Requirements gathering
Requirements gathering

A successful project starts by clearly gathering your requirements, it is often easy to overlook the importance of this step of the development process but without it you are almost certainly going to regret it as things develop. There are various forms this process can take but the end goal is something resembling a functional specification which can be handed over to the development team to deliver. We would usually start by looking at where you currently are, often looking at your current processes and using this as an opportunity to improve them when necessary and advising you on the best way forward in the Drupal world.

Architecture and planning

Once you have a clear idea of your requirements we can advise you on how best to present your solution to your users. The technical term for this is an Information Architecture; however, this is really just a fancy way of saying how we structure all your content so your users can best find what they’re looking for and what you want to show them. In its most basic form this would be how do we structure the site navigation to make it easy to move around.

Continued development

Once your Drupal site has been delivered it is often the case that this is the start of a journey because Drupal is so easily extendable. It is not uncommon to want to add functionality as time goes on and we’re happy to advise you on the best ways of doing this. We can help by showing you what is possible from the community ‘out of the box’ right the way through to specifying new units of bespoke code to meet your requirements.

ComputerMinds took our old website and created a new Drupal platform that reduced the cost and sped up development significantly. With continual support and swift response times, we’ve gone from a non-mobile optimised site to a digital program of activity that’s constantly delivering new sites and functionality.

Rex London

We have known and worked with Rex London for a long time and have seen them through many projects. They know us, we know them, it works. For this latest project, Rex London required a website redesign alongside their Drupal 9 upgrade. With this came the perfect opportunity to modernise the front and back end of their website by utilising the latest software, programmes, and Drupal modules available to us at the time.

A Drupal 8 first for us: a multilingual, multi-site platform. The inclusion of language hierarchy and the integration of moderation and paragraphs provided a fair few head scratching moments indeed!
