Meal Zeal - The Social Food hub
Meal Zeal is a cooking website with the primary focus on allowing people to share recipes though a variety of mediums like blogs, a tips section along with a database and image gallery. Drupal was chosen to power this website due to its extreme customizability. The large selection of user contributed modules and base themes was also in favor of Drupal. Drupal also proved to be capable of handling large amounts of traffic and this was especially beneficial as the site was running on a VPS. Drupal's built in SEO capabilities also proved to be another plus point.

Mega Games
Mega Games is a news portal and download website catering to hard core gamers for the past 10 years. They had recently migrated from a hack and patch Perl system to Drupal as Drupal offered the best combination of out-of-the-box functionality vs flexibility plus the ability to compete against other systems like Ruby on Rails which provided max flexibility with minimum features and other CMS systems which have great community support but poor plugin management. Drupal also enabled the development team to develop the website with ease due to the support provided by the helpful Drupal Community.
