Pushnote

Pushnote was a system that allows people to comment publicly on any website on the internet. The site had Stephen Fry as a business partner, so had a relatively high profile on the internet. To cope with the expected large initial demand, when Mr Fry tweeted about the new site, the system was installed on three dedicated servers at RackSpace, plus a firewall and load balancer.

Cycling Embassy of Great Britain

The Cycling Embassy campaigns to publicise bicycle friendly systems that work in other countries, working with other like minded organisations to make our streets safer for all. Run entirely by volunteers, it aims to appeal to anyone who uses a cycle for transport, even if they do not regard themselves a "cyclists". The website has many functional features, including a Forum, a Wiki area for users to create and edit pages, and comprehensive document and page classification systems. This site started life using Drupal 6, then was upgraded to use Drupal 7 in January 2012.

Exercise Click

Exercise Click provides hundreds of easy-to-follow videos of injury rehabilitation exercises.

Fonant built the Drupal site to provide the required functionality for the project. In particular the site required the ability for certain users (medical practitioners) to be able to create and control user accounts for their own patients.

The site also uses online payments and a credits system, so both patients and practitioners are able to buy access to training videos in a flexible manner.

Visit Grubtown

Visit Grub Town was built as a spoof tourist board website, to accompany the award-wining Grubtown books, published by Faber & Faber. The site was built using Drupal, with some highly-customised Google Maps to display the interactive maps and images for the site's "game". Time-based publishing was used to enable new pages as each week of the campaign passed.

Skills Workshop

Skills Workshop: Home page

The long-standing Skills Workshop website was proving to be very time-consuming for the owner, Maggie Harnew, to keep updated. New contributors continued to send in new teaching resources, but the time taken to add resources to the site meant that a back-log was building up. Luckily, Maggie won the LSIS Star Award 2009 in the Skills for Life category, and the prize money funded conversion of the site into a Drupal content-managed site. This has enabled Maggie to spend more time concentrating on editing submitted resources, and less time having to maintain the web pages themselves.
