Bartimaeus Cooperative Ministries was looking for a new site to sell books, articles and DVD’s by theologians Ched Myers and Elaine Enns. Dirt Circle used Drupal’s Ubercart module to create a fully functioning eCommerce site. Customers are able to purchase articles and then download them immediately or log-in to download the files at a later date. The site also sells books and DVD’s with automatic calculation of international shipping costs.
Love Thy Neighbor was looking for a site with video support and image galleries to show the community they are working with. They also wanted a newsletter to connect with their donors and a blog where they could tell stories.
Dirt Circle created an easy to navigate site with bold colors and integrated their new logo into a colorful banner.
The Quixote Center had a complex and intricate web presence, with eight websites, various merchant portals, and a strong presence on Democracy in Action. Jeremy’s task as full-time employee was to upgrade and standardize all the sites, consolidate or eliminate superfluous functionality, and expand communications capacity. He merged three Drupal sites into one (see documentation here), and created a site architecture that presented the multiple projects of the Quixote Center as part of the Quixote family.
The ninety-five year old Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) needed to update their web presence. They needed a website that could serve as the nexus for their nation-wide grassroots which would empower users to share content with one another. We decided to use Organic Groups, a Drupal module that allows users to create their own groups, similar to Facebook groups. They also needed a website that was easy to use, and allowed content to be embedded from external sources. And of course, they also wanted a new look, and their old HTML site, as well as two active Drupal sites, to be merged into one. And on top of that, they needed for all their old URLs to work. 
Maid For You came to us for a redesign of their site. We cleaned up the busy text on the home page and helped MFY organize their content in a more accessible arrangement. We created a design with a professional
look to reflect the feeling Maid For You wanted to convey to their customers.
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.
“In addition to being highly skilled with Web production, Carl has the kind
of attention to style and copy preferences that is essential for
publishing newspapers and magazines in any medium. Carl and Eric
interacted with me as colleagues, rather than merely as a client. I
learned a great deal through the process, as well as having the needs of
my publication and our audience met in the Web site.” — Celeste
