Content Management System

Web design Northern Ireland

We use the highly advanced and flexible Drupal framework to provide a fully featured Content Mangament System to allow you to easily manage your own website.

Drupal is a free, robust content management framework that is maintained by thousands of enthusiastic web developers, designers, strategists and project managers. A huge amount of major websites around the world use Drupal, including President Obama, and the American Government, The UK Government, Ebay, McDonalds, Yahoo!, FIFA 2010 World Cup, General Motors, Intel, Fujifilm, Reuters, Robbie Williams, CNN, Sony Ericsson, The United Nations, The Discovery Channel, The New York Observer, and thousands more governments, political figures, media organisations, and other well known businesses all use Drupal at the heart of their websites.

So why is it so great?

First, it's Open Source:

  • Supported by a large developer community
  • No proprietary licensing fees
  • Long-term ROI not tied to performance of a single vendor firm
  • Portable
  • Transparent security focus
  • Advantages over a custom-built system:
    • Resources required to match quality of Drupal code would be enormous
    • Hardened by years of widespread use and developer contributions
    • Extremely secure
