Show off your Drupal site

I am in the process of migrating my photography site, www.myrsphoto.com, to Drupal. The current site was built with expression web. The Drupal site is at www.myrsphoto.com/newsite and is basically complete. Some links still need to be made and a few minor pages still need to be written. Any comment, good or bad, would be appreciated.

Thanks to all
Richard

www.acaptivememory.com is my 2nd site ever, and it's a site I offered to do for a friend. I'm learning Drupal, and I'm starting to get a handle on things. I wanted to post on this forum to get some honest opinions, meaning, critique the site:)

Most of the content is displayed in blocks on pages, based on permissions and displayed per page. Feel free to create an account with a note that you're evaluating the site, and I make sure you won't get a phone call from a sales person.

I realize I could make the galleries a bit more user friendly, what I'm most concerned about is performance.

Frontpage has the piecemaker module.
Galleries use visual lightbox.
I did not use panels, as I was running out of time, getting frustrated and instead I learned a bit more about CSS.
The theme is Bartik, as you can see I've modified a few things. The section with 3 collumns -'Triptych' blocks- are filled with GIF's weighing in at 800Kb+. My friend wanted this look, but I don't like the fact that there are 11 gifs taking up a bunch of bandwidth. Suggestions?

Other modules used:
Chaos/ Panels
HeadJs
Webform
XML Sitemap

And a bunch of others - mostly stuff in the back (backup, Admin. Views, Sweaver, Wysiwig, Google Analytics, Page Title, etc etc)

We started last year in Mar 2011 with the aim to building a medium sized eCommerce site offering upto 500K products in the initial phase with the catalogue of mainly Books. Toys and Educational Toys. We already had a toy site built on Drupal by our developer so we were fairly confident that building a new site would be fairly simple.... but I guess you can sense the but coming :)
It was fairly easy to build up the initial bare-bones site, Giftsmill.com with a simple theme and only took about 1 week since we had based it on our earlier site. To say that we were amazed by the simplicity of getting up and running was an understatement! We had a test site linked up with PayPal within the first month. After the initial test site though, we did have to put in a lot of hard graft to get up to speed with the new-er modules and the sheer difference in size of the new site.
The most painful part for us was the custom uploader we had to build to import the vast amount of the product specific data that we had to load the site with. With hindsight, we should have just built a new module, maybe when we upgrade we will build a module to upload book data. The other thing that caught us out was the site wide search and it took us about a month to fine-tune.

Hi,

First of all thank you for viewing this thread :).

The website itself is in dutch.

I have created this community becouse there are many sites that do 'the same' but i do it in a different more stylish way.

I have added many modules, like 2 different profiles upon registration and much more.

Played around with views alot.

(this is my first drupal website).

Tell ma what you think about it :).

Introduction

Plugger is a completely free SaaS (Software as a Service) developed to manage business online. Today, you can use it to share contacts and files, and new modules are already being developed.

The Project

Plugger is a SaaS solution for small and medium enterprises, and freelance professionals who want a simple and easy platform to fully administer their business with confidence.

The project foresees packages of features that will be incorporated as they are developed, so we can build a user base and familiarize them with the tool, reducing the initial complexity of use.

The Solution

To release the software as planned, it was essential to choose a development framework that would allow us installing new features quickly and easily.

Now, this does not seem to make much sense, but the choice of Drupal was not so simple. Two reasons in particular led us to it: we already have an extensive experience with Drupal accumulated in years of development, and we believe this is an important initiative for the Drupal community in Latin America.

So, the next decision involved which version of Drupal we would use. We opted for Drupal 7 to avoid a migration process and to explore the new features of the platform, and we were very pleased with it for several reasons:

Started our website for men from scratch in June 2009 with Endless News theme and no drupal knowledge. Think the site is coming along nicely and wanted to share with you guys. I LOVE drupal and recommend it to all serious developers. Check out our site http://afrodaddy.com and feel free to criticize.

Thanks, and long live drupal!!!
