Drupal Development

Drupal provides numerous ways to hook-in and expand the functionality of the system. Using the PHP language Ixis IT can provide a number of development options to increase your projects functionality and match your project budget.

Modules

Modules are small self contained packages of functionality which can usually be dropped in to an existing Drupal site, and enabled from with in the system user interface. Modules are the best way to add very unique functionality requirements to a Drupal powered website.

As well as providing new functionality, a module can also be used to modify the behavior of an existing module already in use on a Drupal site. Our team of developers would analyse your functionality requirement first to determine if this method of module development would be the best and more cost effective path for your project.

Configuration

The advancement in Drupal has brought a lot of configuration capability in to the web based user interface of the system, and eliminating the need for software development at the PHP level in some cases. Ixis build upon their 5 years of Drupal configuration experience to ensure we know what existing modules can be combined and configured to produce either exactly what you need, or as close as possible at a fraction of the cost for custom developed Drupal modules.

A lot of configuration revolves around CCK, Views, and modules associated with these two pillars of Drupal site building.

Themes

Drupal provides a theme system for visualising the content in the website. New themes can be dropped in to an existing site and provide alternative layouts for the same content easily.

In addition to moving content around, extensions of the theme can provide visual variations in the rending of content, placing content on maps, making it appear in pop-up layers and generally increasing the interactivity with site visitors.
