Drupal 7

Zappies is a fast-growing and innovative toy distributor and importer, based in West Sussex. They wanted a site that would make it easy for retailers to find products they are interested in from the thousands in stock. The site is automatically updated from stock data held in a Sage 50 database.

The site is built with Drupal 7. It uses Apache Solr Search for the facetted search facilities, and Drupal Commerce for the products and ordering. Custom permissions mean that the wholesale prices and other product details are only visible to trade customers who have logged in.

Chalmers & Byrne provide training to give organisations and their staff the awareness, skills and knowledge to be aware of how the language and the way that they use it, and how to adapt their communication to meet the needs of people with English as an additional language.

The site lists training events, and has an online event booking form. There is also a simple one-product ordering and payment system, using PayPal, for customers to buy copies of the Lowering Language Barriers handbook.

The British Museum wanted a website to enable groups to discuss objects from the museum online, but in private forums. This site features private file handling for images, videos and documents. Each item can be referenced from Forum discussions, and the discussions about each object are linked to from the object's own page. Fonant worked closely with web developers from the British Museum, and in partnership with Tellura Information Services who provided graphic design and usability expertise.

This site was built in close consultation with the client, who had a clear idea of the required "feel" and colour scheme for the site, but was flexible in terms of the detailed layout and design. Costs were kept low by using a standard Drupal theme with only minimal changes to the style.
