BierstadtBooks.com was created using Drupal 7. The graphics were chosen and created to reflect the brand of the coffee shop book store located in beautiful Georgetown Colorado. The site provides a functionality for visitors to share content using social media, contact the business form, collect newsletter registrations, find the business location and browse the unique business offerings.
The site displays well in mobile browsers and is compressed to optimize mobile device bandwidth.
Theme
The theme provides an intuitive browsing experience and is created using the Zen theme engine. Zen is a very popular theme framework for Drupal. It is coding standards compliant and features a clean design.
The custom web fonts are a great feature for the graphic design. Kudos to the Google Fonts project for providing thousands of open source fonts to choose from.
