One of the reasons Drupal is so powerful and will continue to grow is the vision. The vision manifests itself in two primary ways: the code and the community.

LevelTen's very own distribution of Drupal, the iSite Essentials CMS, has made the list of Top Rated Drupal Distributions on Drupal Distro Watch. iSite Essentials is included with some very exclusive company, including the Acquia distribution, Pressflow, and Development Seed's Open Atrium.

A few recent clients requested image galleries to feature their projects on their new Drupal websites. Last year, we had similar requests and looked for modules that would meet the client’s requirements, but we could not find anything that worked well enough to keep them happy.

After consulting with a few Drupal experts, I was lead to believe there are not any.
