BTR Direct: DVD eCommerce site

In April 2009 I began working on a new eCommerce site for BTR Direct, working freelance for White Hat Media.

This site does a lot of very clever things behinds the scenes which required me to write some custom Drupal modules. Each night we transfer an XML archive containing all the new and updated content for the site. We import and update around 3,000 products in this XML feed.

Then we run the Apache Solr search indexer on all this new content.

Toshiba : Laptops We Love : Matt Terry

Toshiba approached White Hat Media because they were interested in producing a competition website. Users would upload videos and photos for the chance to win £3000 worth of Toshiba products; TV, camcorder, laptops and so on.

William Carter is an incredible photographer from London. When asked to get involved in creating a webshop to sell exclusive signed prints of his work I jumped at the task.

At the time I had already been working on the morphic creations webshop and wanted to use a similar system to run this site. So I built a custom Drupal site with an Ubercart webshop.

The site is fully functional and almost ready to go live.

FlameOz are incredible fire and pyrotechnics performers. They needed to update their old site and approached me with the project.

This was a fun project to work on, I worked closely with Joe Plant - I designed the layouts and built the drupal site while he did an amazing job on the graphics.

Calvos is a beautiful stilt walking act.

This site is built alongside the FlameOz and Halo sites. It was a technically difficult drupal build which make good use of the Drupal Domain module.

There's a lot going on with these sites, videos that all play on iPhones an Androids, jQuery slideshows, jQuery tabs and so on.

Joe Plant did all the artwork for this one as well.

Halo is a high tech glow show and the third site in the group.

Wrote a surprising amount of custom Drupal Module code and built the custom Drupal Theme. The theming works nicely because I made a base theme which the 3 sites share, then each site has it's own theme which can override the base settings. The base theme is built on top of Drupal Zen theme. It worked out really well.
