I’ve just added a page for each of our custom Moodle theme packages, detailing what the work entails. You can find links to these pages on our service summary table. The details I’ve provided are brief, but should give you an idea of what to expect in terms of our process and timeline.
Of course, no two projects are ever exactly alike. So, drop us a line explaining your project and we’ll gladly fill in the details related to your specific needs.
I stole some time from my weekend to put together a well overdue portfolio of our work. Nick has been getting an increasing number of requests to see custom work that we’ve done for our past clients. I hope this does the job.
I have only added a small handful of our most recent clients, but I’ll continue adding themes from our past and future from here on out. The nice thing about moving to ExpressionEngine for managing our content is that adding new entries to our portfolio is as easy as writing to this blog.
The goal of the portfolio is to highlight our work and give you an idea of what we’ve done in the past. The descriptions will tell you what the client gave us at the start of the project and what we gave back in return. If you have any questions about a past project, feel free to let us know.
Most of the entries have links to the clients’ live site. Others do not. I’ll do my best to provide live links whenever I can.
I’d like to formally welcome our new (and first) project manager, Nick Gutschow.
Nick has been a friend of mine since we took German together our junior year at Michigan State University. After earning his bachelor’s degree in Analytic Philosophy, he moved to Taiwan to study and learn Mandarin Chinese. While there, he co-owned Intangible Logic, Inc, a brand development and design company where he oversaw many large projects covering not only web design, but print media and video development, marketing services, and exhibition design as well.
Nick’s role at NewSchool Learning is to take care of our clients. He answers all of our incoming emails and works in close liaison with our designers to ensure a quality theme and experience is delivered to everyone we work with, every time. He’s a genuinely great guy to work with and we’re very lucky to have him on board. If you have a project that you’d like to get started on, let him know.
I’m happy to announce the fifth redesign of NewSchool Learning in two years. While we still have a bit of work to do to get everything looking great and fully functioning, the essentials are certainly all here.
Most notably missing is our “themes” page. We’ll have that back up soon, I promise. We’re going to take our time to sort through our existing stockpile of themes. Some will inevitably make their way into Moodle 2.0. Others will get completely refreshed or recoded before they return for download here. A few of our older themes may never return. As we go through our inventory, we’ll keep you posted on what ends up where.
In the meantime, you can still download our free themes directly from the database on Moodle.org.
If you happen to notice something glaringly ugly over the next couple days, please be patient while we do some additional testing. This site is built on ExpressionEngine, which is flexible but new for us.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. All in all, we hope to have the site completely back together within the next couple of months, but that deadline will be largely influenced by the amount of custom work we have coming in. If our business over the past two months is an indicator of the business we’ll have for the next two months, I wouldn’t hold your breath. Regardless of the pace, we’ll keep you informed.
Update: Everything appears to be working fine now in all browsers. Let us know if we missed anything.
