Ocular Concepts was the frontrunner in the list of potential web design candidates due to the expertise we had with Drupal. When we started this project back in Aug 2010, we had an experience of 5 successful Drupal driven websites under our belt.
This was a complex project with at least 8 departments in the library who hold meetings, events and seminar every week, all wanting their information to be held online with a priority. The library has a history of 80 years of successful existence and it has a vast collection of resources in form of books, videos, pictures, art forms and collectibles. Their aim was to sell some of its collections while at the same time, making people aware of the great assistance the library does in spreading the literary works. The library also wanted to garner volunteering and joining, through the website.
Drupal was the obvious choice for a project of this scale and we (Ocular Concepts) started with documenting and researching the requirements in depth. We wireframed the home page and inner page look and feel and then did a custom redesign of the library's then existent design. This is a custom designed website and the design was then converted into a Drupal theme with custom jQuery functions and editable sections.
There are many php scripts for creating game portals, but none of them offers enough customization options for a professional use.
When building this website, our aim was to create a flexible and seo friendly structure that could allow us to:
quickly add new games
quickly select which games to promote on the homepage
perfectly integrate with Facebook
give the user the possibility to vote a game
customize graphic layout
add articles and text pages with ease
manage ads on both global and per-game basis
control every single aspect of seo
.. And all that has to be made *fast* (3000 visitors\day on a very cheap dedicated)
We chose drupal because of its great flexibility.
