Wim Mostrey Engaging Drupal

Donna, a popular radio station by VRT, relaunched in Drupal yesterday. The new site revolves around bringing music to the community and involving them as much as possible. There's the "most frequently played" list where you can listen to the songs, look up information about each artist and add them to your favorites list, make friends and PM them, create blogposts about your favorite new album, browse through the media archive, ...

The hardest part was bringing all this interactivity and presenting as much related information on each page a) without losing usability and keeping it a user-friendly experience and b) maintaining clean and structured code with as few modules as possible (but not fewer). I have the feeling we achieved in both goals and looking at the first reactions it looks the members agree (phew).

I would like to thank Davy Van Den Bremt and Brecht Commeine for bringing out the best of both me and themselves each and every day. Working with you has been an exhilarating experience throughout. You guys rock!
