The computing and information science department is currently developing their new website using drupal as the backbone. The test site is up and running at http://tmphp03.cis.uoguelph.ca. This site was designed not to look like a blog/portal site, it is supposed to be a 'static' looking site that has the benefits of a full powered cms behind it. I made use of the custom profiles, pulling research information and other tidbits to create the research pages that are always current (or at least as current as the user profiles). I also hacked the profile module to make profile lists themeable so I could present a professional looking faculty list rather than a standard web user list.

The site is still in a pre-release stage but it is getting closer once the content creators start going and I am sure there will be a few theme issues to sort out. I would be happy to hear your opinions all the same. If you want to compare and contrast, the existing site is http://www.cis.uoguelph.ca.

Cheers,

Vince

Well it appears that those in charge didn't bother to assign it a perm ip... it is currently residing at http://tmphp14.cis.uoguelph.ca/

Actually, I like it. It's a bit crude graphically for a promotional site for prospective students perhaps, but highly functional and clean.
