Custom Feature Development

It's hard to manage the disparate content of 25 individual schools and that of many more unique departments, as well as maintain consistency in both presentation and quality—administrators at Kalamazoo Public Schools know this first hand. They came to us with the lofty goal of doing just that. We worked closely with the district's technology department to build out a new, Drupal-based system that offered a smorgasbord of features: events scheduling and calendars, news articles and alerts, school and staff directories, updateable rotating text and banner, as well as various sub-sites that are accessible and/or manageable by specific user groups. And it all had to integrate with their existing systems, user accounts, and databases. Additionally, we provided website design services, giving the entire website a cohesive and easy-to-use look and feel, matching the school district's existing branding.

LaRadeo is a web-based product that assists horse boarders with managing their farm. Weeks before the scheduled product launch, Equine Maintenance came to us looking for assistance in completing the development of the system. We worked very closely with the client to implement the last round of features, as well as quality test and debug the entire system. Since the successful launch of the product, Equine Management has plans for ongoing development and continued feature enhancements.

The Economic History Association (EHA) is a membership organization that fosters scholarly interest in the field of economic history. Members use the website to promote events and publications as well as provide information on the grants and fellowships awarded by the group. Wanting to take better advantage of their Drupal platform, EHA contracted us to upgrade and consolodate systems as well as create a web-based method for accepting and reviewing applications for grants and fellowships. EHA committee members can now review and rate applications through their website interface, streamlining the approval proccess. We also gave the new EHA website an updated look and feel with a custom theme.
