Working with Sparks Interactive, I assisted in the site architecture for the New Zealand Life and Leisure Magazine portal site. This involved creating an archive and browse system for publication releases and regular columns.

We built the site on the Drupal CMS, with several customizations to support the special requirements. The site provides article summaries and advertisements for upcoming features. We started off with a good number of past issues, which we imported several back articles each from, giving the site a rich backlog of content at release time.

Features

• A Classified contact directory.
• Competition entry forms.
• Article archives, browsable by issue or department.
• Designer typography, using sIFR headline replacements.

My role in this project was mainly supportive - sharpshooting Drupal-specific modifications and structuring the navigation/archive/update issues.
