What I can do with Drupal, and why I use it.
A little over three years ago, I started using Drupal and it changed everything.
When I first started making HTML pages, there wasn't really a lot you could do on the web. However... now, with endless supply of distributable public content and services, INTEGRATION, I believe, is at the heart of modern web development. Integrating online services (API's) can be performed simply, elegantly and with an eye to cost effectiveness while still maintain a high level of branding integrity and individuality. The caveat is though, with a relatively small budget (1k-30k start up), to be successful and maintainable, organizations wishing to have an effective strategy that will keep their ROI high, must in fact chose an online solution that maximizes their ability to apapt to the new system quickly, and to be able to monitize and recoup the start up costs within the first year.
The steps to being successful as a web business start by being able to manage your online presence. It may sound obvious, but the choice of system you wish to use, the framework in which you decide to build your business from, is mission critical. This is why I use Drupal, it is scaleable, maintainable, updateable, and has a developer community that is the best I have ever been a part of.
This site is powered by Drupal 6.
I really know Drupal 5 like the back of my hand. I know Drupal 5 very well, especially it's quirks. To make a Drupal 5 installation emulate what I get out of the box in Drupal 6 is very time consuming, and only produces nominal results. I can get Drupal 5 to sing pretty well, and produce a fast site - BUT NOT LIKE DRUPAL 6!
