Open Street tries to change the way people see and use the communal spaces of our roads. They argue, that «Streets are more than just spaces used by cars». Their aim is to raise citizen awareness and change the behaviour of streets in the city, this, by carrying out campaigns and organizing various events such as their flagship days - OpenStreet Days.

Why Drupal was chosen: 

Drupal was chosen for the Open Streets project because its modularity allows for a great level of flexibility for the editors - they can easily create and publish content, set certain user roles and specific permissions, choose who can access (view, edit or share) specific content and much more.
In terms of features, operation, layout, and design, Drupal is highly customizable, which provides a great variety of choice to both developers and designers to address their clients’ requirements and specific needs. Drupal also allows for a non-hierarchical and flexible content structure.

Describe the project (goals, requirements and outcome): 

Originally the site was on Drupal 7, and with the entire re-design for the Open Streets site, we migrated it to Drupal 8. The previous site was built in 2013 and the home page was built more as a news feed which did not provide the essential information about the organization immediately.
In the whole redesign, we made sure that the hero area was more explanatory on who Open Streets are and what they do, and brought in brighter elements. The rest of the site followed suit in terms of fonts and colors, but to make sure that loyal Open Streets fans didn’t get too lost, we generally kept the same layout.

Technical specifications

Drupal version: 
Drupal 8.x
Why these modules/theme/distribution were chosen: 

Date time - for the events, to show the start and end date
Image URL Formatter - to use images as background images on the home page hero area/blocks
Focal Point - to set the center point of images around which to crop, ensuring that faces aren’t cropped off strangely
YouTube Field - An easy way to insert You Tube videos into content
AddToAny - encouraging users to share content
Contact storage - as we are not yet using webforms on the site, we decided to go with the standard contact form and Contact Storage for retaining form submissions
