Our Portfolio

Freelock Computing uses Open Source technologies and principles to create dynamic websites featuring easy-to-use interfaces that allow clients to update their own content. We specialize in Drupal and can help create a website that exceed your organizational needs -- whether you're looking for a basic, informational site, an online store, or a collaborative community, we can get it up and running at a reasonable price.

I-TECH

The International Training and Education Center for Health (I-TECH), a non-profit collaboration between the University of Washington and the University of California, San Francisco, came to Freelock for help building an internal system to improve collaboration and communication within their organization. With a headquarters in Seattle and teams spread across the rest of the world working diligently to improve the development of skilled medical workers and health delivery systems an online based intranet is a perfect solution.

We built a system using a heavily customized Open Atrium installation that features separate, private spaces for each country's program. These spaces provide a central location for every level of the program's operation from overall yearly goals down to an individual user's daily tasks.

Alaska Fishing Jobs Center

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!

West Seattle Family Zone

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.

Cool Day Trips

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.

Maltby Produce Markets, CSA

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.

Bellingham School District

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.

Littlestar Prints

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.

TerraBella Flowers - Organic Florist in Seattle

TerraBella Flowers & Mercantile specializes in European garden-style designs, using an assortment of local, organic, and sustainably grown flowers and is based in the Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. A longtime customer, we have seen the highs and lows of this site.

Customer Feedback

I recommend you use Linux for your server(s). Mine are so reliable, it shocked me that after years of Microsoft-based expectations, I have no complaints now after many many years experience with Linux servers supporting a mixed Win2K and Apple OSX workstation network. Freelock has really opened my eyes to what I should be expecting from enterprise software. Linux is simply much better than anything Microsoft has done, and even on Microsoft's best day, Microsoft is too expensive, too proprietary and too unreliable. There is just no reason to keep putting ourself through that grief, constant change, and endless high cost.
