Rainforest Foundation

Request

Redesigned, updated, and maintained websites for Sting’s Rainforest Foundation.

Solution

A colleague at Sony Music connected me with the wonderful people at Sting’s Rainforest Foundation in NYC.

The initial request was to migrate their Drupal 5 site to Drupal 6. Due to the extensive changes required by the upgrade, a complete site redesign was also necessary.

My contributions included

• wire-framing the flow of the site
• developing an upgrade path from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6
• designing and theming the front end
• writing custom modules to provide tailored functionality
• upgrading the servers to support the new platform
• preserving the original Drupal 5 site for archival purposes
• training staff on how to add and manage content
• and maintaining the sites for several years

This project was a rewarding opportunity to modernize a meaningful organization’s web presence while providing tools for their continued success.
