The New Drupal Social Network

February 27th, 2009

Background on DrupalSN Recently I was involved in the launch of a new Drupal site on the scene called Drupal Social Network (or DrupalSN for short).

Yucatan Today Brings Mexico Tourism to Life

February 16th, 2009

Yucatan Today is a recognized leader in the Mexican travel industry, both in print and on the web. The traffic on their old website was growing rapidly, but the site was becoming too cumbersome to maintain and wasn’t able to handle the volume or complexity of the company’s needs. So we stepped in and revamped the whole site from the inside out, transforming it into a high-performing, modern and professional site. Using Drupal as the CMS, we created a number of specialized functions, including a search system for lodging, events and restaurant listings, a poll, social networking options, a forum, maps, newsletter sign-up and other webforms.

ImageX Launches New International Research Site

February 4th, 2009

The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) is an international think tank whose main purpose is to address international governance challenges through world-class research. CIGI’s business is ideas, and their new website needed to play a central role in disseminating their research and ideas and promoting their expertise. Their goal with this site was to build a global audience online and to better showcase its content and experts. To achieve this goal, ImageX Media built a site that is complex in development but easy to access and navigate. Not only does the site have common features such as a newsletter system, events calendar, photo gallery, blog, and social bookmarking, we also developed a number of custom features to meet the demands of an information-hungry audience.
