Livios Start to Build

Livios Start To Build is an interactive platform that allows visitors to post questions about the steps involved in building a house while offering the possibility to document their own build through mini-journals (http://www.starttobuild.be).
The Open Source Web Content Management platform Drupal was chosen because of its user-friendliness towards visitors keen on sharing their build and interacting with other publishers through comments etc.

The biggest challenges in realizing this project were:

  • Building the journal-platform so users can create mini-sites and update their own space with photo albums etc.
  • Integrating the Drupal-system with the existing Livios-backend through SOAP Services for advertisers, panel members and registered users of Livios.be.
  • Integrating the Drupal-system with the Livios-website in order to relate user-generated blogposts to existing articles on Livios.be
