Julie Dawson

Julie Dawson specialise in creating the ultimate in luxurious handbags with a strong focus on ecological responsibility.

The web site needed to not only show case the handbags but provide highlight the importance of the environmental work, especially around the use of materials in their work. The overall style of the site has been kept quite neutral to allow the photos of the handbags to take the focus and each handbag has been set up so different types of photo can be added and used is specific ways.

Heritage Expeditions

Heritage Expeditions is a travel company specialising in trips to the Antarctic regions. The web site outlines the trips, departures dates and information related to these trips.

The project was to migrate the site to Drupal and provide Heritage Expeditions staff with greater control over the content and Trip information. Availability information is pulled from the reservation sytem that is used internally and displayed on the site and a focus was placed on automating as much of the display of content as possible to reduce maintenance requirements.

Fix: IE limited to 30 external stylesheets

The Internet Explorer browsers cause an issue for authenticated users in our Drupal site due to a fairly major limitation around external cascading style sheets. The IE browsers are limited 30 external style sheets which is an issue in modular web sites where the stylesheets are included automatically. Usually the last stylesheet to get included and therefore the one that gets dropped by IE is the one that controls the page layout.

A recent case saw a site looking fine for anonymous visitors but no page layout for logged in visitors. The theme css file was #34.

DrupalSouth 2010 a complete success

Several of us at Egressive went to two excellent, inspiring conferences in Wellington last week (18-24 January): Linux.conf.au 2010 and DrupalSouth 2010.

Singular Cycles NZ

Singular Cycles NZ brings the Singular frame to the mountain bike world of New Zealand and Australia. They wanted a web site to promote the unique nature of the frames and reflect the Singular brand.

The site's focus is on the photos of the bikes so the visual style has been muted to allow the colours in the frames to come through. The slideshow on the front page has been made large and is easily updated by Singular Cycles staff. Image galleries provide a more extensive look at the bikes and, again is simple to add images to.

Interface buttons using CSS colours and transparent PNGs

The recent decision to stop supporting Internet Explorer 6 unless specifically required by customers got my brain working around the sudden possibilities of using transparent png images more practically, in particular the use of alpha transparency.
