Ian Bremmer is a top authority on how international political developments move markets and affect the global economy. He wanted a web presence to showcase his books, columns, blog posts, and other ways he interacts with the public.

The site we built for him has a light and simple feel, making it easy for his followers to get the latest informationabout his writings and appearances. Drupal made it easy to provide a custom user interface, an easy to use backend, and endless possibilities for future additions and enhancements.

After completing the EPIC site, Jon and I had the opportunity to build another Drupal site for Columbia University. This one is for new and prospective students of the Mailman School of Public Health. This site was built with Drupal 7, which has turned out to be quite robust and a real pleasure to work with.

We used 8 custom content types, nodereferences (gotta love 'em!), jCarousel Views for the home page slide show, quicktabs, and fancybox. The FAQ pages use jQuery accordions for a tidy look. 

The theme is a subtheme of Omega, and enhanced with Delta and Context.

The most complex part was the department pages; they reference external degree definitions, faculty members, and have a fast FAQ system with teaser and full content popups. The area at the bottom uses quicktabs to display faculty information, as well as other content customized for each department.

Hosting is at Blackmesh, video content serving by Vimeo.

The site has been revised, but my original framework was used until 2009. It was a custom PHP backend with content management features.

This site has been revised over the years, but there aqre remnants of my original design. The site was originally built with a custom PHP CMS backend.

Poest can upload and share poems, choose from fonts and backgrounds, vote on poes. Custom PHP backend and CMS. There are both fee and pay services.
