Are you Drupalish Enough?

19 Mar 2012

We are a small web development studio in Singapore but we are getting jobs faster than we can deliver them, so we are forced to grow, which is a good problem. We use Drupal extensively 100%, so naturally, we need a Drupal person.

If you have good experiences building websites on Drupal; particularly, solid understanding of following modules:

  1. Views
  2. Panels
  3. Flag
  4. Domain
  5. Workbench

Most of all: DRUPAL 7! We strongly encourage you to be in touch with us.

One more thing!

This is a full time position (3 months probational period) and you must be already located in Singapore or have relevant residential permit. Salary commensurable with your level of Drupal skill. Just so you know, we know our stuff very well, therefore we can easily tell how much you know. So if you are thinking of smoking your way through, you will need a lot of luck ;)

Omega 978.gs Starterkit Theme

11 Feb 2012

The popularity of 978.gs has made designers favor their design with larger gutter space over those provided by 960.gs which is used primarily in the Omega theme.

With our own designers using the 978 grids and some demands from other designers, we have thus ported the 978.gs into the Omega theme, as a starter kit, replacing the default grid values with those in 978 for normal, 748 for narrow and 1218 for wide.

This is still heavily in testing but feel free to clone a copy and try it out. Do note the theme works only for Drupal 7, base on the HTML5 starterkit.

How to use this theme

  1. Clone this git repository, place the entire folder in the sites/all/themes folder.
  2. Activate the theme in your Drupal installation
