Drupal configuration

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.

This site was built to replace a WordPress site. The new site is easier for MXT to maintain and add content to, and includes mailing list functionality to enable MXT to keep their many customers informed of new courses and events.

This site has some complex e-commerce features, including VAT handling, export order capability, various different product discount and combined purchase discounts, and more. Custom content types were generated to make it easy to add and manage the many small "box adverts" that link from each page to other relevant pages on the site. The Drupal theme was constructed to make a working version of a series of Photoshop designs. This was a long and complex job to achieve the page layouts, especially for products, required.
