Building a new Drupal site

A lot of our development work here at ComputerMinds revolves around entire website builds, often with us being involved in the creation of the functional specification in some way beforehand and maybe even the design process!

How we work

Get us on board - sooner the better

When planning and designing a site, things always go better when you get the team in as early as possible. Bringing in our development experience and insight at the start gives us all the best chance to plan and design a site and project that will succeed.

That said, we’re flexible enough to join at almost any stage.

Build on the shoulders of giants

As Drupal is an open source CMS we do as much of the heavy lifting we can using code from the community. This has the huge advantage of reducing development overheads. We can then focus solely on your specific requirements, writing bespoke code to get things working just the way you want them!

Build together

We’ll have regular check-ins with your team, to review specs and to test out what we’ve built so far. Our rapid development process involves you - we won’t just disappear for six weeks and come back with something you didn’t want! Clear communication at all steps, combined with testing platforms where you can see and use your site from early on, means that we all complete the project happy with the results.

Build with confidence

Quality code - All our code follows the well-established Drupal coding standards

Tried and tested - All changes can be tested on a Test platform before you approve them for Production

It’s your code - You retain full ownership of the code, with no vendor lock-in
