Drupal 8 Roadmap

By Brandon Bowersox-Johnson on April 2, 2012

Now that we’ve returned from the March DrupalCon in Denver and had a chance to reflect, we’ve pulled together this unofficial roadmap to Drupal 8. Here are the top things you need to know about Drupal’s next big evolution.

Mobile-Friendly and Responsive

The biggest change coming in Drupal 8 is the built-in support for mobile. Drupal aims to be a leading platform for mobile content creation and consumption.

We'll be out and about in April

The flowers (and pollen!) aren't the only things busting out right now. Pixo staff members are busting out, too, with activities all around Champaign-Urbana this month. If you're interested in one of these topics, consider yourself invited. We'll be there!

Sometimes, the solution is in the cards

By Melinda Miller on March 7, 2012

I spent a lot of time as a kid playing with Legos. Arguably, I think it was the perfect toy for someone who grew up to be a user experience architect/closet librarian/newspaper page designer.*

I started thinking about my own history with organizing when I was reviewing a recent project and reflecting on how user research informed our recommendations.

By Tyla Conerly on December 6, 2011

Lori Gold Patterson, CEO of Pixo, has been elected to the 2012 Leadership Illinois Board of Directors. This enthusiastic Board of Directors governs Leadership Illinois on behalf of alumna and members. The Directors have each experienced Leadership Illinois as class members and speakers. Their committed volunteerism is testimony to the value and impact that Leadership Illinois has had, and will continue to have, on women leaders from across the state.

My Weekend Away from the Web

By Maya Bruck on November 7, 2011

This past weekend I attended a conference on what I would call the antithesis of web design. I spent my weekend in Two Rivers WI at the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum, geeking out over letterpress at the Museum's third annual Wayzgoose Conference. The conference is a gathering of typography enthusiasts, of people across the country who get giddy at looking at wood type and antiquated ways of printing with them. I had an absolute ball.

Making jQuery Cycle Accessible

By mtownsend on October 13, 2011

Pixo recently launched the new website for Disability Resources and Educational Services at the University of Illinois (DRES). DRES is one of the international leaders in providing accessible residential and academic services in a university environment, so this project was just the kind of challenge we've been waiting for at Pixo — building an accessible, beautiful site that's as easy to use as to administer.

OJC is now Pixo!

By Lori Gold Patterson on September 28, 2011

We are thrilled to announce that OJC Technologies has changed its name to Pixo! After 13 years of putting our colleagues in distress as they tried to recollect our impossible-to-remember name, we finally took the leap and changed it.

Editing the Web

By dyoung on September 21, 2011

Pixo is exploring a new way to edit the web with a new project that we began this summer. I think that you will instantly recognize the problems that we are trying to solve with the project if I give you an example:

Drupal 6 vs 7

By Brandon Bowersox-Johnson on August 31, 2011

Drupal 7 was released in January 2011, but is it ready for your next project?

In the last few months, usage of Drupal 7 has finally started to tilt higher. After all, the Drupal community put its weight behind the #D7CX pledge. This community effort was designed to make sure all the popular modules would have a public release on the same day as Drupal 7 itself was released. This effort has improved the up-take rate and solved some of the problems with slow adoption of Drupal 6 after its release in February 2008.
