Content Management Systems

Yesterday’s web sites were built in cumbersome HTML code. Tomorrow’s websites are built using  a content management system (CMS) which offers the advantages of flexibility, cost effectiveness,  ease of adding sophisticated functionality and more effective search engine optimisation.

Even more importantly, if the CMS used to build your site is ‘open source’ it means that it is freely available. There are no contracts or licensing fees and each open source framework offers access to a community of web developers who share application and security solutions.

Doghouse Media CMS 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 one of the leading Drupal developers in Australia and we leverage off the Drupal open source developer community to bring you the most powerful and up to date web technology available worldwide.

 There are currently more than 7,000 Drupal add-on modules available and we can incorporate these into a site as they are, or easily override or change them to create the precise functionality the client requires.

Drupal sites are also simple to change or add new functions to. If your needs change, your site changes with them and you never have to discard the old sites. Furthermore, because Drupal is open source, it is non-proprietary and you are not locked into any web developer in the future.

Drupal also offers inbuilt search engine optimisation features such as outputting well optimised XHTML, strict compliant mark-up and enabling customisable URLs that are both user and search engine friendly.

And because we are Drupal specialists we are also able to fine tune your website to simplify day to day management by your own staff. Our sites are so simple to use and update that only minimal training is required.
