Bootstrap (https://www.drupal.org/project/bootstrap)

The reason we used Bootstrap can be summed up as:- "Sleek, intuitive, and powerful mobile first front-end framework for faster and easier web development.".

Admin Toolbar, Module Filter (https://www.drupal.org/project/module_filter, https://www.drupal.org/project/admin_toolbar)

As the client had never used Drupal before we wanted to make the administration some what easier to navigate hence the addition of some backend modules to the solution. This minor enhancements make a big difference to new comers to the Drupal CMS backend.

Config Split (https://www.drupal.org/project/config_split)

We used config split module to handle segmentation of "feature" config during the development cycles of the project. We only have 3 weeks effectively to create and push to production so things had to be kept in order to ensure fast paced development, feature completion cycles.

Ultimate Cron (https://www.drupal.org/project/ultimate_cron)

We needed to employ ultimate cron to ensure that our custom cron jobs could run at certain times of the day as they were imported content from an existing central CMS.

Search API, Facets and Search API DB (https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api, https://www.drupal.org/project/facets)

Limited budget and time required us to use Search API with DB but at least bring to the table facets and possibility of in the future of moving into Solr or alike.

Views Data Export, CSV Serialization (https://www.drupal.org/project/csv_serialization, https://www.drupal.org/project/views_data_export)

It was necessary on this project to provide a mechanism for exporting users to import into a in-house email marketing tool and this was achieved easily using the views data export module.

Along side this we were required to provide CSV exports of data of projects for user consumption; this feature was enabled through implementation of the CSV serialization module which is used by views data export anyway, savings us time to implement on this feature.

Webform (https://www.drupal.org/project/webform, https://www.drupal.org/project/webform_ui)

Webform module was key to providing various forms for communication with HKTDC backend office staff. The capabilities of webform allowed us to take existing hardcoded forms and revamp to "dynamic" managed forms very easily and in 3 languages including English, Simple and Traditional Chinese. With is powerful config management; and plugin architecture would could extend were necessary for additional feature handling easily.

A great module which will feature heavily in forms for future projects.

Default Content (https://www.drupal.org/project/default_content, https://www.drupal.org/project/default_content_extra)

Default content module was instrumental to us for being able to manage "static" content which could be pre-loaded into a freshly built site or transported to various environments intact.

Page Manager (https://www.drupal.org/project/page_manager)

In order to provide future proofing and ability for client to extend layout in future Page manager was used for key pages on the website i.e. homepage and section pages.

IMCE (https://www.drupal.org/project/imce)

At time of building the website, the media module was not quite stable enough so we opted to move forward with IMCE for media, file management solution. Editors are able to upload, find and attached images to WYSIWYG fields which has served the solution well thus far.
