Total Control Package™ Powered by Drupal
The Total Control Package™ Powered by Drupal
Have you ever looked at a site like CNN or Zappos and thought, "I would love to have a website that is as comprehensive and powerful as that one."
But the two roadblocks that immediately jump to mind are:
- Cost - "Only a corporation or someone with serious capital could afford a site like that."
- Upkeep- "I'd need a staff of five including an expensive web guy to keep up a site like that."
However, just like what the movable type printing press did for books, content management systems (CMS) are changing the way that people think about and develop content for the internet. With the firepower of a CMS you will have the be able to edit any content on the fly, create extremely complicated content with simple, fool-proof forms, and that's just the start.
Let's say you want to sell an online workout program with coaching.
If you were using a traditional website, you would need:
- a shopping cart program so you could sell products and memberships
- the ability to differentiate between members and non-members
- a web designer to add a steady flow of new content to the site
- a support ticketing program to handle all of the coaching requests
That's a lot of balls to juggle, and a lot of different programs with different interfaces and different administration methods. It's like being in a food court. Sure, there's pretty much everything you could want, but it's all medicore and disconnected from each other.
With Drupal, it is like if someone gave you a twenty page questionnaire and from that created the perfect restaurant with the perfect atmosphere and the exact food you want to eat.
The workout website running a Drupal installation would then become:
- a core installation that handles all of your basic pages and user logins
- a simple interface to create different user roles and unique permissions for each
- a fully integrated shopping cart that allows you to easily sell those user roles
- custom content types that allow you to create new content using simple, idiot-proof forms
While the up-front costs of a Drupal website are 2-5 times more than a regular website, the minimal long-term costs and extreme scalability give you a powerful platform that will truly grow with your business.
If you are serious about starting an online venture or you are ready to do some serious growth of your business utilizing the internet, there is no question that the Total Control Package™ powered by Drupal is absolutely the way to go.
