Aside from iPHONE and ANDROID development, I also specialize in DRUPAL development as a web portal system. DRUPAL is a very sophisticated PHP based CMS (Content Management System) and it complements MOBILE APPS very nicely. I chose DRUPAL because it has evolved in to a publishing culture as much as a very elegant development framework. This web site uses DRUPAL 6. Other Web Sites using DRUPAL include:
- http://www.whitehouse.gov/

- Warner Brothers Records
- The Discovery Channel
- Forbes
- The Grateful Dead

The Most impressive endorsement of the DRUPAL CMS system include the IMF ( International Monetary Fund) who created the Open Atrium Project, World Bank and http://whitehouse.gov . These organizations have limitless budgets, extremely high technical and artistic standards, Scalability issues among the most demanding on the INTERNET and Zero Tolerance for error.
They chose DRUPAL because it is one of the best Internet Solutions available at any price.
My first exposure to DRUPAL was the HOWARD DEAN for president Campaign in 2004. DEAN, a relatively unknown 6 term Governor of Vermont and Doctor, was the first politician to effectively use an Internet strategy to build a grass roots campaign.
http://en.wikipedia.org
"In July, the Democratic fund-raising numbers for the second quarter of 2003 were reported and announced. Howard Dean surprised many raising $7.5 million, John Kerry raised $6 million, while John Edwards and Joseph Lieberman raised roughly $5 million each. Dean's strength as a fund-raiser was attributed mainly to his innovative embrace of the Internet for campaigning. The majority of his donations came from individual Dean supporters, who came to be known as Deanites, or, more commonly, Deaniacs. His campaign's innovative use of the Internet helped to build a strongly supportive grassroots constituency, much of which remained intensely loyal to him long after the end of his candidacy."
Dean was not successful in getting the Democratic Nomination, but his DRUPAL strategy created a political force with over 600,000 email opt-in’s, $52 million in contributions as well as breaking the record on the number of Small ( sub $25 donations) donations. Using DRUPAL and Social Networking, DEAN was able to deliver concise, detailed and animated messages to his supporters and prospective voters with out TV networks. Political Insiders took note of Dean’s success and made him DNC chair, responsible for fundraising and message delivery. Today, a DRUPAL ( or something close) and Social Networking strategy is Standard Operating Procedure for any serious campaign.
The DRUPAL strategy can be used for any marketing and promotions projects. As part of my personal project to start an online publishing company, DRUPAL is the first Leg of my three leg strategy. The other two being Mobile and Social networking. And I want to assist you
