Who Can Benefit from Drupal?

Large Enterprises

Drupal is an ideal system for corporate websites. Why? Firstly, it provides a multisite option that allows for managing multiple sites from one dashboard. Moreover, it helps create websites in different languages. Drupal developers can integrate your system with internal and external tools such as payment gateways, CRM, etc.

SMEs and Startups

If you plan to expand your business, scalability might be what you seek. You can develop your website at any time using Drupal. Over 52,000 free modules may help you build your dream solution.

Moreover, since it’s an Open-Source system, it doesn’t require any initial costs. This way, you can save money for other important aspects of Drupal development.

Industry-Specific Websites

A Drupal website can also be excellent for universities and governments. Thanks to its advanced security features and high performance, such projects don’t have to fear traffic peaks or hacker attacks. In addition, Drupal developers can adjust your service to WCAG guidelines. Thanks to that, your website will be easily accessible to people with disabilities.

Moreover, if you run a charity foundation and want to collect money, there’s no better system than Drupal. Thanks to its powerful integration options, a Drupal development company can integrate your Drupal-based website with payment gateways or donation platforms. This way, collecting money online isn’t that much of a hassle.

Comprehensive Drupal Development Process

Agencies that offer Drupal development services usually follow a step-by-step process. This makes it easier to cooperate and keep track of changes and updates. Let’s take a look at the process of our Drupal development company.

Analysis and Planning

Drupal development service starts with the pre-implementation analysis. It helps us determine the scope of work and divide it according to the MoSCoW method. Thanks to this, our Drupal developers know which functions must be implemented as soon as possible and which can wait.

Next, we divide the project into phases and sprints and create the roadmap. We can now start designing your new Drupal website.

Design

Website designing is a vital step in the Drupal development process. It allows you to align the visual layer of the Drupal website with your branding and user needs. As a client, you will actively participate in the graphic design process. We will discuss key graphic aspects together and then start preparing the draft. When it’s finished, we will send it over to you. If you approve it, we will move on to designing more mockups.

Development

When the graphic designing process is over, our Drupal developers can start implementing functions into your website. After preparing the development and testing environment, we install Drupal and implement solutions following the established schedule. We will always keep in touch with you during the process, so we will send the finished functions to you for your approval.

Testing

As an experienced Drupal development company, we know how important is to test all the new functions. That is why we ensure all components operate as expected, evaluate the speed and server load capacity, verify vulnerabilities, and check compliance with regulations. This is a vital step in the Drupal development process.

Deployment and Training

Our Drupal experts deploy your project to the production environment in this phase. Before that, we organize training on how to handle specific aspects of Drupal. For example, the admin panel or some more advanced options.
