For node & user reference fields, this is the Drupal 7 replacement of the Node Reference & User Reference field modules in Drupal 6. It's a very handy module for relating content to other content or user accounts.

Views
A must-have module. This is the reason why you are using Drupal. Views 3 is even more awesome than 2.0. I really like the updated workflow.

Webform
A must-have module for every site. Often used for contact forms and has all kinds of useful functionality.

Wysiwyg
Simply a great module for adding a wysiwyg to your site. Gives developers a lot of options and integrates with several of the leading javascript wysiwyg libraries.

The goal is to redesign and develop a new site using Drupal and switching from ASP.NET with SSO to all systems within the site. The site was built with HTML5 and it supports multilingual.

About the project

One of the main objectives for the project was to give FrontRange website a unique look and feel. It was understood that this website should be of highest quality in terms of design and execution. Care was given to apply the best business practices and web 2.0 methodologies to function and design. The site should make an impression on visitors that works to create brand recognition and awareness after the user leaves the site. Magic Logix developed this website according to 1185 Design design files and recommendation. We migrated all existing content from the current site into the new website.

We had analyzed the current setup for frontrange.com and the CMS behind it. We understood that the current Ektron CMS has been integrated with different third parties products in addition to other internal products which mainly were .NET based.

Deliverables include:
• Fully functional website based on Drupal 7.12 CMS
• SEO Friendly URLs
• W3C Compliant
• HTML5 template based
• Mobile Friendly
• CMS that support Frontrange’s current 3rd party tools keeping the same technology
• Non-flash based animation

Why Drupal was chosen

The content management solution that we propose for the Client website is Drupal. Drupal is widely popular because it provides a low cost and high value solution to manage and grow internet presence. Drupal is a CMS that will facilitate the publishing, managing and organizing of a wide variety of content on the Client website. Many organizations are using Drupal to run a wide variety of sites because the system is not just powerful, flexible, user-friendly and search engine-friendly, but it is also open source. With this platform, your system will never stagnate; it will continue to get better.
The system enables Client to manage their own website content. In the pre-configured CMS environment, the Client staff can build web pages and add photographs or content without having to learn a programming language like HTML or PHP. This is already a major advantage, but here are several more:
Modular structure and flexibility
Open source
User-friendly
Powerful and scalable
Search engine friendly
Advanced URL control
Custom content types and views
Revision control
Taxonomy
Customized user management
Custom controlled HTML elements and meta tags
Excellent documentation
Default PHP template theme
Customized features
Large and friendly community
