Programming

The staff at Maine Web FX has been involved in Drupal development for the several years and have delivered local and international websites based on Drupal's superior content management system. Some examples of Drupal's flexibility and solid code base can be found at the platform's website www.drupal.org.

Outlined in our client portfolio are examples of Drupal's flexibility with design, functions, interactive content, multimedia and dynamic displays. Maine Web FX offers full Drupal development as well as custom theming (the look of the website), module or plug-in customization, module development and custom Drupal programming.

Because Drupal is an open-source application geared specifically to content managed websites, the coding in the site is top-notch and the flexibility is unparalleled compared to any other content management system on the market.

An overview of the Drupal Project:

Drupal is open-source software distributed under the GPL ("GNU General Public License") and is maintained and developed by a community of thousands of users and developers. If you like what Drupal promises for you, please work with us to expand and refine Drupal to suit your specific needs. Maine Web FX's customizations include custom theming, custom plug-in development and site-specific flexibility.

Drupal Demonstration Site

Our newspaper development team recently completed an online demonstration site using the Drupal Content Management System. The demo site is set up like a newspaper, and includes many features that other website owners would like, such as custom content types, photo galleries, custom content layouts, lightbox integration and more.

The demo will allow you to create content, edit content and see some of the limited features of the Drupal CMS. Administrators to the site, of course, have much more access and control over the content and design. To preview the full administration section of the site, where you can control layout, additional content and various other aspects of the CMS, please contact us for a username and password. There is no obligation to test to the site, and we would be happy to walk you through a complete demo at your convenience.
