Drupal is our preferred web development platform.  Drupal is an enterprise-class Content Management Framework (CMF), though the short-sighted only recognize it as a Content Management System (CMS).  Drupal has a rich and vibrant community of developers and infrastructure.

 
Flexible Use
A secure portal will present content managers and system administrators alike with the tools and reports they need to accomplish their jobs fast and efficiently. With Drupal's easily customized administrative settings, back-end tools can be as easy or as complex as they need to be for each respective role accessing the system.
 
Simplified Content
The ability to manage content by types (like services, events, news, promotions and people) rather than individual pages eliminates the need to edit complex layouts, understand HTML or manipulate artwork in a third-party design application. Easy to use forms will give content mangers full control over the site's content regardless of how and where it displays to your website's visitors. Additionally, those forms will validate content to ensure that it's always displayed correctly.
 
Scalability
Adding or eliminating pages, changing design or adding function is incredibly easy.  Drupal has a wealth of “out of the box” modules that can easily be plugged in, or serve as a starting point for the development of proprietary features.
