Most Growing Venture Solutions projects are based upon the Drupal system. Drupal is known as a high quality Content Management System, a Community Building Framework, and a Web Application Framework.
Features
- Users edit the site directly in their browser. If you want to change the wording on the home page, you just log in and change it. If you have used an online email system - you can edit your site.
- You can have multiple users creating and editing content on the site. This removes a bottleneck of a single "web developer" having to do everything for you
- Standard compliance and advanced features such as RSS are built in to the system - you may not be using RSS yet, but in just a few years it is quickly becoming a standard for getting news from sites.
Support and "Lock In"
There are literally thousands of people and companies that provide Support, Training, and consulting for Drupal. Because it's open source, you don't have to worry about your vendor locking you into their proprietary system.
Open Source
There has been lots of discussion about Open Source software in recent years and here's the part that I think is most interesting to my customers - you are getting the benefit of thousands of other testers, users, and developers using this product. Generally speaking the quality of the systems is very competitive with proprietary systems without all the extra cost or vendor lock-in.
