Drupal Development

No licence fees, and no lock-in

Drupal is open source. There is no licence fee and no per-seat charge that climbs every year, so your budget goes into your platform rather than into renewals. Because it is open source and used worldwide, you are not tied to a single supplier either. You own the platform, and you can change partners without changing technology.

Security you can defend to a board

Drupal has a strong security record and is trusted by governments and public sector bodies worldwide. A dedicated security team and frequent updates mean vulnerabilities are found and patched quickly. For any organisation holding sensitive data, that track record is one of the main reasons to choose it.

Built for complexity

Fine-grained permissions, complex content structures, multiple sites from a single codebase, multilingual content in core. These are the things Drupal does better than almost anything else, and they are exactly what large organisations need. Its module ecosystem covers most common requirements, and bespoke development handles the rest.

Scales with demand

Drupal runs some of the highest-traffic sites in government, education and enterprise, handling large volumes of users and content without strain. It scales as your organisation and your traffic grow.

A large, active community

Drupal’s open-source community is one of the biggest in the world, with a predictable release cycle and continuous improvement. That means a platform that keeps evolving, a deep pool of expertise to draw on, and no reliance on the fortunes of a single vendor.

Content management your team can actually use

Drupal’s editing experience has come a long way, with layout tools, custom workflows and role-based access that let content teams publish confidently, even on large and complex sites.

User-Friendly Management

Drupal’s intuitive tools for content management ensure editors and administrators can easily manage workflows, permissions, and taxonomies, allowing you to focus on delivering compelling user experiences.

Ecommerce with Drupal Commerce

For organisations that need to sell as well as publish, Drupal Commerce adds full ecommerce to the same platform. Because it is built into Drupal rather than bolted on, your content and your store share one system, one login and one set of data, which suits complex catalogues, membership and subscription models, and B2B requirements that off-the-shelf shops struggle with.

A proven route for councils: LocalGov Drupal

Local authorities have their own version of Drupal. LocalGov Drupal is an open-source distribution built by councils, for councils, and used by more than 50 authorities across the UK and Ireland. It comes with accessibility and Government Digital Service standards built in, a shared pool of council-ready features, and a much lower cost of entry than proprietary platforms. If you are a council, it is often the most sensible starting point, and we can help you build on and extend it.
