Alexander on Web Development

The [Interaction Design Association](http://http://www.ixda.org/ "Interaction Design Association") or IXDA for short, is a professional network of more than 15,000 members and 80 local groups around the world. IXDA was founded in 2003 and provides an online forum for the discussion of interaction design issues. Their redesign was performed by [Growing Venture Solutions](http://growingventuresolutions.com/ "Growing Venture Solutions Web site"), one of United States most respected Drupal consulting firms.

After a more than a couple 24 hour coding marathons today I am very proud to announce that Dialogo Digital (http://dialogodigital.com, #EditoresDialogo) launched it's redesign to the public. The modern design was conceived and created by web designer Joel Martínez of String Puerto Rico (http://stringpr.com/) in late September 2009. It took me around 8 weeks to convert Joel's standards compliant XHTML into a full Drupal theme.

Three main templates were developed: one for the front page, one for the news sections, and one for the news articles.

PG Engineering Solutions (http://pges.net), a Puerto Rico based Engineering firm in charge of developing projects such as the San Juan, Puerto Rico Urban Train is now using Drupal for it's web site.

I built this site in only one week using a vanilla Drupal 6 distribution (http://drupal.org/drupal-6.15). A premium theme from TopNotchThemes (http://www.topnotchthemes.com) was used in order to reduce both development time and cost.
