Strategy and Planning

While our Drupal training teaches the how of website development, Architecture Workshops explore the why and what specifically related to your organization's site needs. Setting digital strategy and carrying that forward to thorough architectural blueprints before development begins ensures your site is built on a firm best practices foundation AND achieves all business and stakeholder objectives.  

Optimizing the Drupal Development Timeline

    We create an in-depth report that incorporates the key findings from the workshop, including architecture user experience requirements that will be fundamental to the successful website launch.
