Why we suggest Drupal to Maidstone clients

Community & Support

Drupal has a large and active community of developers, designers, and users who contribute to its ongoing development. This community-driven ecosystem ensures continual innovations that follow best practices.

Total cost of ownership

While the initial setup and development costs of Drupal websites and software vary depending on project complexity, the long-term TCO can be significantly lower compared to proprietary CMSs. Drupal has no licensing fees and ongoing support from the community which makes Drupal a cost-effective solution.

Flexibility & Scalability

Drupal is known for its flexibility and scalability, making it suitable for building anything from small websites to large enterprise-level platforms. Its modular architecture allows developers to customise and extend functionality as needed.

Integration Capabilities

Drupal integrates well with other systems and platforms, allowing for seamless connectivity with third-party services, APIs, and data sources. This makes it suitable for building complex, interconnected ecosystems.

Accessibility

Drupal has a strong commitment to accessibility standards, ensuring that websites built on the platform are accessible to users with disabilities. This makes it a preferred choice for organisations that prioritise inclusivity and compliance with accessibility regulations.

Open source

Developers can openly share improvements and innovations that benefit all of our clients and others who are part of the Drupal ecosystem from Kent to all around the globe.

Security

Drupal has a strong focus on security and regularly releases updates to address vulnerabilities and ensure the integrity of websites built on the platform. Its dedicated and unrivalled security team actively monitors for threats and provides patches and updates as needed.

Robust Content Management

Drupal offers powerful content management capabilities, including content types, taxonomies, and revision control. It allows for the creation of complex content structures and workflows, making it suitable for content-rich websites and applications.

Multilingual Support

Drupal provides robust multilingual support out-of-the-box, making it suitable for building websites and applications that need to cater to a global audience with content available in multiple languages.

Our experience with Pivale has been seamless and enjoyable from the beginning. We set the task of building new websites for our 5 Australian clinics plus one clinic site in Singapore and the global corporate site. The Pivale team were quick to find a solution that not only saved us time but also halved the cost to build 7 traditional websites. They listened to our requirements, and were able to adapt and optimise at every stage. Nothing was ever off the table.
