It’s been said that a professional is only as good as his/her tools. While we think there’s more to success than just the tools at hand, there’s a lot of merit to that old saying.

With that in mind, August Ash, a Minneapolis web design firm, has surrounded itself with a mixture of trusted, dependable, and versatile tools. Among them is Drupal, a website content management system (CMS).

Drupal allows site owners to make many changes to their web pages without needing to involve the website’s developer or webmaster. This gives August Ash clients more control over their site’s content, enabling them to make changes on their schedule; not someone else’s.

As a bonus, because updates are fast and easy, Drupal sites are often “fresher” than similar sites where no CMS is in place. Not only do site visitors appreciate content that’s current and helpful, but Google, too, recognizes these sites as more useful adding another level of SEO benefits.

Robust and powerful, this tool can also be the Drupal developer’s ally. Some of the advantages include:

• Implementation is user-friendly, and includes the ability to install supporting modules by simply clicking checkboxes
• Multiple sites can be run off of a single install
• Because of its modular design, Drupal offers a variety of ways to create pieces of content, in addition to several tools for display it.
• The presence of a strong community of users offers abundant support to Drupal designers.

Of the many solutions used in our website development, Drupal is just one of our tools. And it will someday be supplanted by an even better solution. But for today, August Ash is proud to install and support this user-friendly tool for our clients’ projects.
