Project timespan: September 2007 to September 2008
We recently finished a major redesign of the Little Minyan's website because their old site couldn't continue to serve their growing needs. The new version integrates content and functions that they previously got from three different sources: their homepage, a Yahoo! group, and a third-party calendar management website. Now it's all accessible in one place, and they can easily subscribe to newsletters, forum topics, calendar events, blogs, and image galleries with one login and just a few clicks.Read more
To share Di's flair for custom designing and assembling beaded jewelry, Designs by Di wanted a new website that was simple yet powerful, eye-catching yet clean. The design of the Drupal website featured Di's signature color — pink — and a ribbon graphic to coordinate with her business card. With elegant styling that pleases the eye without distracting from the jewelry, the site was attractive and easy to use.
As for function, Di wanted elegance there too. A few simple modules (with user-friendly embellishments) were sufficient to convey the content — a gallery, products for purchase, news, and events. We implemented:

Asian American Community Services of Central Ohio wanted to give its public website as well as its internal appointment management system a major makeover. Kosada has helped them switch from their client-side method of website management to using Drupal for a combined solution, and made the visual design match the company's new letterhead.

Paper Is Bad Records, Inc. is a small, independent media distributor in Columbus, Ohio. They were founded in 2005 and registered a web address, but until summer 2007 produced only one release. With the release of three new albums in July 2007, they immediately recognized that a website would be a great way to continue their new growth and distribute the new releases.
Just a few of the custom-installed features of their new, Drupal-powered website:Read more
Sterling Commerce, an AT&T company, already had a public website, but they were interested in a small, simple, fast, and clean solution for internal communication among a small group of corporate development directors. Their requests:
A private Wiki
A blog for internal news
A mailing list for group announcements
A simple, clean, minimally-styled interface
They also mentioned that they'd heard great things about Drupal and were interested in using it. Since Drupal is one of our specialties, we were able to provide their requested features at very quick turnaround.Read more
Kosada's co-founders have been at work since the very beginning on some intriguing side-projects designed to eventually integrate into the Kosada business framework. Kineme is one of the most long-standing and dynamically evolving of those projects. From the new kineme.net:

Kosada recently designed and implemented a secure, anonymous web interface for OSU psychology student Berae McClary's junior research project.
We built an unobtrusive, highly functional, user-friendly interface to allow study participants to make their preference decisions as free from outside influence as possible. We allowed the user to simply click on the images in the order of preference — click the favorite first, and so on. As the user selected choices, the ones already selected grayed out and a ranking number appeared below. If a user changed his or her mind, or entered something mistakenly, a button at the bottom of the screen made it easy to reset the question without affecting the other questions. A small bar at the top indicated how far along in the survey the user was at any given time.
Kosada is hosting a suite of TWiki applications for Erie Plating Company — providing a repository for their IT knowledge, IT inventory, IT task management, and, increasingly, administrative documentation. We've customized TWiki to meet the data storage needs of Erie Plating Company — the goal being that employees will have one common location to store and retrieve data that can be easily customized and expanded when needed.
