Drupal, one of the leading Open Source platforms for creating and managing dynamic web sites, has helped spark a revolution in schools and non-profits like no other. Capabilities once reserved for the Enterprise market are now attainable by even the smallest organizations. Schoolyard's mission is providing those capabilities to K-12 independent schools.

Don't Work Without a Net

al_the_x — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 02:19:01 +0000

I see it all the time. People getting permanently injured on the job. Companies running reckless through the lives and well-being of their employees. Both frustratingly ignorant of their ignorance.

Designing for Action

admin_fldc — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:50:29 +0000

Designing a web site is sometimes mistakenly thought of as a strictly artistic endeavour. This presentation will demonstrate that the design of a web site has direct implications on its return on investment.

Web sites are built with a purpose in mind. Whether it is to sell a widget, sell advertising, or increase participation in a cause, most web sites have a measurable purpose that can clearly determine if the web site is successful. Designing a site to maximize these actions is a crucial element in a site's overall success.
