Welcome to our blog. We're sharing knowledge in the areas which fascinate us the most.

Introducing changes to a website is the moment when the client's website is most vulnerable to errors. Many jokes shared among developers relate to implementations made before important dates.

There is a lot of talk about headless CMSes and headless Drupal on the market. The customers are considering choosing this path. Some are however not certain what headless means and what are the pros and cons. When should headless Drupal be used? Let me explain.

Corporate websites are often large and packed with many different functionalities. This makes building a website very time-consuming and, consequently, expensive. At Droptica, we have developed a way to build a corporate website on Drupal faster and cheaper. From this article, you will learn how we do it.

There are almost a million websites built on Drupal. The websites built on Drupal are growing ever bigger. In fact, Drupal is the main CMS contender if you want to build a big website and don't want to use expensive proprietary platforms. Website generators, headless CMSes and Digital Experience Platforms architected by massive corporations, all are built on Drupal. Drupal, however, is a complex framework.

More and more software development companies (and not only those) start to move to a remote work setup. On one hand, it is the mark of current times, on the other - a result of recent global changes. The Covid19 pandemic is just a catalyst of the changes. It is also a test of how well the companies are prepared for the new situation. Remote work setup is something completely different to companies for which it was always part of the culture and something else for those who suddenly have to redefine all their working habits.

Droptica had 2 offices from the first day of operations. Since the beginning, we organized work so that our team of Drupal experts can be effective from any location. Today especially this is clear that remote-first setup benefits us greatly. Let me show you how a typical day in Droptica looks like and what tools we use for remote work. The benefits and the risks Remote work is an incredible benefit and a time saver.

In Droptica, we have been a company working remotely since the beginning. Some of our employees work in cities in which we do not have offices, some travelled the world while continuing their day to day job. All this while providing the best Drupal support and Drupal development services possible.  Remote work, however, is not as easy as just having a laptop at home.

With the proliferation of technology, wide access for fast internet and the changing shopping habits of customers, companies place more and more focus on the way they interact with customers on-line. The term “digital customer experience” is more and more often used. Companies no longer want to build corporate websites but look for a holistic approach and try to create digital experience platforms to the digital experience. In the middle of that is the digital customer.

Paraphrasing the Bard's masterpiece, one might ask the question: “to outsource or not to outsource?” I have a suspicion – bordering on certainty, however – that you have repeatedly wondered whether the work on a project of creating a website for a client could be made easier with the help of a software development company.

Your company has a complex website to create. Drupal was chosen as the main technology. None of the PHP developers have done anything in Drupal before or they have little experience. If this is your case, read this text before starting the development of your project. You will learn the risks and you will be better prepared to start the works.  Below you will find 9 important things to take a look at before launching the programming works.
