I'm sure most of you who are reading this are in love with Drupal and so am I. But I'm about to share with you one of the hard learned lessons about Drupal. That is, sometimes not doing it in Drupal is a better idea.

Henry Ford had a vision based on customer demand. In 1908 the Model T was introduced to the world and produced in a small, rented factory on Mack Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. Early models were produced at a rate of only a few a day by groups of two or three men working on each car. By 1913, Ford Motor Company had not only increased its man power, but also increased its efficiency by creating a moving assembly line which boosted annual production to 202,667 that year. Henry Ford’s vision and the Model T’s demand had developed the basic techniques of mass production.

It’s no secret that website development has changed over the past decade. As new technologies arise and competition increases, the ability to significantly improve user interaction, site performance and content management have become paramount to many corporate websites.

I’ve seen optometry websites with fonts so small I could barely read the content – I have 20/15 vision. I’ve implemented usability tests on sites where not one audience member could complete seemingly simple tasks. Do you think these sites were built with their audience in mind?

Drupal is a free, robust content management framework that is maintained by thousands of enthusiastic web developers, designers, strategists and project managers. Its advantages over other open-source CMSs and proprietary systems make it the ideal solutions for most organizations looking to leverage years of experience and thousands of hours of free development. You would think Drupal sells itself, but unfortunately in an industry and economy where many agencies will tell customers whatever it takes to win a project; selling Drupal can be a difficult task.

Hi all, I'm the "new guy" here at LevelTen. I've been added to the team here as a site builder/developer and am very excited to get started.

As a bit of an introduction, I'm a bit of a wanderer and have lived over 8 years of my life in Asia. I most recently lived in Indonesia for 4 years. Three of those I taught HS computers at an International School and the last I was doing tsunami relief after the big tsunami of 2004.
