Advanced Alarm

Advanced Alarm outline – http://www.advancedalarm.net

Below is a list of ways we will improve your website.  Please let us know what features you do and do not need.  Also, a rough estimate of your budget would be nice.  Once we have this information we can create a new plan of action.  If your budget does not quite fit your required features, then we can adjust our plan.  We are always open to new ideas and questions.  Thanks!

Step #1
Install Drupal

Your current website is made using e107. E107 is a content management system (CMS). We use Drupal.  Drupal is a web application framework with CMS capabilities. This means that it is extremely flexible and therefore requires extensive setup.
  
Drupal runs popular sites such as http://www.Whitehouse.gov, http://www.examiner.com , http://www.mtv.co.uk , http://www.fastcompany.com/ , http://appel.nasa.gov/  http://www.popsci.com/ (popular science), http://www.theonion.com/ ,  http://www.greenpeace.com  , http://www.jenniferlopez.com/  and many others.

There are over 10,000 developers for the Drupal system.  New modules and features are created every day.  This means your website's security and effeciency of your code will expand indefintely.

To see a list of what Drupal can do go here: http://drupal.org/project/Modules

Upon completion of the project, you will easily be able to manage and add content to your website (without help from us).  We will provide video tutorials explaining how to add content (even though it is easy).  Here are a few examples (PROVIDE VIDEO LINKS)  If not you can always call us back OR there are 10,000’s of Drupal web developers (& growing) whom can pick up your project where we left off.
