Custom development, but only when needed

One of Drupal's strengths is its extensibility via modules

There are more than ten thousand modules freely available covering a wide variety of needs. Nonetheless, sometimes the best approach is to develop a custom module, whether from the ground up or by tailoring existing open-source offerings.

We can:

• Specify, design and develop custom modules to meet your business needs.
• Advise on the best approach, i.e. use an existing module as-is, as a modified version or a custom solution built from scratch.
• Re-use our existing code-base to provide faster development times and reduced costs.
  
  

Application development

So, with a base Drupal system and a sprinkling of add-on modules, many typical applications can be realised without extensive custom development - Drupal as a web-application platform.

A few examples include:

• On-line shopping systems
• Client service, support and discussion forums
• News publishing
• Internal communication and Intranet applications.

Many more specific applications can be built on standard building blocks, adding custom elements as needed, without reinventing the wheel. Prototyping is often a good way to define business logic, study feasibility and determine whether Drupal is a suitable platform for the application without major investment. Thanks to Drupal's inherent power and flexibility, prototyping a typical application can be very fast indeed.
