Maybe you want to convert an existing static site to something more dynamic; maybe you have a brilliant design mocked-up in photoshop or fireworks. Let us turn your work into your very own Drupal theme.

Converting an existing site

If you already have an operational site, turning its design into a Drupal theme involves a few quick steps.

First we analyze your site, and determine which Drupal modules you'll need to install in order to re-create (or improve) functionality. Our in-depth knowledge of Drupal's capabilities makes this a fast process.

Once we know which modules you'll need, we customize the Drupal template files required for the job. Given the strict separation of code and content adhered to by Drupal, this too is a usually quick work.

Finally, we remap your existing style sheets so that classes and such are properly hooked into Drupal's php template files. We package css-related graphics into a proper theme directory, and show you how to embed content-related images in Drupal pages.

Converting designer mockups

If you're starting with a photoshop or fireworks site mockup, we begin by factoring the full page presentation into its logical pieces. Again, we analyze your needs to determine which Drupal components will be required to run your site, and we build the necessary template files.

Then we code the CSS style sheets needed to bring your site to life. We adhere to strict XHTML and CSS standards, ensuring that your site functions perfectly across all major browsers.

Implementing your new Drupal theme

If you're experienced with Drupal, you already know how easy it is to activate a new theme.

If you're new to Drupal - or to content management systems in general - we're happy to install your newly-converted theme and populate a few pages. We know you'll catch on quickly, and you'll wonder how on earth you ran a website without Drupal; but we're available for support if you run into problems.

We document every Drupal theme carefully. If you have any html/css background, you'll find it easy to alter or update your site as your vision and requirements change.
