Open Source & Drupal

Websites built with open source technologies offer significant cost savings over home-grown and proprietary systems. In addition to being free to use, open source software projects are widely supported and are maintained by a vast network of developers. They can't go obsolete or go out of business overnight.

Technivant is committed to the ideals of the open source movement: freedom, cooperation, open standards and superior code. That's why we have selected Drupal as our web development platform of choice. Over the years, we've used a lot of technologies, but Drupal has it all -- a rock solid core platform, an enormous developer community, and hundreds of pluggable modules to extend the functionality of your site without having to resort to custom programming. Contact us to learn what Drupal can do for you.

Owner-Friendly Websites

We know web design and development - you know your content. Every website owner wants to be able to control their content. That's why every site we build comes with an integrated content management system (CMS). Our goal is to make your site so easy to use that even non-technical members of your team can take over day-to-day administration, thus greatly reducing the cost of maintaining your site.

Therefore, it's essential that you know how to use the site I've built. Prior to hand-off, we thoroughly document all the ins and outs of your site and then sit down with you to review this documentation and answer your questions.

Project Management

Every client receives a clearly articulated cost estimate and a written contract detailing exactly what will be accomplished.

We believe in proactively managing issues before they can impact the project budget. That's why for each client, we establish a secure project website to present design mockups, manage change requests, and discuss enhancements. This collaboration tool is not meant to replace face-to-face meetings, but rather enhance overall communication
