Drupal + great design = winning charity site
It's been a while since the last post on this blog, hasn't it? Well, we've been really busy with some interesting Drupal projects and how time flies! We'll let you know what the sites are shortly (they're almost live)!
Now we all know that Drupal is becoming one of the most popular open-source platforms for web application and website development. This is particularly true amongst non-profit organisations and social enterprises.However, one of the myths I hear time and again is that all websites built with Drupal look the same. This couldn't be further from the truth. A Drupal website can be designed in any way we like, just as any other website. If this wasn't the case, large, brand-conscious businesses like Sony, MTV and Yahoo! would not be using it for building their public-facing sites.For example, here's an interesting article on some design elements for charity sites: 8 Tips to Design a Charity Website. Notice that a lot of the sites in the example were built with Drupal.We have built numerous sites for our non-profit clients, not one of them look the same, and they all look fantastic :)Update: And minutes after writing this, I came across this Drupal group on design and theming, Design for Drupal, via NikLP's tweet.Code snippets will not render properly in feeds, so please see original article.
