website development

Steve was recently invited to write a guest blog post for CiviCRM, the open-source constituent relationship management system that powers Caravan. 

Building out a complex Drupal website can often lead to a tangled web of content types, modules, permissions and views. To keep track of it all, we’ve developed a handy tool we call the “User/Feature Matrix”. It’s a straightforward spreadsheet that guides us through planning, development, and QA, ensuring our clients get everything on their wish list.

On occasion it is necessary to export a project to a file system that is not case sensitive.

Often we developers are handed brown-field projects that have one or more common, morale-crushing problems that I outlined in a previous post—in fact this is probably the most common case because developers will very rarely abandon a project that is going well.

We're looking for a few good developers. Please check out our job posting on Dice, and pass it along if you know anyone.

Most of the serious thought that goes into producing websites is given to either how to meet deadlines (i.e. project management) or how to actually build the website (architecture and programming).
