CHRAVELER Web Design

What is Drupal?

Drupal is one of the world's most popular open-source content management system software packages. Drupal is a free software package that CHRAVELER Web Design has mastered the design, implementation, usage and maintenance of to allow you as an individual, a professional, a business, or a community of users to easily publish, manage, organize and share a immense variety of content on your own website. Drupal is powerful open-source website software, distributed for free under the GPL ("GNU General Public License") and is maintained and developed by a community of thousands of users and developers. CHRAVELER Web Design charges a fee for its services and expertise in implementing Drupal as your website solution. More information about Drupal can be found at www.drupal.org.

What can Drupal do exactly?

How would CHRAVELER Web Design implement a Drupal website solution for me and/or my company?

Unlike a static website that simply serves up pages of information that never changes, a Drupal web solution implemented by CHRAVELER Web Design will provide you with a tool that can be easily updated as often as you wish and will be useful and valuable for years to come! Many websites using Drupal will implement many of the features mentioned above together to provide a powerful and dynamic web solution. Coupled with a fully customized "theme", or appearance to your website, CHRAVELER Web Design can provide you with a complete solution to meet your website needs.

Working with CHRAVELER Web Design begins with a free consultation to discuss your website goals and desires, any additional graphic or print design and/or production needs (such as a logo), your website's hosting and domain name requirements and solutions, and a subsequent breakdown of all costs to be incurred.

If you then choose to work with CHRAVELER Web Design, a website outline and plan is developed first to account for both immediate and future features of your website. Then, website hosting and domain name requirements and options are discussed and implemented. Next, Drupal is installed on your web host, and your website's features and theme are developed. Finally, usage and maintenance training for your new website is provided (complete site maintenance and updating by CHRAVELER is also available), and you and/or your organization are off to the races!
