Have you heard of Futurelab?

Have now. Lesson 1, done!

They [heart] new eLearning tools.

Lesson 2 finito’.

Thought Den just released their spanking new site.

Lesson 3 wrapped.

That wasn’t too bad right! See we don’t just do playful learning tools and workshops, we make sites with the educators too.

Here’s some nice screen shots from the work or go view the site.

Now for extra marks please memorise below and wonder how your site would look if we made yours…

eCommerce

All their products are online now and the site has a special eCommerce basket

“Wow that’s easy to use!”

We used the award winning open source… Drupal CMS to quickly build the charity’s new website. Dear god it’s easy for them to use.

Clever user accounts

Clever user accounts. Futurelab Staff can only edit manage what content they need too, so no more “bloggers accidentally deleting the frontpage”.

Dynamic Front Page.

They can write what ever they want in the Hero Box, depends what they need to sell at the time

 

HTML5!

It’s new and here to stay. Thought Den were one of the first commercial companies to be flying the Drupal flag for HTML5. Yay to future and yay to better SEO

Deep Information search

It searches EVERYTHING. Really it does, so no product is left unfound. We even built them a widget which searches their previous site just in-case anything’s missed.

Facet Search

A bit like the powerful eCommerce site eBay and Play.com, you pick a category and it filters your results.

Now what were the three things you had to remember at the beginning…?

There’s been a lot happening over here at Thought Den towers recently.

New offices, more desks, new work and most most most importantly (to Dan)… a new kick ass mofo of a cloud hosting server.

That’s right, as technical director, I care enough about servers to write a blog post about it. “Yaaaaawn” I hear you e-mail, “I don’t care, how much nippy’er your Drupal sites are, how much faster my flash game loads and how blindingly fast your web apps will be now. Big YAWN”.

Then that’s cool.

Just over the next week don’t ask me about the Rackspace cloud sites package we’ve got.

– Excited geek Dan, over and out –
