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.

Lola needed a combination of photo galleries, blogging, announcements, and stories from customers, in order to explain what it is she does. I built the original site, and it has since been expanded by other developers.

The designer came up with a clean and simple look, but with interactivity to drill down for details. Course descriptions and details can be expanded on the registration and checkout pages. Extensive custom theming was used to change the workflow and look of the cart and checkout pages. Students may register and pay for courses online.

Site administrators see a menu in the footer for quick access to common administrative functions.

All content, including the slideshow on the home page, may be easily modified by non-technical users.
