Does anyone know of a Drupal site used to conduct public consultations - using features like surveys, forum, polls, etc to elicit feedback and input on government policies, decisions, issues, etc?
The new NextAutos.com combines the authority of our Winding Road Magazine editorial team with a decidedly democratic slant: as a member, you can author and upload your own stories directly to NextAutos—appearing side-by-side with stories written by our editors. With the interplay of our editorial team’s work and community-authored stories in full view, NextAutos systematically destroys the notion of what’s expert and what’s not. We believe the value of information is determined by its usefulness to the reader, not by who wrote it.
In a nutshell, it's a blog that provides tips and insight on investing, personal finance and current online deals to help people make the most of their finances and save money.
Just launched the site Literate Machine.com. It's a site that allows anyone to upload and sell their own comics, ebooks and other digital downloads. I had to hack it quite a bit to make the ecommerce module do what I wanted (eC4 has many of the features I had to roll myself here, but sadly, it's not stable yet), and there was a lot of module customizations. Take a look.
We decided to break from the traditional header-columns-footer style and do something a bit different, with three small boxes (plus a unobtrusive footer) on the front page, and then replacing the right two boxes with one larger one on the pages after that. Other than we have focussed strongly on ease of use and elegance.
Usability
We wanted a website where people can get the information they need very quickly. This resulted in:
The front page being designed to give viewers a hopefully impressive representation of our design skills. The styling was designed to be absorbed for a few seconds before taking in any of the content.
The ‘website design’ page being a bullet-point style list of what we offer in our general package. All the key features we feel people are likely to be interested in are given here.
The portfolio pages currently use a relatively traditional style of heading-image-summary, but we intend on using image navigation as the list of entries grows.
