Show off your Drupal site

I just finished transfering the semi-static site for Ecstatic Marriage and Family Institute of Fenton River Center to Drupal 4.7-cvs. The site uses a combination of pages, book pages, and a custom node type from the CCK module for their "offerings". The overhaul took about 8 hours: roughly half of that time to convert the theme, and the other half between theming and recoding the custom node type and cutting and pasting.

I designed the original site several years ago, using code I wrote in ASP. Creating the original site was approximately 30 hours. Sadly, except for the offerings, the site was static, and I had to manually create new pages every few months for the client. Finally, because my time for freelance work has dwindled to nearly non-existent, between my now two-year-old daughter and my web developing position at Advomatic, I told the client I wanted to upgrade their site to Drupal, to allow them to make their own changes.

Theme

The layout is simple. The original was made in Photoshop, and cut up with their layer slicing tool. (Nowadays, I prefer to use the Gimp, and slice things manually, because although Photoshop does a fine job, most of my designs need more careful attention than their default chops are able to give.) The original layout was one of my first css-only designs, and needed some attention after all this time.

gidols.com just finished setting up my drupal site. I avoided the use of too many modules (video module) to keep drupals simplicity. Suggestions are welcome

My site mainly relies on "Note Vote and I would like to thank the author and sponsors for making this excellent module available to drupal. Thanks to the drupal developers and community too.

While I adapted a Drupal theme for my business web site, this is my first adoption of Drupal for my own "from scratch" design.

Let me tell you ... I'm new to Drupal, but this is going to take a lot of work out of site maintenance. The less work I have to do to update content (such as making the site owner do it), the better.

I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!

I recently got the go-ahead to make this drupal site publicly accessible:

http://knowledge.ilign.com

It's a software knowledge-base site. We built the site about 8 months ago, but it was private-access-only until a couple of weeks ago. This site hasn't got a large user-base - yet ;)

There's still lots of improving and tweaking going on with this site. Your comments about the site are very welcome.

These points might interest people who are thinking of creating a similar site with drupal:

--Theme design was easier than I thought--
The site has a custom theme, based on bluemarine. For a start I changed bluemarine's tables to floated divs, and then tweaked almost every style. I found the bluemarine stylesheet very user-friendly to work from.

There's a lot that can be changed with the stylesheet, but I soon found myself looking further - at the template files - to see what else I could change. I'm more a designer than a developer, but with some help I got into the php templates and made some simple changes to the site's html structure. As a newbie-developer, I was starting to feel pretty clever! I discovered php-snippets, and with more help I wrote some custom php to list new/fav/recent nodes on the site's front page. The good thing about php template is all the changes to the site are in one directory (mostly in one file), so I felt that the changes I made were lightly done, and easily undone.

Say hello to my beautiful site, the Artists' Forum Workshop!
The site is half Drupal, half phpBB, (meaning it spans two different sites), so I shall only talk about the drupal one.

Hi everyone

We finally have our beta drupal site for our collaborative textbook project up. Any comments/suggestions are most welcome.
