Automating all the things - 24 ideas for things you can automate with your website
Last December I wrote up 24 specific things we've automated on Drupal, and published them as an Advent Calender -- one little nugget each day.

Unleashing the power of ECA: No-code coding for ambitious site builders
Last year I gave a presentation at DrupalCon about automating things using the powerful ECA Module. Here's the recording!

Ask Freelock: ECA vs Rules
Yesterday a client asked us to install Rules module (again, repeating an earlier request, when he had missed my answer that we had installed ECA instead).
Automatically track documentation requirements
One of our clients is a yacht club that has their own moorage, which they lease out to members. With several hundred slips, their insurance requires them to maintain proof of insurance, up-to-date vessel registrations, and regular electrical inspections for all boats moored at their facility.
In Washington all vessel registrations renew in June, but insurance and inspections can expire any time of year. The office needs to keep copies of these documents on file.
Automatically send notifications to Matrix
When you work on a team, it's useful to have notifications go to a chat room where you can coordinate any necessary action. Reviewing a comment before publishing, seeing stories as they are written, getting notified of new orders are the kinds of things we like having in a shared room.
Freelock Guarantee
Freelock prides itself on the quality of the work, and builds sites with maintainability over the long haul in mind. For fixed-price work, we guarantee that it will work as described for the long term. If anything delivered in an agreed fixed-price project breaks based on normal updates within the first year after it has been released, we will fix it at no extra charge. If we are unable to deliver the work described within an agreed fixed-price project, we will refund any up-front payment or apply it to a modified project we can deliver.

We appreciate someone who has attention to detail, problem solving skills, and those that are always looking ahead to the new trends.
