Hey! I thought I would highlight some of my recent freelance web work. My latest project was done for the guys over at The Roofing Dog website. I’ve known Cory, the owner/operator, and his crew for quite a long time and they are a great bunch of guys. I actually came to know Cory when I went to work for him years ago. I was finishing up school and through some friends I got hooked up with Cory. He was great to work for and we’ve been friends ever since.
Well, since those early beginnings, things have changed significantly for both Cory and myself. The Roofing Dog business has expanded greatly and continues to do so every year….because they do AWESOME work!
As for myself, I’ve since went on to complete my Bachelor’s degree and I have a great job as a web specialist; plus some freelance web work. I like to think I do great work also!
Enough history…Obviously, as the web has grown, so have businesses and their needs to stay on top of the web game. I mean, seriously, how many great companies don’t have a website these days? And a good website at that?
The Roofing Dog parternered with Willard Web Design to create a drupal-based website for the 3rd version of the company’s website (Another history lesson: Willard Web Design was also a part of the 2nd version of the site several years ago).
Here is a screenshot of the current homepage (click for larger image) or just go to the site.
The site theme is a modified version of an existing and freely available drupal theme. We really wanted to create our own look without reinventing the wheel for our first drupal deployment with The Roofing Dog website.
Fortunately, the next time we want to revamp the look, the drupal backbone is already in place and we’ll have time in the schedule to tackle our own completely custom theme. This project scope was already full of changing the existing look as well as transitioning the old site into the lovely drupal cms. Time for a completely custom theme just wasn’t in the cards this time around, but the way website life cycles run; we’ll get our chance soon enough!
Well, we just released the site this week, and we will be tweaking it over the coming weeks as we continue to flex all of drupal’s muscle.
Take and peek and let us know what you think…
