Security is one of the elements of infrastructure configuration, which is very often overlooked. Often administrators focus on delivering functionality and fulfilling requirements, while not caring about securing the infrastructure against attacks, believing that it's probably going to be fine.

Even an experienced designer can meet some common problems when creating a website, as there are many challenges to overcome. For instance, when it comes to displaying the website properly across various devices. Are there any effective ways to make things easier?  The number of devices people use nowadays to browse the internet is a nightmare for web developers and designers. That’s why, before you decide to publish your site, you need to test its responsiveness first.

What to do with an old, outdated website that you would like to keep online? The perfect solution is to archive it to pure HTML code. We will demonstrate it on the example of a drupalcamp.pl website created in Droopler, based on Drupal. Why archive pages at all? Sometimes websites have their expiration date. It may result from the life cycle of the technology used to build it or simply because the website was created for an event or some special occasion.

Websites play an increasingly important role on the Internet, sometimes even generating huge profits. Even the smallest interruptions in their operation can cause losses amounting to hundreds or even thousands of dollars. That is why when performing Drupal development services we attach great importance to ensuring that our work is as reliable as possible. How?

At Droptica, a very important role is played by the servers, where we host websites and applications developed by us. By implementing Infrastructure as Code in our company, we have managed to increase the stability and availability of services and optimise the time necessary to implement changes in the infrastructure.

React.js is a very popular JavaScript framework created by Facebook. It allows you to build beautiful, interactive and fast interfaces, with which users will fall in love. Drupal, on the other hand, is a fantastic CMS with you can build small, medium and huge websites.   Sometimes you want to pair the two frameworks together - offer sophisticated Drupal backend, and a slick, quick frontend based on React.

Droptica is a Drupal agency. In our work we very often find ourselves building corporate websites on Drupal. Not to reinvent the wheel every time every single time, we created Droopler. Droopler is a state-of-the-art open-source tool for building websites, built on the latest version of Drupal. The system has been designed in order to enable easy and flexible modification of content that looks great on every device.

After the deployment of our Drupal development agency's new websites – droptica.pl and droptica.com – in mid-2016, we decided to improve a few things related to content optimisation, page loading speed and SEO. At the end of the year, we carried out a technical Drupal SEO audit, which enabled us to detect a certain number of shortcomings. While at it, we decided to implement the solutions recommended by Google.

In one of our previous articles, we showed you how to configure CKEditor in Drupal 8. Using the available UI is great, but sometimes clients require additional functionality.

Projects implemented by Droptica often require a large amount of coding in PHP. Taking advantage of various tool and configurations allows us to streamline the process and make it far more convenient and pleasant. In this post, we wanted to share our experiences and describe an ideal software configuration for coding in PHP (mainly in Drupal, since we are a Drupal agency). The base software that we use includes Linux (most people use Ubuntu) and PHPStorm as IDE.
