The Center for Women’s Intercultural Leadership of Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame wanted to move from their old Dreamweaver site to an easier to maintain content management system that would both save administration time, add new features, and update their look and feel.
They needed a secure system for users to add faculty research abstracts, along with the ability to create their own tags and maintain author profile pages. They also needed an email newsletter, and the ability to add new newsletters as well as manage subscriptions, along with blog space, a calendar, photo galleries, and normal multimedia functionality.
Using the Drupal content management system, Dirt Circle helped migrate all the old content, retool their look and feel, as well as add a user-friendly interface to the new functionality.
Mennonite Weekly Review needed a site redesign and a Content Management System that would let them update their constantly-changing news site with a minimum of staff time. Working off their initial design and layout, we built a clean, simple visual look that allows users to find the information they’re looking for easily and quickly. Using the Django web framework, we gave them a web-based admin interface to upload and tag their articles, photos, and one-off pages.
Elmwood Park School District wanted Drupal training for their in-house tech staff so that they could build and administer their own website. Additionally, they wanted some custom functionality.
Dirt Circle provided that training and customization and continues to consult as needed.
US Labor Education in the Americas Project needed functionality added to their Drupal site. They needed someone to upgrade the site, repair a corrupted database, and build a number of additional features.
Dirt Circle finished the project and continues to expand their site as needed, providing technical support and Search Engine Optimization.

The Chicago Religious Leadership Network on Latin America (CRLN) was looking for their first website. They wanted to establish a web presence in order to share information about their campaigns for justice and human rights in Colombia and to better connect with their constituents in North America. They also wanted their staff members to be able to easily update content on the site.
Dirt Circle set up a website for CRLN using Drupal, an open source content management system. The site includes an event calendar for publishing events and an interface to very easily update content and a navigation structure that they can easily change as their campaigns and areas of focus change. The design incorporated photos from their work as well as their existing logo. We also provided on-site training for their staff on creating and updating the site.
