Drupal Sites
We work extensively with Drupal, an amazingly versatile open source web application framework. We
- implement customised Drupal web applications,
- "adopt" Drupal sites which have been built by others but require improvements and ongoing support, and
- provide hosted Drupal systems for resellers and assist them with development as required.
Here is a portfolio of some of our sites, implemented and hosted by Egressive unless otherwise noted:
Bio-Protection Research Centre - the multi-disciplinary team of bio-protection experts, based at Lincoln University, champion novel bioprotection technologies for New Zealand's plant-based primary industries through world-class research and development, leading to enhanced national biosecurity, sustainable production systems, wealth-creating technology, protection of our unique, natural ecosystems. We adopted this site from the original developer who had achieved part of the required functionality, and assumed hosting responsibilities and completed the development. We are now providing ongoing maintenance and support.
NZSkier TV - online companion to NZSkier Magazine, featuring more photos, skier profiles, online magazine purchasing, skier gear guide, and a whole lot of great video, including trick tips from Hamish Acland, Neil Kerr and others!
So Much World - online alternative to traditional travel guides - professionally written travel articles and user review site.
So Much World Reviews - allows users to rate and submit reviews of countries, cities, and other places. Features advanced AJAX rating system.
Travel Bookmarking - an online travel "scrapbook" and bookmarking social network - people create bookmarks of content they think is useful to travelers, and the best "float" to the top. Individual users also have the ability to create their own personalised travel guides from online resources, including their own notes. Includes automated website screenshots (as does this page).
NZ Council of Trade Unions - the NZCTU asked us to adopt (upgrade and host) this site, provide ongoing development and support. We upgraded the "Find your union" functionality, replacing unsupportable custom code with new Drupal-native functionality.
NZCTU WorkSafeReps Site - the NZCTU also asked us to adopt (upgrade and host) this site, perform some fine-tuning, and provide ongoing development and support.
