Scribd

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.

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.
