Portfolio
We are currently working with a number of clients, including Mother Jones Magazine, The Downtown Berkeley Association, Jackson River LLC. and Rock The Bike.
SDCMS & OCMA
The San Diego Country Medical Society (SDCMS) and Orange County Medical Association (OCMA) are both Southern California medical non-profits that aid doctors in their practice and advocate for improvements in medical policy. The two organizations teamed up to have their websites redesigned, ported to Drupal and extended using new features such as premium content for their members-only section and a physician locator powered by Google Maps. New Eon Media was able to build out an enterprise-level theme for both organizations that shared an extremely similar code base. We partnered with Reveal Communications, who provided the original design work and client-management, General Things and Evolving Web, who both developed the new Drupal site.
Tour Divide
At 2,770 miles, Tour Divide is the longest self-supported mountain bike race in the world. The race features live satellite tracking of the competitors and daily blog updates. With these features, the race receives lots of digital spectators. After 300k+ visits in June 2007 crippled the site, an optimized upgrade to Drupal 6 was in order. We reduced the number of contributed modules the site relied on by almost half while improving the overall feel and ease of site management. To compliment the Drupal upgrade, we also refreshed the design using a similar color-scheme and layout but improving on the design's polish and simplicity of site navigation.
SFSU Department of Biology
San Francisco State University's Biology Department had been relying on one professor with a basic understanding of HTML to maintain their website for over a decade. When they decided to redesign their website using the University's standard template, the department opted to use Dreamweaver to manage the site. However, as the number of pages grew to be over a hundred, it became obvious that maintaining the site in this manner was not a sustainable practice. The department approached us to move their content from Dreamweaver into Drupal so all the heads of the department could maintain the content of the website, rather than having to make all their changes through one professor. Additionally, we developed new features for them, including an event calendar and faculty profile system.
Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship
Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship (SBTS) is prominent mountain bike and trail advocacy group in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. SBTS and their hundreds of members perform dozens of trail maintenance days and trail riding events every year. However the organization felt their aged html frame site and reliance on Democracy in Action's CRM was no longer allowing them to communicate with their member base effectively. We worked with their board member and freelance web-designer Nica Lorber on a site redesign and a move to the Drupal platform.
We kicked off the project by consulting with Nica on how to best optimize her original design to cleanly translate into a simple Drupal Theme. We then took Nica's designs and developed both a Drupal site and theme for SBTS. One of the biggest goals was to help SBTS shift away from DIA by allowing them to publish events and handle RSVPs natively, which we were able to accomplish by leveraging contributed events and calendar modules. After a long iterative process in which we ensured all of SBTS's needs were met, we were able to launch the site with much praise from SBTS's Board.
The Tor Blog
Tor approached us with the task of both designing and setting up a blog, allowing the Tor developers to communicate important information about privacy and security. After going through a few iterations of the design, Tor had a simple Drupal-powered blog. A month after launching the blog, the Tor Project discovered the power of the flexible Drupal CMS when they asked us to create a calendar. We were able to install a simple calendar module that had all the functionality the Tor Project needed. We plan on assisting the Tor Project upgrade their blog to Drupal 6 in the coming months.
