Written by crystal @ Sunday, 06 July 2008

Launched this week is Ben McMillan Photography! Is it minimal? Yes. Does it use Flash? No! We used jQuery and the UI libraries along side Wordpress & NextGen gallery plugin to provide a really smooth gallery website. A lot of the time you can have a flash website but then suffer an management nightmare trying to get flash to talk to databases or files. Thanks to awesome (and Open Source) javascript frameworks like jQuery and the versatility of Wordpress which make this possible.

Meiriyici Launched

Written by crystal @ Sunday, 06 July 2008

Before the Olympics we have started something new - www.meiriyici.com . It's an aim to not only provide an easy way for Chinese to learn an English word a day, but also a way to involve Open Source tools like Drupal to produce a Chinese only web site with a bilingual administration interface. A lot of the modules written for social networking remain in a single language and do not deal with the challenges associated with Chinese.

Meiriyici will continue to grow thanks to the collaboration of our Dutch and Bulgarian partners who provide endless energy and ideas to help improve the website. We're happy to hear some feedback, as we have a lot of ideas to be integrated in the coming weeks so watch this space!

Premier Beijing kids & family magazine tbjkids is undergoing a facelift here at Crystal. A strong emphasis on UI has forged a beautiful & solid design which will be impressing the socks off readers and web surfers soon. It is another Drupal site which is always welcome here at Crystal. Drupal is a extremely powerful and flexible CMS that allows complicated linking of content required by such Magazine & Editorial websites. It also contains a powerful set of social networking modules and theme system.

A little sample of things to come:
