Once you have made the decision to use the Drupal open-source platform for your website, the next decision is to choose the right Drupal web developer team. This is of critical importance as it is going to have a significant impact on the website look, feel and design.
Some companies or teams only work on smaller projects, while, other developers and development teams may have created websites for large corporations, government entities, educational institutes and multinational organizations.
Whilst using a search engine to find Drupal web developers the sheer number of results could be staggering. Narrowing down your search to include only the most experienced, professional and creative developers could prove to be time consuming but it could be cut short with a selection strategy.
Look for exclusive Drupal web developers
There are some companies offering a wide range of different development services for a variety of different platforms. While these professionals may be very good at what they do, they simply will not have the experience and expertise that exclusive Drupal web developers have.
This is very similar to any specialized service. If quality and expertise is important then working with a specialist is always preferable to working with a generalist. Drupal, while being one of the most flexible platforms, does have its own inherent issues when developers start to override components for customization. Not understanding what can and cannot be done through this process can often result in long delays in getting the website functioning correctly.
Services offered by
The old saying about comparing apples to apples is essential when choosing between Drupal web developers. No matter how many specialized services a development team offers if they do not cover the basics they are not going to be effective in making the necessary changes.
On the other hand, finding specialized web developers that have the experience, expertise and understanding of the Drupal API (Application Programming Interface) and also offer extra features such as the theme customization, testing and user training will add real value.
One very effective way to learn about the past projects completed by Drupal web developers is to spend some time browsing their portfolio of past work. Take the time to look at those websites and click through the pages. This will provide a good prelude for the type of work the company can provide as well as what they produce as a final, completed project.
