Robinson Papers hired us to build a centrally-managed web site with different personalities for each of their papers but shared control.

We built out a sophisticated system in Drupal, with extensive workflow rules, roles for freelancers, writers, editors, and publishers, and the ability to share or republish content between the various editions. We also imported over 10,000 articles from their previous host, built custom themes for each paper, and created a training video for them to use with their staff.

Freelock was approached to build a website focused on the “Top 50” Day Trips from Seattle, based on rankings and reviews from users. Cooldaytrips.com includes a description of each destination, photos, driving distances, accommodation, restaurants and activities. For those wishing to stay longer than a day, the site also includes recommendations on Extended Trips.  It’s an extremely useful resource for those planning a trip in the the Pacific Northwest and Washington State.

RadioFrame Networks came to Freelock in late 2008 for a web development project aimed at bringing their existing corporate static site content into the Joomla CMS. We worked with their existing design and web marketing strategy provided by The Garrigan Lyman Group which included implementing the design, setting up the content structure, and hosting the site as well as a development version of the site.

Unfortunately, the site never went live as RadioFrame Networks became a casualty of the global recession before the website launched.

The Olympic Peninsula Tourism Board came to us in early 2009 to assist them in developing a visually stunning and highly functional website in a Content Management System. The site needed to be flexible enough to be managed by the 12 partners of the OPTC represented by local Chamber of Commerces. This meant the system needed to not only be able of handling complex permissions, but also easy to use and train new members. That being said, we recommended the use Drupal because of it highly flexible theme capabilities and content management superiority over platforms such as Joomla. 

Our friends at Flower World came back to us for their latest project, Maltby Produce Markets CSA. Maltby Produce Markets grow a wide variety of fruits and vegetables in their fields, orchards, and greenhouses in Snohomish County. MPMcsa partners with other local growers and producers to bring the best food from the Cascadia bio-region. Freelock provided complete Ubercart integration, order & customer management, customized reports, and automated schedule publishing for weekly produce boxes.

Littlestar Prints is one of our favorite sites. It combines some powerful drag-and-drop photo editing in the browser with e-commerce. We got to use both of our favorite software packages--Drupal and the Dojo Toolkit.

With Littlestar Prints, customers can upload photos from their desktop, zoom, resize, crop, and do some color changes before embedding them into beautiful professionally-designed cards.
