Domu - Chicago Housing Website
Custom Design and Infrastructure on Drupal 7 Publishing Platform
Domu is a website that allows users to search a wide selection of the best lofts, houses, condos and apartments for rent in Chicago. Domu is committed to transparency, simplicity and honesty in the apartment listing and searching process.
Technical Specifications:
- Drupal version: Drupal 7.x
- Key modules/theme/distribution used:
Why these modules/theme/distribution were chosen:
S3 File System
Domu has a lot of great photos associated with their listings to show off available apartments. To account for the number of high-resolution photos for the site and to make everything perform well, S3 File System (s3fs) was implemented and extended to host files on Amazon S3 and meet Domu’s performance and usability requirements.
SMTP Authentication Support
The SMTP Authentication Support module provides a good base for integrating third-party email solutions. Given the large volume of helpful notifications that go out to site users, this has helped us to solve a number of key issues with the site’s previous iteration.
