Oh, the possibilities!
AUGUST 2008: HM+C set to launch first Drupal website in September. From the beginning, HM+C’s Web+Technology Director Josh Miller was sold on Drupal’s value as a Web platform. So, when Aspen Group asked for a site upgrade, he used Drupal, which made the project affordable and allowed him to give them exactly what they wanted – news, white papers, project portfolio, edited content and new sections – in about half the time. When Aspen Group’s site goes “live” in September, it will mark the beginning of a giant leap in HM+C’s Web development capabilities.
Drupal is a powerful open source content management system. “It’s like having a big box of erector set components,” stated Josh. “You’ve got all the pieces to build whatever you can imagine. You just have to know how. And that’s where we come in.”
The Aspen Group project allowed us to test-drive Drupal and enthusiasm remains high. It’s a breakthrough for smaller clients who wouldn’t have been able to afford all the bells and whistles before, and it’s a benefit for larger clients who want to keep their site fresh and relevant, because it’s easy to update and gives them control over content and functionality.
Drupal is also very reliable and secure. For clients who dream of taking their websites beyond a static brochure stage to dynamic conversations with customers, HM+C now offers the technology to give them value-rich content at a price anyone can afford. Our process, which begins with an assessment of client needs, has evolved in the trenches so it’s practical and highly efficient. Our expertise in branding ensures each client site will stand out and reflect their unique brand. Plus, we offer training and can provide ongoing assistance.
