Drupal Web Hosting & Support

Do you want a website, but don't know how to get started? For start-up sites, we recommend using the powerful Content Management System (CMS), Drupal.

A CMS like Drupal makes it easy to manage your content through your internet browser, so that you don't have to learn a lot of fancy code. In the past few years, Drupal has become widely popular and is used on hundreds of thousands of websites world wide, including the official White House website. One reason why Drupal is so powerful and popular is that it uses "modules" that are contributed by thousands of experienced programmers world-wide. Modules are plugins for Drupal that extend or enhance Drupal core functionality, or add new functionality. A list of all contributed modules can be found at http://drupal.org/project/modules.

We have written about Drupal (and Drupal terminology such as modules) in our Wiki, so to learn more, you can visit http://www.smoothstoneservices.com/wiki/drupal.
