In a recent post by Seth Godin, he talks about the internet giving you control over your job. A musician can now produce music and spread it to the right people more easily than before. The same is true for a writer, and for every business out there. If you are wondering how to make this happen, the first step is to harness control of your website.

A Platform for Growth

If you're looking to invest in a web platform that will be there for your company for years to come, Drupal is the way to go. Its core foundation is designed to handle every module and custom feature built into it that a business needs to succeed. There is no limit to the modules, custom or otherwise that you can have on the site.

The number of companies using Drupal has increased dramatically in the last few years:

The Perfect Development Team

While Drupal comes nearly finished upon a simple install, the last 20% is what makes it ready for your company. Finding the right team that understands your needs is crucial to getting the right website. A development team should not only know how to program a solid website using Drupal, but also how that translates into furthering your business goals:

• Tools that measure traffic and engagement
• Features that improve the user experience
• An interface that feels like second nature
• A backend that empowers your content editors

Once you find this team, building a relationship with them is important. You may have a beautiful website from them now, but you will need maintenance and changes in the future that they can execute. This team should also train you to use the website so you can be in charge.

Are You Ready?

If you are ready to take control of your website and build it on a platform that will only improve, find the right development team. A development team that understands your business goals enough to turn them into the website is a team worth the time and money invested now and in the future.
