Drupal development, done properly.

New builds, features and integrations, from developers who work with Drupal every day.

Overview

Every developer here knows Drupal inside out

We've been building Drupal websites since 2006, from small charity sites to large multisite platforms for national organisations. Every developer on our team works with Drupal every day, so you get people who know the platform inside out.

We build custom modules, integrations with CRMs, payment providers and third-party APIs, and content structures that make day-to-day publishing easy for your editors. Everything is built on current Drupal, to Drupal coding standards, with accessibility and performance designed in from the start.

Custom modules

Functionality built around how your organisation works, to Drupal coding standards.

CRM, payment and API integrations

Connect your site to the CRM, payment provider and third-party services you already use.

Multisite platforms

In more detail

Ready for action

The development stage of a project is when we really start to see tangible things happening. At ComputerMinds we’re used to coming onboard at various stages during the development process be that right at the beginning, building everything from scratch through to inheriting existing code and going from there. In this section, we give a brief overview of some of the ways we might be able to help.

Full site builds

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! 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! All of our code follows the well established Drupal coding standards meaning that it is fully extendable and there is no vendor lock in.

Custom functionality

Whilst many generic tasks can be accomplished with Drupal using code from its wide and active community of developers. Drupal’s modular structure makes it easy to plug new functionality in as and when needed and it is often the case that some custom code will be required to meet some of your requirements and this is where ComputerMinds come in! We’re happy to just work on individual modules or a selection of modules bespoke to you. Because of Drupal’s modular structure there’s no need to for us to have touched any of the other code in your website so you can come to us at any stage!

Front end design and build

It is often easy to spend so long focusing on the technical side of the development process that the frontend side of things gets taken for granted. At ComputerMinds we realise the importance of proper, modern frontend technologies when it comes to streamlining the development process as well as making it much more robust. Gone are the days of unwieldy CSS - now we take a much more considered approach when it comes to how things look and feel from a coding point of view, from style through to a bit of jQuery to get you user experience working just the way you want!

Design with us

Integrate and connect

When it comes to developing your Drupal website it is often the case that you want this to marry with other systems as seamlessly as possible. This might be something as routine as tying in a third party payment gateway through to something more complex such as a complete integration with your current CRM or ERP tools.

At ComputerMinds we have a wealth of experience when it comes to integrating the existing systems that our clients use, including APIs that are very well documented through to those that need a little more digging around to figure things out. We're always happy to take on a new challenge!

Drupal Developers For Hire

Supplement your team

Sometimes you need a Drupal consultant, and other times you just need to airdrop in some top-class Drupal developers who know their stuff and are ready to get stuck in. Perhaps your team would benefit from an expert Drupal developer on an ongoing monthly basis, or maybe you just need some extra support for a particularly tricky project. Either way, we've got the Drupal chops you need.

Project sponsorship

Drupal is a free and open-source product. There is great power in the wealth of freely available contributed modules and themes available for every Drupal website to leverage. Maybe there's a bug you need fixing in Drupal, or in a contributed module or theme that you use. Perhaps there's a missing feature or a 3rd party integration that doesn't exist yet, but really should. Sponsor our Drupal developers to get it sorted for you, whilst at the same time giving back to the wider community and making Drupal better for everyone!
