Feidt Design
Electronic Communications & Development Consulting
I develop and maintain websites, and generate communications strategies for groups & individuals, from small sites to news sites and social networks.
With years of experience as a front-end developer and systems administrator, I also provide consulting for digital project development, emergency troubleshooting of dynamic websites, Apple computers, and Drupal server maintenance and scalability.
Whether you need a social media strategy, training on Drush & git, custom third-party integration or a Drupal Commerce upgrade, I can get the pieces working for you. A few examples...

Movie site for documentary film "Twilight of the Mississippi" by Closing Eye Studios, based on Drupal 7 with calendar.
Wordpress-powered portfolio site showcasing politically inspired projects of Beehive Design Collective of Machias ME. The site launch kicked off a Kickstarter campaign which sought $36,000 and raised $117,963.
Site features include LESS dynamic stylesheets, bilingual design, handmade custom font glyphs, animated CSS sprites, and scalability via CloudFlare so it could go viral without bogging down.
Exception Magazine was developed with Liberalati LLC on Drupal 6 as the premier portal for electronic news in Maine, including political news. It automatically feeds into Twitter; other features include section RSS feeds and embedded video handling.
Drupal Nodequeues enable customizing the look of the major section landing pages.ImageCache and a polished Zen-based theme make a really nice-looking news portal.

Great Horse Group was a new architecture firm specializing in American-Indian architecture and master planning, out of KKE and AmerIndian Architecture. This site was designed to showcase individual projects and provide the most flexibility for staff to add and modify the projects.

DanPowers.org, a FEC-compatible federal congressional campaign website advocating DFLer Dan Powers (in Minnesota we call Democrats DFLers, for Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party). Based on Drupal & Fusion theme.

Features included a nice events calendar, a standard blog page, and a front page using Panels. I liked the two main fonts, as well -- it led me into looking up which fonts are really available for use on Interwebs nowadays.
Drupal theme & troubleshooting for
the Icarus Project, a global radical mental health network based on Drupal.
Developed a meal planner & food storage tips system for MakeDirtNotWaste.org, a home composting and conservation project of Eureka Recycling, using EntityFieldQuery in Drupal 7.

Smaller front-end Drupal design maintenance tasks including fixing HTML/CSS layout issues on nonprofit websites including: Lifetrack-mn.org -- adcminnesota.org -- threesixtyjournalism.org -- MNLiteracy.org portal -- I would characterize the work I did troubleshooting these Drupal sites as front-end repair of HTML, CSS and certain Drupal configuration snags.
Working with other open-source developers, I have trained others in git & Github version control software, essential for adapting solutions in larger projects based on open-source code.

For example, I worked with a community developer to create a patch setting up iTunes-compatible MP3 podcasting enclosures for KFAI.org - bringing Twin Cities community radio podcasts online.
Interactive jQuery galleries with zoom for high-resolution posters, with bilingual support in gallery management, help Beehive Collective engage a larger audience.

I support small projects like Riseuptimes.org, a Wordpress.com-powered antiwar and social progress news blog.
