SolveClimate.com is news and information site focusing on climate change related news. Blog entries are added to the site and related to other content along 3 axis: politicians and candidates, constituency groups and major solutions to climate change. The goal of the site is to show that there is common cause amongst disparate groups of Americans for progress on major climate change solutions.

To achieve the site’s mission, a CivicActions team consisting of project manager, information architect, lead engineer, theme engineer and application specialist worked with the client and a third party designer using Drupal and contributed modules to develop a visually appealing and well functioning site.

The site makes significant use of CCK, Views and Panels, as well as Node Auto Term and other taxonomy based features to pull together content consisting of blog entries, profiles, nodes describing solutions as well as candidates policy positions on those solutions and a glossary around the three axis mentioned above. Users can sign-up for the site and subscribe to email updates based on categories (via the subscriptions module, or simply subscribe to RSS feeds.

We are also using a variety of techniques maintain site responsiveness during periods of high volume as a result of social bookmarking sites like Digg.

Ecoalign company site

modulist — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 00:18:04 +0000

The EcoAlign web site was designed by studio:module with a limited budget to position a new DC-based marketing firm as an upstart in an industry dominated by giants. As such, the site was designed to break a number of rules for web design and make a strong first impression for the new agency.

From a design point of view, it showcases the how far Drupal’s Zen theme can be pushed for a fresh, innovative look and feel. The three column grid was swapped with the main column being on the right. The layout combines photo collage with hand-drawn line work for an airy overall feel.

Its mission is to align consumer behavior with energy and environmental needs for products, services and programs.
