Promet’s web development of The Ambrosia Bakery’s site was not only key in improving the bakery's online look and feel, but also pivotal in moving the company forward. “[Since Promet’s redesign,] we’ve had a tremendous increase in online revenue,” Ambrosia’s Felix Sherman, Jr., said. “I’m real at peace with everything they’ve done for us.”
Located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, The Ambrosia Bakery has been in business for nearly two decades, serving its community some of the freshest baked cakes and pastries anywhere. Its delicacies are so popular, it’s not uncommon for customers to travel to the area just for a chance to indulge cravings for desserts such as the Fresh Strawberry Cake, the Scarlet O’Hara, or the luscious Italian Cream. For Ambrosia, living up to its name, “food of the gods,” was not a problem--but finding a way to maximizing online selling power was.
UPPNEX is a new initiative at Uppsala University, (lead by it's High Performance computing center SNIC-UPPMAX), to provide storage and high performance data analysis resources to the vibrant Next Generation Sequencing community in the Stockholm/Uppsala region and Sweden as a whole (some of the many recent projects was recently published in Nature).
This initiative is thought as a resource for wet-lab researchers with limited computer experience, and so it was important to provide with a one-stop place were these users can go to find documentation, information and contact to support staff. A website needed to be built.
Jonas Hagberg, system expert at UPPMAX and lead of the UPPNEX project, built up the site, created the current theme as a modification from the sky theme, and created the overall structure. Frustrated with the Plone CMS for the UPPMAX website, the choice of Drupal was natural. I came in at the later stage of the project to create some graphics, the logo (in close collaboration with Jonas) and some additional configuration.
Government bodies and companies face the challenge of creating websites that are optimally accessible to people as well as browsers and search engines. There are internationally recognized agreements for creating accessible websites like WCAG. The Dutch government has assembled these international standards in a quality model called the Web Guidelines. This quality model mandates significantly better websites that are made for all people.
Before the end of 2010, all Dutch governmental websites must comply with this set of guidelines. The symbol on the left is the certificate displayed by sites that validate to all 125 guidelines. Recently, the ICTU, an institution founded by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations that helps authorities to improve their ICT performance, decided to relaunch the Web Guidelines website using Drupal. The information on the new site (www.webrichtlijnen.nl / www.webguidelines.nl) is tailored to specific target audiences and the phases of an implementation. A developer or editor can now view the guidelines that are most relevant to him or her. The new site features case studies, best practices and success stories. It also offers a tool that can automatically check if a website conforms to 47 of the 125 guidelines.
I'm building a Movie DB project where user type the movie name and the site would bring information from every kind of different source (IMDB,Flixster,Netflix,Wikipedia,etc...) then the site would summarize it and display it to the user.
The search is already working; Everytime the user type a movie name, the script assumes it's certain movie then check the information on each source and saves it in the DB.
