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.

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.
