I had the pleasure of working with Sonja Schneider again on yet another Drupal project. Using an already existing install of Drupal, I was in charge of building a new skin, adding new sections, and providing additional functionality. Using a mix of XHTML, CSS & jQuery(Javascript). The new Plenty site adds a slew of new features, all of which built on standards based code. The site degrades on older browsers, but provides a slick interface for the users that keep up to date.
Dace (d a c e) is a local fashion designer. I used XHTML with CSS and Javascript (Lightbox, SWFObject and sIFR) to build the templates, which run on the Shopify CMS system. Shopify is a great online sales system which allows you to create you own templates from scratch, so there are no restrictions when it comes to implementing a great design over organized, standards based code. The online store allows users to purchase items online, and provides an easy way for Dace to add new products every season.
