Great post this week on Boxes and Arrows about the usability of scrolling. Change comes hard and many folks still have "Users don't like to scroll" in their heads. Milissa Tarquini squashes this in her post Blasting the Myth of the Fold

The biggest lesson to be learned here is that if you use visual cues (such as cut-off images and text) and compelling content, users will scroll to see all of it. The next great frontier in web page design has to be bottom of the page.

Someone asked me about our involvement with non-profits and Drupal's suitability compared to Convio recently. Here are some thoughts I shared with him and thought might be interesting to a wider audience.

More than 50% of our projects are with non-profits and it has been extremely rewarding. Almost all of them include Drupal. In general, we end up with non-profits that are a bit more established in scale. They are good partners that understand the value we deliver to their projects.

Lucidus is proud to announce the launch of the C&S "Nourishing Change" web site.

Working closely with our partners at Communicators Group we implemented a custom theme on a Drupal based solution that is not only beautiful, but is easy for the good folks at C&S to update themselves.

Many of us will be heading to Concord NH tonight to attend the initial meeting of the NH Drupal User Group.

Lucidus is excited to become a more active member in the Drupal community and supporting this user group is just one of the ways we will be doing that in 2009.

While the user groups tend to cater to a technical crowd, we also hope to have some "Lunch and Learn" events at our office where our customer can hear about the latest news impacting their websites and share best practices amongst themselves

So I've been digging into the Context and Spaces modules from Development Seed. These are two FANTASTIC modules that essentially, when combined, allow a developer to create a web site "feature" that can be essentially packaged for easily installation and use on multiple websites. For example, we're creating a project collaboration site to be used for our client projects that might include things like messages, files, site documentation, chat, support tasks, etc. The challenge thusfar is that the documentation is rather sparse but there are some great videos that show how to get started.

Neil Giarratana of Lucidus will be sharing his his unique approach to building a thriving web development business at this year's DrupalCon!
