ProjectBase

Posted February 11th, 2010 in Drupal, Portfolio by Matt

Built using Drupal, this custom designed and templated site makes extensive use of CCK and Views to customise the display of the various different types of content in the site. Views are used, in addition to menus, to present the image grid for each main section.

The ProjectBase team have full control over the site, being able to add in new pages and sections as needed.  Images are added via a simple file upload.

Thumbnail images attached to each page are used in the top section link grids to give a visually interesting and exciting lead in to the various projects and commissions that ProjectBase are involved in.

Future development to the site will focus on increasing the way that visitors can navigate and view the information and making Social Media an integral part of the site experience.

Press Photography

Posted February 11th, 2010 in Portfolio, WordPress by Matt

For this project Ampersand revamped the existing WordPress site, adding a new template, customising it for the course and helping to re-organise the content to make the site work better for the course team and students.

Taking a freely available template to serve as the basis of development, the colours and layout were altered so as to best showcase the great photography.

User profiles have been extended so that the photographers are easily organised into year groups without requiring any administration problems.

UCF Journo

Posted February 11th, 2010 in Drupal, Portfolio by Matt

This Drupal based website was first built several years ago to support the International Journalism course at University College Falmouth.

In January the site was re-built to the latest version of Drupal and the associated modules and components. This has given the site users a much more powerful text editor along with greater support for different media.

3B International

Posted February 9th, 2010 in Portfolio, WordPress by Matt

This project used WordPress to create a new site for 3B International, based upon branding work produced by KI Design.

The blog functionality of WordPress is used to power the News section and the Latest News alert box on the homepage, whilst the rest of the site uses simple, WordPress pages.

This easy-to-update News section proved invaluable in January 2010 when heavy snow throughout Cornwall and the rest of the country caused massive disruptions to transportation. 3B were able to quickly and easily keep all of their clients up-to-date with the latest arrangements.

In addition to the general website, a new design was also applied across the various web-based applications that 3B already offered to their clients, bringing everything in to one cohesive brand.
