Open source web.ca offers custom web applications for Business, Art, and Community. The goal is to create a site that will both create a new context for your clients to interact with you, and give you the ability to reach a larger audience. With the drupal platform, anything is possible, and best of all, you get to manage your custom-made content. The tools of the modern web allow presentation of your content with finesse.
Below are examples of recent work. The slider will pause if you hover your mouse on it.
Please forgive this section, along with many parts of this site. I made it when I was new to jQuery, and wanted to use lots of it on my site. jQuery is pretty, but can cause conflicts if not applied carefully. I promise to clean up this site for speed and layout when I get some time. It's an old story, that the Painter's house is cracked, the Landscaper's yard is a mess, and the Church has no foundation. I have temporarily removed the Gallery section, as there was so much javascript that it was crashing some browsers. Please help the Internet and stop using Internet Explorer.
The best part about drupal is that it can be tailored to your personal needs, and allow you to manage your own site, without a web admin. You can back up and restore your system, and manage your own content. Learn about the power of Drupal, and how it rocks all types of content here. The special effects on this site are made possible by jQuery, the swooshiest platform on the whole internet. Notice the swooshy lava menu bar up top, and the super swooshy link dock and social networking at the bottom of the pages.. I know, I said 'swooshy' twice. There's more and upcoming in the Gallery section.
Drupal is an exceptional platform for developers and end users. It can be seen in the history of such high-profile websites as Yahoo! Research, Warner Bros main website, Macy Gray, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Amnesty International, Universal Music, Greenpeace, Oxfam, Ubuntu, and the White house. Why are they using drupal? It's simple. Because drupal is scalable, secure, robust, and flexible. The Views 2 module, combined with the Panels module make data presentation and layout entirely flexible. Flash and media types are fully supported, as well as tools for Social Networking, Search Engine Optimisation, secure commerce, and complex permission based user systems. Open source web is proud to be part of a development team that assesses both the needs of clients, and the needs of the community.
One of my favourite things ever to come out of jQuery is the hover menu below:
