Advomatic - Drupal Development, Hosting, Support, and Consulting – Advomatic builds websites for good causes using the open source content management system Drupal

"I need a new website, now what?"

You wouldn't hire a contractor to build your house without hiring an architect first. The same applies to websites. We can help you turn your vision into reality through our research and discovery process. Advomatic's team will guide you through the planning process from A to Z, creating all of the documents and information you'll need to have your site built.

As with any CMS, design for Drupal requires understanding how the platform works – on the presentation layer, at the code level, and in the user’s hands. Familiarity with “the Drupal way” is a prerequisite to efficient, usable user interfaces that will save you considerable time and money during development.

Our Planning Process
Advomatic has developed a structured planning process with proven results, greatly reducing project risk and generating consistent, high quality results. In this Discovery Phase we gather business and technical requirements, work with designers to develop the user interface and visual design, site maps, wireframes, design comps, and create technical specification documents. The planning culminates in an implementation plan which includes a detailed line by line breakdown of the cost to build each component of the site.
