted only in typography.

I think this site is a good example for nice looking image galleries implemented only with the drupal modules cck and views. This job partially was a littlebit tricky when the flash logic was not to be in line with the cms logic (like a menu item's active status).

We enjoy to build this site with Drupal - many thanks to the developers! (donation was send 2 weeks ago)

Well done, looks good!

IMHO, in order to improve the speed, the swithing of images would be better implemented with some javascript call instead of a complete page reload.

Thank you for your feedback :-)

I think a javascript solution don't has advantage. In this case 9 full size images and different text content must be preloaded (maybe ajax is better solution) and if javascript is deactivated the content is not accessible. Otherwise (no-javascript solution) in normal case all thumbnails from second page view come from the browser cache.

Your site looks really nice.

You could try with thickbox drupal theme (http://drupal.org/project/thickbox).

Btw, very interesting projects, too.

I love the design of this. It really pushes outside the normal Drupal page Theme boundaries.

I did a site that tried to be high-design as well (for a commercial construction firm.) See http://www.tocci.com. (Check out the Portfolio pages, and dig deep to see some nice javascript hover behaviors.) I hate to admit it, but that site is a Joomla site. I did it before I "discovered" Drupal. But I'd love to re-do it in Drupal, just so I can have another good Drupal site example -- like yours.

Thanks for showing this to us.
