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

Drupal is an open-source platform that more than a million of people across the globe find useful for their content management purposes. They choose Drupal because of its flexibility, reliability, and security. However, not all of them know how to use it properly.

Nowadays, people spend more time than ever being glued to the screen, so they can see hundreds of different websites each month. Are they even engaged when most of the websites look the same? Does your website stand out from competitors and is a real attention-grabbing machine?  The average American internet user spends twenty-four hours a week browsing the web.

It’s been two years since the première of Drupal 8. We already got used to the differences between versions 7 and 8, and a lot of websites were created based on D8. Many Drupal 7-based websites are applications that use Drupal Commerce – an e-commerce module for Drupal. Many of the applications were set-up with the Commerce Kickstart distribution, which was based on this add-on. What’s the way to do it with D8?

Sometimes I find questions like the following one on Internet forums: “I want to build a website. Should I go with a standard CMS (such as Drupal), or develop a proprietary CMS?” I've been working with a large, custom CMS that was developed for quite a while, as well as in Drupal and I wanted to share my insights. Reinventing the wheel The first thing I noticed was the difference in the amount of time and effort spent on rewriting standard solutions.

What to do with an old, outdated website that you would like to keep online? The perfect solution is to archive it to pure HTML code. We will demonstrate it on the example of a drupalcamp.pl website created in Droopler, based on Drupal. Why archive pages at all? Sometimes websites have their expiration date. It may result from the life cycle of the technology used to build it or simply because the website was created for an event or some special occasion.

At our Drupal agency we have always wanted to solve the problem of time-consuming creation of Drupal 8-based small pages from scratch. Finally, we have been able to achieve satisfactory results with Droopler. Version 1.3 is even better. Why did we make Droopler? We regularly make websites for our needs (for example for marketing campaigns or events like DrupalCamp Poland) as well as for our clients.

Drupal has a reputation for being hard-to-manage compared to other Content Management Systems. At Droptica, however, we believe that it makes up for it with its incredible versatility and flexibility. The following ten Drupal websites are the best examples of this! 1.

Droptica is already getting ready for the Drupal Europe 2018 conference. Read on to see why you should be there too! A better understanding of the system Drupal is software created for the people, by the people. The biggest European Drupal conference is a great opportunity to meet the programmers behind this CMS.

At the last DrupalCon in Nashville, you could hear a lot of interesting lectures. I have chosen ten lectures for you, which I consider to be one of the most interesting. You can find the entire playlist of DrupalCon lectures at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpeDXSh4nHjRRbzQW5D6PQVFPrTuh5y8m Below are some of the lectures you cannot miss. 1. Weather.com’s Project Moonracer – Decoupled User Interfaces This session will show you how the Weather.com team manages content.

DrupalEurope is this year’s largest European conference devoted to Drupal. In previous years, each edition of the conference (formerly known as DrupalCon) was attended by about 2000 participants. We already know the programme of the conference with 162 hours of lectures over the course of three days! Because I run a Drupal agency myself, the conference is super exciting for me. I decided to go through the programme and make a list of 13 lectures that I think are worth seeing. 1.
