Did you know that some of the most visited  websites in the world are built on Drupal?

DogHouse Media sites are built in Drupal, the open source framework that offers more flexibility, allowing us to more effectively customise solutions to meet our client’s needs. We are recognised as leaders in Drupal development and we leverage off the Drupal development community to bring our clients the most powerful and up to date web technology.

Open source is a unique process, as it means the system is not proprietary i.e owned by one organisation, rather it is built, used and supported by an active and diverse community of people around the world. It is free, flexible, robust and constantly being improved by hundreds of thousands of passionate people from all over the world.

There are an amazing array of Drupal users and success stories out there. Drupal has been applied to everything from small community portals to publishing, E-commerce, directories and even aficionado sites (where one person just shares their enthusiasm for a particular topic).

However, it is the large commercial organisations that give the open source model the traction it needs, both in terms of resources and dollars but also profile and longevity. It is the time that these organisations spend in development that helps refine the model. It  is this same time that they invest that ensures the sites are adaptable and flexible for the  long haul. These organisations don’t re-build their sites every year, they build them to last and meet their business goals.

So we thought we’d put our heads together and come up with our Top 10 examples of world famous organisations that have built there sites in Drupal .. so drum roll please here it is...
