I have worked for MW since June (I think) 2010. And for a couple of years before me, a new site was in the works. Countless changes in direction and a new identity contributed to delays. And lets be honest, client work pays better. Placing a hard deadline on ourselves finally brought it into reality.
Several custom templates, custom wordpress loops, some core Wordpress functions, and a hefty dose of jQuery.

Category: Roll Your Own
Creativore is a new, small agency in Springfield, MO. They're big idea people, with the core of their company having previously worked on projects for some of the biggest companies in the world.
When I say "roll your own", I simply mean hand coded, no CMS. Even without having to bend a CMS this was a project full of problem-solving. Lots of javascripting, lots of CSS classes.

If there is such a thing as a straight forward website in Drupal, this would be it. The "trickiest" part being the galleries, which are a separate content type. I choose to add the necessary classes with jQuery, but the same could have been done with a Drupal pre-processor function.

Category: Roll Your Own • My Big Commerce
The marketing portion of the site is just hand-code, nothing crazy. The e-commerce portion is My Big Commerce.
As for the SEO text well below the footer, well, that wasn't me. As a developer, I can't really support or condone it. It's probably considered "grey hat", and I completely understand why they did it.

I'm not sure how you measure success, but these guys are definitely carving out their spot in their niche. 2011 marked the release of their second animated feature, which quickly sold out.
This site has two parts, the marketing side, and the e-commerce side. The marketing portion of the site is Wordpress, the e-commerce portion is My Big Commerce.

I did not build the Prairie Rivers Network website, but I did re-theme it.
The images at the top are randomly pulled from a directory using php, and then javascript is used to randomly fade them in.

This is another hand-coded, roll your own CMS site using HTML, CSS, javascript, PHP, and MySQL. It was done in early 2010, but in my opinion, the design is still very much relevant and subject appropriate.

This is another site for my employer. It's a DBA type of thing to have a more masculine look and appeal to a more masculine client. It's not that we don't enjoy working with all different types of clients, cause we do, but we love working with clients that market to the type of people we associate with.
Much of the design and functionality is closely related to those of the McKenzie Wagner site.

I included this site because it was built using Drupal 6. I think it was the last project I did using that version of the CMS. It's pretty basic.
The point I want to get across though, is that pages in Drupal don't have to look like pages built in Drupal (if that makes sense). You can use contexts, and you can define regions in your templates, and use taxonomies and custom content types to create unique layouts and elements.

Drupal 7, but nothing really special here. There are a lot of textured backgrounds, but from a code standpoint, it's pretty basic.
