I've been using Drupal for a few years now, but this project marked the first time I've developed a theme from scratch (using the Zen starter kit framework) as well as a few custom module jobs.
GinaKindred.com - a portfolio site for a designer
Site was designed by the client - it was my job to take the photoshop mockups and develop them into a functioning site that could easily be updated by someone with zero code knowledge or experience. Portfolio items needed to be able to take video/photos, thumbnail should be selectable/croppable, and the content featured on the home page easily ordered/selected.
It's mostly a Views and CCK site, with the usual Imagefield/Imagecache combo doing most of the heavy lifting. Other modules for more specific needs include:
- Jump (displays taxonomy vocabularies as drop-down select boxes)
- Admin with the backported Seven theme
- Better Formats
- Simplify Node Add
- Embedded Media Field (displaying video via Vimeo and Youtube)
- Colorpicker (allows selection of colour of every portfolio item's title)
- Maxlength (to ensure node titles don't fall onto multiple lines and break the theme)
- Taxonomy Redirect
Site hosted by Xplain Hosting and is served using Drupal's aggressive caching and CSS aggregation.
Any thoughts, comments, questions, or bug reports are much appreciated.
