The Background

Let’s start with first things first. Drupal is undoubtedly one of the best CMSs (Content Management Systems, to the uninitiated) out there. Perhaps what makes it even more endearing to many and especially to us here at ITOI (that is IT Outsourcing India, if you forgot!) is that it’s a Open Source Software. That means, first of all, that the money you pay for buying the software license is Nill and secondly (perhaps even more importantly), your money does not go to fund the lavish lifestyle of a tech czar, from whose company you are “forced” to buy

proprietary software. Now you can also guess who must be hating the guts of

Open Source Software such as Drupal Content Management Systems!

Now a Content Management System helps you to create, upload, organize, edit and tweak the news stories, images, write-ups and what not that you want placed in your website. It could be pictures of your little puppy, or it could be step-by-step instructions on how to make a nuclear submarine, it doesn’t matter. Gone  (that is File Transfer Protocol) are the days when you had to be a master of technology and be able to do FTP and master a number of languages (such as HTML or Hyper Text Mark-up Language) and programmers before you could work on your website directly. Thus there was always the need for (often costly) programmers who would do the “managing” of the content you provided.

One of the factors responsible for Drupal’s awesome popularity is its scalability and capability for unlimited customization. Drupal customizations help adapt the software for specific contexts. A second factor is Drupal’s amazing flexibility that allows for scaling up to high levels of complexity. Now with state-of-the-art Content Management Systems like Drupal, any Tom, Dick or Harry (or Tina, Diana or Holly, for that matter) or can expertly manage his (or her) website content. We guess that’s more than enough for a backgrounder. So now let’s go for the real stuff about outsourcing Drupal development.

Why We Will Always Love Drupal

Let’s be honest here – we are in love with Drupal. And We Will Always Love Drupal as long as we both shall live.

We love Drupal for its standard features that enable uploading of customized content into dynamic websites really really easy. We also love it because all the basic functionalities are available in its core layer and we have all the add-on modules and features available us plug-ins. Believe us, there are plug-ins for almost everything except headaches and rashes (kidding!).

Now everybody – web developers, web programmers, web architects, web content developers – loves Drupal also because there are thousands of Drupal “templates” and “themes” available on the net – some are free, some are paid. But all are good.

So What Exactly Are Drupal Themes?

Good question! We’re glad you asked. A Drupal “theme”, in the simplest sense, is how a page is going to look like – it’s about the “look and feel” of the web pages.

It doesn’t rally matter how technologically advanced your company website is, if it doesn’t look good enough. Who doesn’t know that you need to look good and attractive to win business? It’s as elementary as that. Drupal theming, technically, is a set of files that define the presentation layer of the web content. And we, at ITOI, do this pretty well. We have a thoughtfully crafted and expertly executed visual design process that literally brings out the best in a website with Drupal.

Actually, making your website look (and feel) awesome is not the only thing that Drupal theming does you. We leverage Drupal themes to also enable provide cross-browser support, define graphic attributes and also help with SEO (Search Engine Optimization). And to this end, our expertise helps us get the best out of Drupal theming capabilities.

Let’s Talk About the Money Honey

Last but not the least, it’s also about the money. We pay out programmers (and our directors) a honest day’s salary for an honest day’s work. Nothing more and nothing less. So what you pay is going directly to the work we do for you – not to support a fat expense account!

We limit our expenses by running a lean organisation and by utilizing differences in the quality of living standards in the places we operate in.  A cup of coffee costs a lot more in downtown LA than in downtown Kochi. You get the idea!
