Drupal content management

High quality content is a crucial ingredient in the creation of a website that stands out from the crowd.

Here are some crucial things to bear in mind with your content:

• have some
• make it worth reading
• update it occasionally.

In your world, website content will rarely be a priority. Our job is therefore to make your life as easy as possible by providing a sensible content management system that allows you to update your own content quickly.

Drupal

Control your own site. Save money. Create a dynamic online presence.

A user-friendly content management system (CMS) ensures that you can take control of your website and use it to engage with your audience in a cost-effective manner.

What the system can do

• Update existing pages
• Add new pages and re-arrange menu structures
• Control commenting on individual pages
• Control user registration accounts and who can access what
• Manage orders in your online shop (if relevant)

Ongoing costs

The system is ‘open-source’ which means that there are no ongoing licence costs.

We operate a number of support packages that include:

• hosting
• technical support
• installation of upgrades that improve functionality on the system or address security threats
• strategic advice
• discounts on future development

Why Drupal?

The CMS is built on a framework called Drupal, which is recognised across the world as being a VERY GOOD content management framework.

Here are some reasons why we use it:

• open-source
• flexible and easy to expand
• search engines (e.g. Google) like it
• not tied to one business, but supported by a huge network of developers

Here are some big guns who use Drupal:

• The Economist
• AOL Corporate
• British Council – English Online
