Project Planning, Analysis & Specification

Do you have a great business idea, but not sure how the technical details of the website will pan out?  We have planned and launched custom web applications; SitePals will tell you the best existing open source code available and analyze what to build on and what new features you’ll need custom coded. We can create documents, project stages and specifications needed to launch a successful website. If you just have an idea or you’re still in the conceptual phase, we can let you know time frames, cost and what it will take to bring that to reality.

Graphic Design, Branding and Conceptual Development

We create graphic art, mockups, design and full layouts using the latest standards and software like Photoshop and Illustrator. Examples of our work ranges from logos, high-impact call to action graphics, custom themes, full page ads, to Facebook branding. We value beauty and high quality graphic design at all stages in the development of a SitePals project.

Theme & User Interface (UI) Design

Theme and UI design control what the user sees, what they click, how they search for content, what the results look like, how posts, content, how galleries videos and images are displayed.

Drupal has one of the most powerful theming engines in the world allows you to finely tune and beautify the user experience. From simple clean sites to ornate modern master pieces, SitePals specializes in high quality design. We’ve built graphical control for online games, social networks and sales sites. Make your site beautiful and get the look you want and your users will thank you. Present a professional image and your site will get more links and have a lower “exit rate”.

Multimedia Integration & Design

Gone are the days of pure text websites with long articles and tiny fonts. Today’s modern website has video, images, audio, slideshows and other content. SitePals can help with the creation, organization, and management for your content. We can create smart displays for how your users will interact and experience your site.

Custom Programming & Module Development

Some of our clients want their website to do a lot more than just display content and publish information. By using existing open source modules and customizing (scripting), you’ll run into limitations; in order to really get unique features, custom modules must be written. Drupal with custom modules has been used to power diverse web applications that do everything from gaming to banking. Our programmers have years of experience writing code, debugging and creating new features; in short you can get a unique and maintainable web application that’s faster and more inexpensive to produce.

Data Migration and Reformatting

It’s very common for clients to want to move existing users, posts, and other data from an older website to their new beautiful Drupal web application. SitePals has performed large-scale data and content migrations successfully for companies that are upgrading to Drupal from old custom systems like Cold Fusion, or other platforms like WordPress, that lacks Drupal’s upgradability and feature-rich framework. Whatever your old existing website is built upon, SitePals can help move the old database to the new site, making the transitional period as seamless and painless as possible.

Scalability & Performance

Everyone wants a fast website. Though Drupal may have many advantages out of the box, blazing speed is not included. To really make Drupal soar, it needs to be heavily optimized, which requires a series of techniques for each feature and function your website will have. In addition, you’ll need to plan on what to do as your website grows. SitePals optimizes Drupal to run fast and scale up, so you can count on your Drupal site working the way you want further down the road.

For Drupal to work efficiently and be able to grow to accommodate high member and website activity, it needs to be set up and optimized on a quality hosting server. SitePals can help you choose a host, administer the software and prepare for the present and the future of your Drupal website’s success.

Drupal Tech Support and Training

We can teach you Drupal and how to operate and maintain a Drupal website to keep it working perfectly and looking fresh. If something breaks on the site, we are available to fix it and can setup ongoing support and maintenance. SitePals is here to support and train you, long after the initial launch.
