Welcome to our blog page. We'd like to share knowledge of the areas that are the most fascinating to us.

Drupal is readily used by numerous large, international enterprises, including Nokia, Timex, Pfizer, and Cisco. What do all these brands have in common? All of them need stable websites that respond to rapidly changing trends while ensuring security and enabling editorial teams to work quickly and efficiently.

The SCRUM project management framework is very popular in the IT industry. 

At Droptica, we decided to implement SCRUM as a basic tool for working with our clients a while ago. In this article, you can read more about the ins and outs of such an approach, as well as about how it benefits both parties.

In a year or so, the stable release of Drupal 9 will finally be made available to everyone. The previous release – Drupal 8 – was published in 2015 and it caused a lot of controversy among its users, mainly due to the complicated update path resulting from the rather significant differences compared to Drupal 7. All of this led to a schism of sorts, with Drupal 7 supporters going with a separate project named Backdrop.

What’s the matter? To date, Droptica has organised two kinds of events for people working with Drupal: DrupalCamp and DrupalDay. September this year will be marked with a new kind of event – an Unconference.

What is this Unconference?

We spend a lot of time at work – according to the OECD, it’s more than 1,800 hours a year! Knowing that you spend as much time at work as in your bed, you should make sure that your workplace is comfortable and characterised by a friendly atmosphere. Check out everything that we do to ensure that our work is both pleasant and productive! ;)

1. We never compromise on work quality

Corporate websites are really complex. It takes a lot of time and effort every time they need to be rebuild. Sometimes it may feel like the website as soon as it is finished, could be re-build again. Let’s look at why this happens and what to do about it.

Corporate website projects take too long

Besides social media, the website remains the main marketing tool for a vast majority of companies, which is why it is paramount to constantly develop and adapt it to the business goals you want to achieve. A company website should be an effective tool, used to reinforce business activities, and its development should go hand in hand with business development.

Recently, we celebrated the first anniversary of Droopler, our Drupal distribution. This presents a perfect opportunity to look at our project from the standpoint of design and user experience, as well as our main principles that guide us in the development of this project.

Create components, not subpages

Choosing the right technology to build your company website is always difficult since you always have to find the sweet spot between the cost of deployment, quality and ease of subsequent updates. In order to meet the needs of small and large enterprises, we embarked to design a Drupal 8-based Droopler distribution. Why is it worth taking it for a spin?

1. Cost optimisation

Depending on the company, there may be fewer or more stakeholders interested in the new corporate website you are building. I would recommend spending time mapping all of them out and involving each stakeholder at least to some extent in the process of planning out the new website.
