The website was part of a marketing campaign my employer did including poster, ticket, and merchandise design, for our neighborhood association. The overall goal was to theme everything to look like it belonged in the wine section of your local retailer. Until 9/25/2009, the site had online ticket sales using Ubercart and google checkout as a payment processor.
The site was implemented using Drupal 6, CCK, Views, Ubercart, Webform, and the usual assortment of back-end and administration modules (admin, wysiwyg, imce, imagecache, path_auto, etc. etc.). The design is the result of one of our zealous designers that originally wanted to build a large portion of the site in flash. I was able to talk him out of it as I knew it could be done better using jQuery, advanced CSS, and Cufon to hit on all of his design wishes (transparency, fading-in background, abnormal fonts for navigation and <H> tags) while maintaining the look, feel, and interactivity he desired. The fading background is a view that outputs a photo from a specific content type at random, and it is stretched, placed, styled, and animated using jQuery.
After the festival tomorrow (well, probably Monday since I plan on sampling heavily), we will load up images from the festival, create galleries, and enable visitors to upload their own photos. Ticket sales will be back online summer 2010. Enjoy!
I am new to Drupal, and have a few projects in mind that I plan on using Drupal for. I wanted to see what had already been done using Drupal, and was plesantly surprised to see a very nice drupal site done up by my friends over at The Canton Group. Now that I know they are developing with it, I'm very confident that I'm making the right time investment in learning Drupal.
