Drupal web design and development - London Drupal Agency

Drupal Websites

Here at Zoocha we specialise in Drupal development - our team pride themselves on creating eye-catching Drupal sites built to the highest possible standards. We specialise in Drupal Commerce implementations and projects with demanding requirements. Some of the recent Drupal sites that we have launched are:

FuturICT - A Drupal 7 website built using the latest HTML5 and CSS3 standards. The site has a content managed front-end and an active Organic Groups powered community for registered site users.

Property Place - A Facebook application that lists every property for sale or rent in the UK. It allows users to search, share and sell property via their Facebook account. It uses Drupal Commerce, Migrate and Apache Solr to achieve this. Read our case study on the Drupal website.

The highlight - A site constructed using Drupal 7 that manages all of the forthcoming show information for the highlight comedy venues. It allows full admin control over pretty much every aspect of the site.

Southover Partnership - Corporate website & back office Intranet - Drupal 7 was the ideal fit for this project as it allowed content editors to control every aspect of the site that they needed to, and the flexibility to meet all the requirements.

Sheraton Blinds - Sheraton Blinds approached us with a brief of requiring a website that could do three things; offer a corporate face to the business, provide a B2B mechanism to allow for existing retail customers to track orders for their customers, and to also sell blinds directly to consumers.

Drupal has become a major strategic focus at Zoocha, not just because it is an award winning content management system, but because it provides the platform to create genuinely innovative websites. Drupal is an open source technology that already powers millions of websites and applications. The modular system that Drupal uses enables it to support enterprise level websites.

Zoocha believe that Drupal is in its ascendancy. The fundamental building blocks of the platform (Linux, Apache, Mysql and PHP (AKA LAMP)) is well proven and powers some of the most visited websites in the world such as Wikipedia and Facebook.

Here are some reasons why you should consider Drupal as your next CMS:

Drupal is mainstream

You may not have heard of Drupal, but it powers some of the biggest sites on the Internet:

Greater London Authority

Drupal isn't just for big business however, it is also great for smaller sites that people need to be able to update themselves.

Examples of Drupal powered websites

Drupal is open-source

The open-source development model means that developers are constantly working to make Drupal the cutting-edge platform that it is, ensuring that it supports the latest technologies and trends on the web. Drupal is now on its 7th major iteration with no signs of slowing. Being open-source also means that Drupal is FREE. There are no licences fees, no upgrade fees, no hidden costs.

Drupal also has a massive community of developers that specialise in it, so there is no need to worry about being tied into a relationship with the web design agency that you appoint… they are also a friendly bunch, so don’t be afraid to say “hi” over on their community website!

Drupal is award winning

Don’t take our word for it, Drupal is gaining an enviable reputation for cleaning up at industry CMS award ceremonies.

Drupal is extensible

With over 7000 modules hosted on the Drupal website, the vast majority of your site’s requirements can be handled with the right selection of modules. Forgive us if we sound like an iPhone commercial, but if you want newsletter functionality on your site? There’s a module for that. Want printer, e-mail & PDF versions of all your pages? There’s a module for that. Want to start selling things on your website? There’s a module for that. Want Reddit style voting on your content? There’s a module for that. Want to be able to give multiple users, different roles and permissions? There’s a module for that. The list could go on and on…

Drupal is secure

Drupal has a dedicated security team with a proven track record which means that you can spend less time worrying about potential security threats, and more time focusing on the things that matter. Website owners are automatically notified of available updates and can often install them with the a click of a button. Having said all that, do you really need any more convincing than just knowing that the American government trusts it enough to power the The White House website?!

Drupal is great for SEO

With out-of-the-box features such as advanced control of clean urls, page caching for blisteringly fast loading websites, light W3C compliant mark-up, full control of page titles and meta content, automatic contextual linking, to name but a few. All that you’ll need then is a supporting search engine optimisation campaign and you’ll be racing up through the search engine results in no time!
