Webvanta for Drupal Users
The Power Without the Pain
Drupal is one of the top open-source content management systems. It can be extensively customized, and there is a large and vibrant community of developers.
Drupal Is Best When: |
Webvanta Is Best When: |
|---|---|
| You love writing PHP code | You'd prefer to leave the back-end coding to someone else |
| You have a budget of $10K - $30K to build the site, separate from design | You like the idea of getting started with little or no up-front cost |
| You want full access to all the software running on your server, and you're willing to keep it all updated and secure | You'd prefer to have professional programmers keep the server updated and secure |
| You get a thrill from the text message on your phone at 3:00 AM telling you that your server is down | You like the idea of someone else being responsible for keeping the server running |
| You enjoy setting up backups and recovery plans, and making sure they run properly, indefinitely. | You'd like the peace of mind of knowing that everything is properly backed up, on- and off-site |
Drupal is widely used for the same sorts of sites as Webvanta. But Drupal sites are almost always managed by someone who is a developer at heart, not a designer. When we talk with designers who are managing Drupal sites on their own, they're either exceptional people with both developer and designer talents, or they're unhappy.
We created Webvanta to make designers happy:
- You can have a prototype site live on the web in less than an hour. Creating custom database structures is just a matter of filing in a form that describes the information on your site.
- You can use the same tools you use today to create designs in HTML and CSS. Then deploy that code on Webvanta and easily integrate the CMS and database capabilities. There's no rigid theme system whose structure you need to adapt to: Webvanta fits into your code, not the other way around.
- With Webvanta, you can build sophisticated, database-driven sites on your own, slashing thousands of dollars from the cost of setting up a site and eliminating the loss of control that comes with depending on others to change things on the back end.
- Webvanta is a hosted, managed service. You'll never again have to worry about security patches, backups, site monitoring, or system administration. You create the content and design for your site, and we deliver it, with a reliable, flexible back-end system that you can customize easily through our web-based control panel.
