We have developed numerous highly important modules for Drupal, among which the most notable are the HubSpot CRM Client, Odata Client, e.g. Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM integration, CMIS integration module for Alfresco or Sharepoint, Google Analytics counter, Google AdWords API integration, GLS integration for Drupal Commerce modules.

In addition to the mentioned ones, we have also developed several other modules over the past years, including:

  • General Data Protection Regulation
  • DAMopen distribution for Digital Asset Management 
  • Parade (One Page-site builder solution)

  • Media Library UX (to Drupal core)
  • REMP paywall (Paywall integration)
  • Core, contrib patches

When to use Drupal?

If you need a CMS (Content Management System) or a content-heavy web application Drupal is an excellent choice.

Some use-cases where Drupal shines:

  • News portal
  • Corporate website with complex structure
  • Intranet portal
  • Headless CMS - a backend, a content hub for your decoupled website, mobile app, or any other system e.g. information kiosk, or IoT device.
  • Some existing Drupal based web applications available as distributions
    • Digital Asset Management (DAMopen)
    • Learning management (Opigno)
    • Social intranet, online community (Open Social)

Strengths of Drupal:

  • Content architecture modeling
  • Multilingual content management
  • Content authoring workflows
  • Integrations, extensibility
  • Central media management
  • E-commerce when you can take advantage of having a single website serving your content and e-commerce offering e.g. when you don't want to look like most of the webshops, but want to offer a unique, content-heavy presentation of products.
  • Last but not least: it's open-source

 

When do you need custom Drupal development?

Custom look & feel

To show your brand and to achieve the best possible user experience, you will need a unique look and feel, and that will require custom Drupal "theme" development.

Custom functionality, integrations

While Drupal is powerful out-of-the-box and there are a vast amount of extension and integration module available, often it's required to tailor them to specific needs or add new features. In our experience, every Drupal project contains some custom code.

Our expertise

We have the experience to build complex but still sustainable web applications. Our solutions and knowledge are relying on widely used, future-proof, and transparent technologies. Our commitment to open-source contribution and community involvement are proving that we have more than the required skills.

PROPRIETARY > OPEN SOURCE

It’s not only about the lower costs of ownership. It’s about getting back the control.

Replace proprietary software with customized open source solutions. Forget the license fees and vendor lock-ins.

Drupal is fully open-source. Unlike other open-source CMSes even its module directory contains only open source modules. No more dealing with a mixed software built on partially open-source and paid plugins, or components.

We recommend to open-source everything. Of course, if it's your business strategy to withhold some intellectual property it's also achievable with Drupal, the theme or some modules can have custom licenses. But if your core business is not about your website or web app, then it's more beneficial to build a sustainable solution and the only proven way to do that is open-sourcing everything avoiding any vendor lock-ins and gaining community support. Large companies and organizations have been doing this successfully, it's time to join them. We are here to help.
