A while back, my mother's car was stolen. I did a lot of researching on auto theft prevention mechanisms and created quite a large document. I recently decided to translate the information to a website to help other individuals find products to protect their vehicle. My goal in creating a website was to make it: (1) easy to update content; (2) viewable on phones, tablets, and desktops; (3) informative with direct links to products.
For a theme, I selected Skeleton for its clean look and mobile-friendliness.
The list of installed modules (excluding modules supplied in Drupal) is rather short: adsense, ctools, analytics, panels, page title, token, and XML sitemap.
Surprisingly, there is no actual content (e.g. nodes). Each of the pages is a panel page that contain 'blocks' with the information.
The "Add This" block on the front page is code I pasted in a block from Add This. There are a few social button modules available, but I elected for just the add this code to make things easier.
There are certainly an array of modules I could install to make the website 'feature rich', but I do not think auto theft is a very interactive topic. Hence the reason I did not install a forum or other socially interactive modules.
I am sure there are lots of features that could be implemented for an information website like this, so if anyone has some suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!
