Drupal Content Management System

Most information systems we build use the Drupal content management system (CMS) software because of its building block nature. The biggest reason for Drupal’s growing popularity is it can be configured to support anything from a simple 'brochure' style site, up through a fully integrated eCommerce solution. What’s more, if deployment speed is of the essence, a fully functional basic install can be created in a manner of a few hours using a pre-defined Theme.

The core software found within Drupal itself serves as a base for the information system. This is then augmented through the use of add-on modules to suit the needs for a given site. If the site requires it, custom modules may also be used. The look for a given site is established within a Theme that Drupal calls upon when providing page views. To change the look of a site, one simply changes the Theme.

In most cases, a new site would be built first using our test server. The initial requirements for the site are established for add-on modules. Once that software is in place, testing begins using dummy content and users. Much of the attention at this point is on the Theme to ensure pages are displaying as they should. In the next stage, all dummy items are removed to make way for actual content copy. Only when all involved are happy with the build on the test server is the database and files moved to the actual hosted space.

Drupal’s flexibility has won numerous awards as voted upon by developers in the open-source community through Packt Publishing.
