All right, this is a bit meta, but FeidtDesign.com is definitely a project!

BouncerFighter.com - a pretty straightforward Drupal 6 band website. Bouncer Fighter is a Minneapolis band, friends of mine and a lot of fun to watch.

The site features an events calendar, organized links, embedded videos with thumbnails, and a randomized image bar. It also has a Facebook inline JavaScript fan box and uses Socialite module to present social network links nicely. Pretty straightforward CCK fields including emfield and link.

MyRapidReport.com is my first full project under the Feidt Design flag. It's a project of TheUptake.org and The Media Consortium. I developed a custom Drupal 6 module for directly uploading video clips from the client browser to YouTube without a login.

MN Paid Sick Days Coalition

The Minnesota Paid Sick Days Coalition (PaidsickdaysMN.com) was a fun project; the goal was to make a straightforward presentation of the social and economic benefits of paid sick days in Minnesota. I decided to step things up with Scribd and iPaper module to serve up presentation of PDFs -- after all, everyone hates downloading PDFs to look at 'em.

Another important feature was using Webform to handle forms for stories of Minnesotans' health/workplace problems. Also has the Facebook/Twitter integration de rigeur.

DanPowers.org - Dan Powers, DFLer for MN's 2nd Congressional District

DanPowers.org, a FEC-compatible federal congressional campaign website advocating DFLer Dan Powers (in Minnesota we call Democrats DFLers, for Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party). It was a collaborative project with a few other folks and turned out nicely, in part due to a great template I built from. This was done using the Fusion theme, which I've become a huge fan of. The Facebook/Twitter look is nice, and it was helpful that Facebook FanBox' blue trim matches the site's blue color scheme.

It's got a nice events calendar, a standard blog page, and a front page using Panels/Ctools, which I really enjoyed. I liked the font [two main fonts, actually] as well -- it led me into looking up which fonts are really available for use on Interwebs nowadays. Powers' opponent, Republican US Rep. John Kline, is deeply uncool on many levels, so it was fun for me to get a site out there against him!

MidwestBankruptcy.com - Midwest Bankruptcy of North St. Paul "by the Snowman"

With a Snowman favicon win, MidwestBankruptcy.com is a site for recruiting bankruptcy cases for my friend Nathan Hansen, whose law firm / "DEBT RELIEF AGENCY" (which is legally required to be pasted on these sites!) in North St. Paul liberates people from banksters & creditors. Fishing people out of the crushing debt traps of our day is a serious task, full of strange rules, so the goal was a site easy to edit and useful for people looking for info on bankruptcy.

Getting a sense of trust is important in a business site, so the Socialite module, which streamlines adding Facebook/Twitter/Avvo (a lawyer rating service) easily to a sidebar block, lets visitors easily check out the blog. Also used iPaper/Scribd to show PDFs.
Another cool module was rounded edges in the primary menu via jQuery. jQuery/rounded corners didn't seem compatible with centering the menu tho.
