Theming

Scott Coughlin, a 24-season veteran of Alaska's salmon, herring and halibut fisheries, came to Freelock for help getting his site done. We picked up the pieces of the development project, yet again, and implemented the design, functionality, and enhancements in record time. As part of this site, Ubercart was used for purchasing memberships to the site. A clean crisp design highlights the user profiles for job seekers in the fishing industry.

Scott is now rolling on his next project with Freelock. Check back for details!

The folks at WSFZ needed a directory-based website that was easy to maintain and easy to use. Catering to the families of this popular Seattle-area neighborhood, West Seattle, WSFZ wanted a clean, simple design that allows for blogging, reader comments, and advertising. The site includes pre-schools, daycares, doulas, and other family-related resources.

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.

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.

For the Bellingham School District, Freelock put together a large Drupal site for the main district site, and as a base to build out individual school sites in the future. In addition to creating custom department menu functionality and directory lookups, Freelock provided extensive training material, ongoing consulting, and importing of several thousand pages of content previously managed using Dreamweaver.

Another large scale project by Freelock Computing, the Organic Materials Research Institute tested our abilities to work with a variety of sources and the Drupal system. The project brought their old public facing website built on PHP to the Drupal CMS and is still synced nightly with their internal master database built on Access.

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.

WestSide Baby, in partnership with the Puget Sound community, provides essential items to local children in need by collecting and distributing diapers, clothing, toys and equipment. They partner with established social service providers who assess the needs of their clients, place orders with us and then deliver them to the families they serve.

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.
