Drupal CMS

Drupal experts here. Content Management System (CMS) websites are built for steady use and regular, simple updates to content. They can be very simple or complex. Either way, we pack them with great functionality and the highest degree of usability, creating a great user experience. We are an active part of the Drupal community of developers and themers. Whole sites, training, planning, consulting... anything Drupal— we are interested.

Friends of Karen

Responsive Website Design in Saint Augustine

Even some CMS websites get a little too complex and become difficult to use. That defeats the purpose of allowing clients and site owners to get the most out of their investment. We were faced with a Drupal installation that needed some reorganization and redesign to get the typical awesome Drupal experience for our client.

The site covers quite a bit of content and has a need to archive much of it. Behind-the-scenes management for this organization is a priority. They needed efficiency and ease of use for this online presence with as much flexibility as possible. We tailor each Drupal CMS site to our clients specific needs and strive to deliver an experience for the administrative team as well as the general audience.

Their critical work and devotion to a vital cause made it all the more important for us to design a site that gave them the ability to communicate with potential donors as well as those needing their help.

The site was relaunched in 2016 as a state-of-the-art responsive Drupal CMS website.

The Research Network on an Aging Society

Responsive Website Design in Saint Augustine

We work with The Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University in New York, and they came to us for this special project funded by a MacArthur Foundation grant. We were privileged to work with Dr. John "Jack" Rowe on this project and were successful in providing the Content Management System requested in a look and feel that was fitting for the subject.

The site was awarded a 2009 Big W from the Advertising Club of Westchester in the non-profit website category.

Sarah Haviland

St. Augustine Website Design | Fine Art Website Design

New York artist and sculptor, Sarah Haviland's website is focused on the artist and her work.

"Artistic" websites are a bit different than a typical business website since it is a showcase that needs to reflect the sensibilities of the artist. We see this as an advantage when working with us since our roots involve the fine arts, and we offer a well rounded, aesthetic approach. You won't find that from many website design companies.

A dramatic homepage is the opening scene in this website. From there, you can easily navigate through several galleries of sculpture, drawings, and installations.

Sarah has the power of Drupal® behind her website- a CMS application that allows her to upload, manage, and categorize her work exactly as she wishes. Most artists we know are quite capable technically, but even for those that may not be so inclined, a Drupal CMS website allows them to keep their site current. Search engines love that too.

A recent redesign greatly improved the user interface (UI) and the user experience (UX).

Sovereign Lighting Manufacturing

Responsive Website Design in Saint Augustine

Sovereign Lighting Manufacturing presented another unique challenge and allowed us to stretch our wings once more. 

We built a catalog site that was also e-commerce but for industry trade clients only. We have built out their catalog product listing with comprehensive taxonomy and taken full advantage of Drupal's multi-level access controls to allow Sovereign's staff to see their own internal specs when viewing their inventory, and clients see only the specs they need to order.

We loved the opportunity to make another industrial site look as sexy as possible with much visual punch and to establish a trustworthy presence online for the company. 

See the recent redesign; we replaced a flash site with something equally compelling. Visit the site online.

Dramatic Pragmatics

Responsive Website Design in Saint Augustine

Dramatic Pragmatics offered one of those challenges we love. We had never handled their type of business or subject matter so we needed some education about language coaching, speech therapy, and social skills therapy. What came out was fun and playful and very well received. SEO got the site found rather fast and began collecting responses from clients very quickly after publishing the site. 

This website was redeveloped as a responsive Drupal 7 site in 2015.

Charles Griffin Intelligence, LLC

Responsive Website Design in Saint Augustine

Communications are not necessarily literal when it comes to marketing and advertising. We like to call it "atmospheric" in the case of Charles Griffin Intelligence. There was a "feel" our client was attempting to evoke with photography and left it to us to put those in position and set them in motion. We were more than happy to assist.

Collaboration with our clients is important to the success of our work and we are always open to their ideas and concerns. We will act as your experts, giving you honest appraisals based on knowledge and experience. We will not shy away from a difficult critique when we feel something could be better and vice versa, we are not primadonnas and can take direction.

This "Website in a Day" began as one of our Smart Site products and played out very well for our client. Once the initial site was built and online, we were called back to improve upon the styling. That is the scenario we envision for some of you- need for a very professional site, and then build onto it as the business grows and budgets allow or needs dictate. Our client had their content ready to go, and we literally built out a CMS site in 24 hours.

Site was redeveloped as a responsive design in 2015.

Demeter's Sports Bar and Tavern

St. Augustine Web Design | GO2 Media Design

Demeter's Sports Bar and Tavern gave us the opportunity to create a "feel" to be used in promoting their friendly, neighborhood sports bar.

Watch the game, meet new people, all in a warm and inviting atmosphere that's been a part of the community for several years.

Higher Ed Responsive Website for Pace University

Web Design for Higher Education

When it comes to packlng six schools and thousands of pages of articles, documents, instructions, directions, courses, staff, faculty, and admissions information into a website for a university, Pace.edu covers it all. This massive Drupal site was a phenomenal redesign effort that took many separate school sites and combined them into one seamless experience. This site is used as the main marketing vehicle for admissions as well as a deep source for information pertaining to this New York university with two separate campuses plus a law school. There are over 200 editors that manage their own areas on this site. It's big, it's beautiful, and it's one we've had a big hand in getting online with much sucess.

Ridgeview Designer Builders

Ridgeview Designer Builders

Websites give businesses the advantage of showing what they do to the rest of the world. Many photos of their work make Ridgeview Designer Builders' website a fantastic showcase of craftsmanship and design. Most of us would love to inhabit any of the houses they build. Browse the website, you will be impressed.

This site is built on Drupal 7 with a custom theme with heavy use of Views and Views Slideshow.

Bethel New Horizons

St. Augustine Website Design

Bethel New Horizons has been a client of ours from a referral for some time now and we have been fortunate to work such an incredible staff of dedicated and professional people.

We redesigned their website in 2006 (see it here) and then six years later, we converted it to a Drupal CMS site. The improvement allows staff to update photo galleries, add events, and improve their presence online. Since Drupal is modular and flexible, we can add content with ease and provide valuable content to increase exposure to search results.

We'd encourage you to visit the site online however another redesign by another company is atrocious. Marketing based on data alone is cold and unfeeling and wholly inappropriate for some clients. People notice and it matters.

 

Deborah Druick

Responsive Website Design in Saint Augustine

"What a cool site" That's what we thought when we were first approached to design this. When you have such incredible and interesting works of art as subject matter, the job becomes fun and the rest just follows. Simplicity in design is not always easy to obtain with many temptations to "add this" or "do that". Here is a website design that cuts through to the subject- and leaves nothing to guesswork.  

The site is built on the Drupal CMS platform allowing for our client to easily add to her galleries, specifying size, date, etc., with ease. The homepage is a fun mixture of cropped versions of all the artwork on the site that creates a unique layout each time the page is refreshed. Go ahead and try it- see what you come up with for a layout.

Dominique Apparel

St. Augustine Website Design | GO2 Media Design

One of the most challenging sites to design is one where the content already exists in print. We designed the interface of this CMS site to accommodate our clients' varied line of garments to be universal while allowing the comprehensive array of sizes, styles, and colors.

We needed to create a unique look and keep the entire content area within a specific height. The color and design of the layout was intended to suggest a female shape without being literal or cliche. The target audience was dual purpose, mostly trade but also intended to create awareness among consumers.

Green Design Expo LLC

web design examples, graphic design portfolio websites

Green Design Expo LLC is a sign of the times. For people that want to find the latest, best, and most effective solutions for green living and green building, GDE is a fantastic resource. We are definitely fans of alternative energy sources and through companies like GDE, realize how beautiful some of the green products can be. There is a great fusion of design, practicality, and consideration for the materials used.

The site is a Drupal site, of course- most of our sites now are Drupal CMS. We built in a custom region for the home page to display upcoming events that are mostly hosted in the store and occasional lectures or demonstrations in the community. We have put an E-News function in place allowing GDE staff to send out announcements easily through their site. There will be much information coming from this site so RSS feeds will serve them well as most of the staff will be blogging for the site.

The theme is actually built using actual transparent PNG files, layered to create the incredible depth of color and feeling of space. The website does achieve the primary goal, portraying the store quite accurately, as was the wish of our client. The intent was to present the company's services and products in a contemporary and intelligent light.

Patient Wear provides innovative garments for patients with limited range of motion and other conditions requiring partial removal. 

A Drupal framework supports the presentation and e-commerce allowing visitors to learn about and purchase these incredible garments.

Knowing Science

Website Design in Saint Augustine FL

Knowing Science is a new science curriculum for Pre-Kindergarten through Second grade students. Designed for the classroom or homeschooling scenarios.

We had the great fortune of being selected to develop illustrations and the eventual website for this new science curriculum that teaches science standards at the earliest levels of education. We love science and technology and we're all for better education for everyone, a win-win situation.

The site uses Drupal CMS to provide flexible content creation, editing, and management. The e-commerce engine is provided by Ubercart, which we feel is one of the most streamlined and efficient shopping cart experiences. The look and feel of the site was intended to be clean and uncluttered leaving focus directly on the subject and not the site itself.

We got them started online. Visit the site online at knowingscience.com

What else would you expect for a space planning expert? It is an ongoing challenge to portray the level of expertise and committment from a company through a two dimensional website.The portfolio page is a highlight with expanded use of Lightbox to allow close-up views of plans.Visit the site at www.ArcomSpacePlanning.com

Historic Hudson River Towns

Historic Hudson River Towns

Historic Hudson River Towns website was a redesign and retrofitted using Drupal as a CMS. The site got a major face lift with the existing content transferred over for a smooth transition. We added our SEO to this site to boost the positions in the search engine results.
Although the site gets many visitors, the look and feel was in need of an update and some added elements to make it more search friendly such as a blog, RSS feeds, and a contact form.

Yonkers Public Library

Yonkers Public Library

The Yonkers Public Library website was recently published after we redesigned the site with a fresh new interface and a rebuilt architecture to make it a content management system (CMS). As one of the member libraries of the Westchester Library System, they had seen how we transformed the WLS site into a user-friendly site with freshly updated content and many nice features.

YPL holds almost the same exact content as before but the delivery and presentation has been improved to current standards and should be a useful, productive site for some time to come. The structure of the site is modular like most we design and built so additions and expansion will be likely. That will be a huge benefit to the YPL and its membership.

COAST Water Control Products

St. Augustine Website Design | GO2 Media Design

COAST began for us in 2003 when we designed a logo for the H2O Guard company. We created illustrations of the products as part of the overall packaging. The company purchased COAST manufacturing and foundary in 2008 and H2O Guard products were adopted into the product. The COAST name was retained and is now COAST Water Control Products.

H2O Guard and GX3 (Green times three) are product brand identities we have designed along with the new COAST logo. The new COAST website is also online now with plans to be built out to contain product, instructions, news, environmental interests, green friendly resources, and other related information.

The Bird & Bottle Inn

The Bird & Bottle Inn

One of the Hudson Valley's well known fine dining and unique lodging experiences is now well represented in this newly released website. The Bird & Bottle Inn located in Garrison, New York is only a few miles north of northern Westchester county. Once known as Warren's Tavern, it has been there since 1761, operating in the colonial days.

Our assignment was to accurately portray the warm and welcome atmosphere visitors experience when they enter the historic inn. We provided a CMS application that allows events, press releases, menus, and other content to be added, organized, and edited simply and easily by the Bird & Bottle staff. In addition to the design and development of the site, we also provided location photography. 

We worked in collaboration with The Gold Standard who provided writing, photography, and direction on overall navigation and page flow.

Mesko Associates - Sandsac

Mesko Associates - Sandsac

We were called upon by Mesko Associates, LLC., to design a package wrapper for their popular SandSac® sand pail and to create a website for the product.

We produced a CMS website and created a simple method of e-commerce using PayPal. The site is a showcase for the eco-friendly and fun, multi-use canvas pail showing video clips, and allowing visitors to purchase SandSac online.

Harrick Scientific Products

Harrick Scientific Products

The website for Harrick Scientific Products was designed and built by GO2 Media Design. This site is actually a redesign of an existing site that needed an upgrade to the navigation and presentation of the product catalog.There was also a need to simplify editing and organization of the content. We used Drupal as CMS and employed the taxonomy to categorize the entire product list. This site was a challenge due to the unique nature of specific products while attempting to find common ground. Each product has various separate elements associated with it including data sheets, application specs, and tables of related accessories. Look for yourself to fully understand the complex nature of these products.

Babyface Interactive

Babyface Interactive

Our good friend and "ace" programmer, developer, and technological counsel is also the founder of Babyface Interactive. We have been working together with John Scilipote since 2006 and have collaborated on many projects.

We were given the opportunity to design a logo, and redesign BabyfaceInteractive.com. We were happy to help provide a fresh look and help present the services from one of the best programmers we've ever known.

Centec Solutions

Centec Solutions

Centec Solutions is an interesting website because of how it is used by its owners. It is an online catalog that gives them the capability to print any portion of that catalog or deliver as a multi-page PDF document, tailored specifically to individual clients. That is very flexible. They also create their own new pages in minutes. That is also pennies on the dollar compared to printing a 24 or 32 or 48 page catalog with 140+ products.
Centec owners came to us for some traditional catalog design and we had a different solution. We could have certainly designed and printed a catalog, but they really only wanted a relatively small number with a growing number of parts in the future. We suggested building their catalog within the CMS website and focusing on the printer-friendly aspect of the pages where would create a stylized look that would be a worthy substitute to the traditional printed book. 
So it's "green" friendly twice-- Less $$$ and less paper. That's a win/win/win situation.  (client/environment/us) ;-)

All Fired Up!

All Fired Up! A celebration of Clay in Westchester County New York

We had the great pleasure of designing and developing this website for the county-wide group art exhibit. Provided with a style guide, we went to work with logos, typography, and a color palette to create the finished website.

We worked with the WAC staff to adjust and edit the layouts and CMS admin to fine tune the site. We had the challenge of arranging a variety of content and keep it streamlined and manageable.

The success of the site was widespread and recently awarded a Big W from the Advertising Club of Westchester for Interactive Media: Non-Profit Website. We are fortunate to work with great people, well designed content, and recognition from our peers.

Page Integrity, Inc.

Page Integrity Website

Cathleen Page and Page Integrity, Inc. are strategic partners with GO2 Media Design, and we wholeheartedly advise anyone with a need for IT prowess and network, workflow, or workspace planning and organization, to call them today. The PI site is a fast reading showcase site to give a well organized comprehensive view of services and capabilities. Like the name says, they have great integrity so you can rely on them when it counts.

We lead off on the home page with the concept that just because you need technical assistance, you don't necessarily want a robot to deliver it. There are actually IT folks that are capable of understanding the business needs and concerns you may have. In other words, a geek squad sans geeks.

We were happy to hear that this was one of eleven websites that won a Big W award for 2009.

Pelham Realty

Pelham Realty

We were sought out by Pelham Realty, Inc., to provide advice and expertise on SEO. We created a family of CMS websites to take full advantage of the separate types of realty handled by the broker. Each site is a fully optimized, complete website with all content specific to the Real Estate being presented.

The sites, seven in total, share only minimal content between them. Some list properties specific to Pelham Realty exclusively while all of them list MLS listings. Each site is a separate CMS so there is a way for our clients to update as often as they wish.

The sites are found easily in searches for real estate throughout Westchester county and its communities. If you are in the market for single or multiple family homes, apartments, acreage, commercial warehouse space, or a storefront, take a look on the web and you'll surely find one of the Pelham sites.

Mohegan Metalworks

Mohegan Metalworks

This website shows an incredible depth of product offering from Mohegan Metalworks. GO2 was hired to actually build a site to take the place of an existing, well-designed, well optimized site, that simply needed to be brought up to date as a CMS with some Web 2.0 standards. In addition, we were asked to design a logo and the interface for the new site.Visit the site online

Hemlock Hill Farm

Expert Website Design Jacksonville FL

Hemlock Hill Farm came to us for a website they could keep current and update themselves. We said, "Drupal". We say that a lot these days and why not, it is the absolute best open source CMS we've seen.

What we have mastered is theming each Drupal website we design and build with a unique look and feel. We have built many of these CMS sites in 2008 and 2009 and plan to continue. In addition to global support and the Drupal community, we have clients that tell us how much they love it, and how simple it is to edit and add to their websites.

This site was awarded a Gold Big W from the Advertising Club of Westchester in 2009, it is one of our best sites. It's no coincidence our principal "GO2" guy was an agriculture student back in the day. Our client tells us that, "the website has changed the way we do business". We can listen to compliments like that 'til the cows come  home...

The Peekskill Arts Council

The Peekskill Arts Council

We relaunched the PAC website in the spring of 2010 after two years with one of our very first Drupal® CMS websites. In the 24+ months from the initial launch, we had learned so much, and had developed so many custom applications, we had to bring the site up to date and give those members a great new profile page in which they could publish their own bio's, upload images and have the site resize automatically, and also post their own events. 
We are quite pleased with the result and have since realized how many other arts organizations could benefit from a website similar to this one. Our Online Community Sites were created to give those organizations, clubs, and galleries, an incredible Content Management System (CMS) that allows them to provide individual artist profile pages, lists of artists on the site, and even taxonomy to categorize by medium. There is also the ability to keep memberships counted and paid for with additional e-commerce. We have an affordable entry-level package if you are an organization and are interested in offering something incredible to your members with a way to generate revenue.

Westchester Library System

Westchester Library System

The Westchester Library System supports 38 libraries in communities throughout the county. The site is a resource that expands and changes constantly with contributions from those 38 member libraries and the WLS staff. We were given the task of building this site around a Content Management System that would support the incredible amount of information that is organized under one site.

In addition to the CMS architecture and administrative tools, and the interface design, there were five databases reassembled and integrated under the WLS branded site. Recursos is a spanish language database that was taken from a series of static HTML pages to an MySQL database and administrative control panel to ease additions and maintenance.

Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP)

Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors

We learn on the job every day. We often take on subjects we are not completely familiar with so we have to learn fast in order to present them effectively. In 2005, we were asked to redesign the AEESP website, mainly to provide a look and feel and develop style sheets. Our successful redesign now brings close to 400 visitors a day from around the world.Our most recent addition was to retrofit a CMS so the membership may post articles, jobs, and news directly to the site, pay online, and give one central admin control over the entire flow. The editing capabilities are simple, direct, and most clients find it rather easy to use. The ability to edit and manage content tends to make the site more current, and that makes the site more attractive to search engines.Visit the site online
