Gauteng City-Region Observatory

The academic focused GCRO website allows the client to communicate their work to stakeholders and the public in general. The site was initially developed using Drupal 6, but upgraded to Drupal 7 in 2013. The Zen 7.x-5.4 theme was used as a basis for the Drupal 7 theme creation, and SASS and Compass (plus Zen Grids) were used too. A Responsive theme design is being planned for 2014.
 
The site makes use of the Lightbox 2 module for displaying image slideshows (for example: on the Gallery page and Vignettes page ), while the home page slideshow was set up using Nodequeue, Views Slideshow and Imagecache modules.
