The story is a grim one.

It's the world's deadliest conflict since World War II. Over 5 million dead. One million displaced. An epidemic of rape. A seemingly hopeless situation.

Fortunately, our friends at the Enough Project have not given up on peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Earlier this month, with help from Forum One, they launched an entirely refreshed RaiseHopeForCongo.org. The site is a hub for activists who wish to change government and corporate policies that contribute to the conflict.

In particular, Enough has been working tirelessly to bring attention to the problem of "conflict minerals." Congo is rich in tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold, which are used in laptops, cell phones, and other electronics. Control of these valuable resources is central to the disputes. Profits from mineral sales are a principal source of revenue for the country's armed militias.

I have an attorney client based in Rancho Cucamonga CA who asked me to develop three new sites for his law firm:

http://scm-familylaw.com
http://scm-bankruptcy.com
http://scm-businesslaw.com

onsip.com is the marketing site for OnSIP, our hosted VoIP phone system for small to medium sized businesses. Our main aim with the site is to inform, inform, inform -- the technology is still in its adoption phase so there is still a lot of confusion about what it is, what it does, and how to implement it successfully. Much of our site focuses on driving the message home about our core business so that potential signups have all the tools they need to decide for themselves if it suits them; business VoIP is by a no means a one-size fits all kind of thing and we try to make that clear.

We mainly use drupal because if we want to do something, chances are that we can - and easily, too. Probably our favorite part of the entire experience with drupal was using the zen starting theme, which lets us customize any aspect of the theme we wanted with relatively low barrier to entry and near limitless possibilities. The fact that the zen theme is so nice definitely speaks volumes about the drupal theme design.

We recently redeveloped the website of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations, based in London, UK. The site is a complex combination of news style publishing, static content pages and directories for things like events and courses, which interlink. We've posted a write-up of the build on our blog:

I hope this is of help to someone.

Cheers.

Khusan.com is an international classifieds marketplace that exclusively offers real estate. The major difference between Khusan.com and other real estate classifieds sites is that it allows for both the merchant (house owner, Realtor, travel agent, etc.) and the consumer (all those wanting real estate) to place their advertisements.

The property portal is at home in Amsterdam, Holland and has been painstakingly engineered around the Drupal open source content management platform.
