Drupal Commerce site for Moscow bakery

We were commissioned to create a Drupal Commerce based web site for a top Moscow bakery.

Drupal Commerce for Dickies Streetwear

We were engaged to create a socially linked ecommerce site for a new brand range of Dickies clothing - Dickies Streetwear. The brief called for a high performance state of the art site that engaged a growing customer base in the streetwear market. So rather than create a run of the mill ecommerce catalogue site we wanted to create a rich user experience based around news and social media with purchasing opportunities presented across the site.

Technology Articles

Update: we have now combined this site with our main site! And all the articles are available in the one site.

Encryption of 1:50,000 Ordnance Survey maps for Recorder

To enable the secure distribution of the 1:50,000 Ordnance Survey map series for use with the Recorder 2000 application. The maps were to be encrypted and supplied on CD. Users of the CD set should be able to apply for unlock keys for maps, to which they access, by email, fax or post. Once unlocked, the maps should be automatically installed for use with the Recorder 2000 software.

ConvertAll

To create a vertical shrink wrapped application to perform robust currency conversion within Microsoft Office applications for the Euro changeover in Europe.

The resulting application comprised a suite of tools integrated within Word and Excel. Currency conversion rates were managed centrally and can be used to control a network of installations.

The National Biodiversity Metadata Index

To create the foundation for a metadata standard to be used across organisations working together for the conservation of biodiversity. In addition to the production of a ’standard’ the client commissioned a metadata collection exercise to ‘pump prime’ the initiative. The client also required a dynamic web site to show case the metadata collected.
