Cruncht specialises in creating sites in Drupal, the content management system of choice when it comes to quickly building interactive websites. Drupal is a mature, feature rich and relatively flexible system with a number of strengths.
Some of the strengths of Drupal include:
Good content management features making it easy to add various kinds of content, including custom content
Easy to customize the design of the site through templating
Thousands of contributed modules provide functionality for many use cases
Active developer community continually improving core code
Active user community providing help and assistance
Open source software increasing security and providing flexibility
Hosted on the popular LAMP server stack allowing for cheap hosting if desired
For simpler sites which just require a blog and some basic ‘about us’ type pages, other alternatives such as WordPress are probably better options mainly due to the ease of initial setup. However, if you are looking for a site with advanced features which will grow with you then Drupal is worth considering:
Powerful search with Solr
Permissions and access control
User registration and profiles
Easy to build custom queries listing data
Search Engine Optimization through “friendly” URLS and metadata
Cruncht has built large sites in Drupal such as Uriverse and has found it to be a platform which scales relatively well for large numbers of objects. We have also produced a series of articles on Squeezing the last drop from Drupal which demonstrate that Drupal can scale to serve 1000s or requests a second if need be.
