The Solution
StudioTwenty7, being a team of graphic gurus and very much knowing what they wanted the website to look like, liaised with the Qdos Web team closely. Ensuring, with our advice, that designs could work responsively and altering them as such, if need be. Using the Drupal CMS platform, we built pages that the client could choose from a series of paragraph styles to populate the pages as they wished.
A taxonomy of categories, products & colours allowed for bespoke filters to be created, for a multitude of options to search though and ensuring that the spectrum of colours in the portfolio images could be achieved. All these values are entered through available fields within the page edits for client control.
Quality of images was achieved through a mix of advice to the client (who are well versed in the world of digital resolution) and the setting up of Drupal image styles, ensuring that images stay sharp at all screen sizes without being over sized and slowing down page load times.
A series of page content types was also created. Giving the client an easy to navigate way of building different types of content, whether, service, product, news or portfolio... swiftly, by populating fields and giving consistency to the website design.
A full tutorial was given on how to use the Drupal CMS to the team at StudioTwenty7 and on-going Qdos Web Team support is always at hand whenever they require help or advice.
