MiST wanted a pretty full featured Drupal site on a low budget, so we used 960gs to quickly prototype a layout. MiST send surgeons all around the world to disaster areas and it was essential for their site to be eye-grabbing and make people want to donate money! We made an AJAX rotator to bring the key site information to life. Everything in the site, including the rotators, are controllable by the site admin.
The Bradford Soup Run wanted a fairly basic website to show what they do, offer to give talks and to try and get some more donations in to cover their high operating costs. A group of us got together one Friday to volunteer our time, and by the end of a working day we had a fully built website that the director of the organisation could easily update himself.
