Shared foundations, unique sites For organisations managing multiple websites, the long term ROI is not just affected by the initial build cost - it emerges over time, quietly but persistently, through duplicated effort, fragmented systems, and teams stretched thin trying to keep everything aligned. Each new site can introduce another layer of complexity; another place where content must be updated, another codebase to maintain, another set of decisions that slowly drift away from the rest...

Many of us with even a little project management experience have heard about the fabled "black swan" IT projects, going 300% over budget and crashing to the ground. But what do you do if that's your project? Certainly, we know well that it's not necessarily appropriate to just throw "more" resource at the problem - and especially if it's becoming apparent that the resource you have might not be sufficiently capable. So, some quick thoughts...

So you’ve decided Drupal is the right content management system for your website. Smart move! Drupal is powerful, flexible, and built to scale with your business. But here’s the thing: migrating to Drupal isn’t something you want to wing.

When people talk about “cost-effective” Drupal maintenance, they often mean one thing: What’s the cheapest way to keep this site ticking over? That instinct makes sense - nobody wants to pay more than they need to. But in 2026, genuine cost-effectiveness is a bit different. It’s not about paying the lowest invoice this month. It’s about avoiding the slow, quiet problems that quietly make websites fragile, expensive, and stressful to run later on. Let’s break...

Choosing a content management system isn’t about picking the “best” platform overall — it’s about picking the right one for your project. There are loads of CMS options out there, from quick-start tools to enterprise-grade platforms. Each has its place. In this article, we’ll look at how Drupal compares to other popular CMS options, including WordPress and the growing world of SaaS web builders like Contentful and Sitecore — and when Drupal really comes into...

Hiring a Drupal development company isn’t just about getting a website built or a feature delivered. The real value often shows up after the contract is signed and the work begins. Good agencies don’t disappear once the code is written - they stick around, communicate clearly, and help your site (and your team) succeed over the long term. Here’s what you should realistically expect from a strong Drupal agency, and how that support usually looks...

Let’s be honest: when people search for affordable Drupal development, what they usually mean is “good Drupal developers who won’t disappear, overcharge, or make my life harder.” Drupal has a reputation for being powerful, flexible… and sometimes a little intimidating. That means prices can vary wildly, and it’s not always obvious where the sweet spot is between cost, quality, and sanity. So rather than pushing a single answer, this article walks through where affordable Drupal...

Steven and I had been encountering (fairly savage) static electric shocks from our desk chairs. For a number of months we'd been noticing the issue, each "crack!" seeming louder and more painful than the last. Almost every time we walked across the room, our chairs would greet us with a stab to the hand. The comedy value grew just as the frustration did; we'd enjoy listening for that signature sound whenever our colleagues returned to...
