snowcarbon
"OBJITSU have been integral to snowcarbon, helping us evolve from our early beginnings to the ninja site we need to be. Working with Sean has been fantastic. A great communicator who thinks big picture, covers the details, and has helped our site evolve to a new level.You can borrow him but please don't keep him..." -- Daniel Elkan, co-Founder.
Our relationship with snowcarbon was begun a good while ago now, in fact neither of us are quite sure how we first came to each others attention! Daniel Elkan, the co-founder of snowcarbon, is constantly working night and day, spending most of his life on-board European railways, attempting to make snowcarbon *the* company that ecologically aware skiers will turn to when looking for a great holiday deal that literally won't cost the planet.
So he has entrusted the site to OBJITSU to maintain its current level of output and we have also begun preliminary discussions about re-designing and re-implementing the whole site in Drupal 7 and taking advantage of that to also provide site visitors a radically new user experience and a fantastic new way of finding out all there is to know about getting from A to B during the course of a holiday. Oh yes, and we're also going to be providing a new way to allow users to find A and B as well! It's going to be a very exciting and interesting year for this partnership!
Currently ...
The current is powered by Drupal 6 with all the usual modules you'd expect from a busy Drupal installation being called upon to get it through the average working day. The CCK module is used to great effect as a lot of the site is powered by custom content types, for example the resorts pages, ticket booking pages etc. are all driven by CCK extensions. AJAX is used here and there too, made all the easier by the super-simple menu callback system that is part of the Drupal framework and of course the #ahah FAPI programmability as well. In short, Drupal rocks!
Here's the list of CCK Modules: Content, Content Copy, Fieldgroup, Filefield, Imagecrop, Imagefield, Link, Node References, Number, Option Widgets, Text
From the optional core modules we are using the Blog and Blog API module as Daniel likes to be able to update the site from a train or a plane and Drupal lets you do just that.
Core-optional modules:
Blog, Blog API, Comment, Contact, Database logging, Forum, Help, Locale, Menu, Path, PHP Filter, Profile, Search, Taxonomy, Update Status, Upload
