One of our smaller sites, journalistcomplaints.com was featured on crickey.com.au as part of their 'New kid on the block' series.

This is great exposure for a small site aiming to give a voice to those who're unhappy with the treatment by the media or single out a journalist who has shown exemplary conduct.

Rowlands Group has started work on writing a module to allow nodes to be displayed/formatted as a book - adapting Google's 20 Things I learned about the web and browsers to Drupal.
The original site is powered by html5 and Google's app engine (with a basic CMS), our client wishes to use this fetching way of displaying content to display nodes in a book format.

We'll be porting it to both a views row style and a node reference field formatter.

Get in touch if you're interested in following this project's development.

RowlandsGroup.com relaunched on Drupal 7

admin — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 06:01:42 +0000

Seeing as though Drupal 7 is nearly 1 year old and we've worked on a large number of Drupal 7 sites during 2011, we though the Xmas break was the ideal opportunity to redesign and relaunch our site on Drupal 7.

We hope you like the new look. Keep on eye on our articles, in the coming months we'll write a bit about some of the features of the site and in particular the upgrade process - which we did using Drush in order to contrast the process with other upgrades we've done using Aegir.
