A Content Management System is a website that allows you to manage, edit and publish content in a consistently organized way without special software or knowledge of programming.  While there are literally thousands of different content managment systems that range in form, function and capability, Variant Studios specializes in website development using a particular CMS called Drupal.

Taking this approach has many unprecedented advantages in website development:

• Future-proof: Un-restricted Functionality and Scalability
  Add event calendars, podcasts, video, contact forms, online payments, membership registration, surveys, forums, photo galleries, etc.
• The same system that is capable of powering a simple blog is also capable of powering the most complex high-traffic websites.
• Manage your own content
  Log in and edit the content of your site — without special software or knowledge of code — from anywhere in the world from a web browser
• Never Obsolete
  With periodic maintenance and updates, your Drupal CMS can be updated and new features added - removes the need to ever "start-over"

Your site needs to be a CMS

As the web progresses, keeping the content of your site updated and relevant becomes is increasingly important.  The freshness of your website content can directly impact its search engine placement, and new content gives visitors a reason to return to your site. 

If you currently own a stale, "static" website, you know that to add new pages or update existing pages within your site, you have to send the change request to your site developer, and wait for them to make the updates — which delays the release of new content. Depending on your website company, these updates may also be very costly.

For this reason, Content Managment Systems (CMS) have become increasingly popular with individuals, organizations and businesses large and small.

Why We've Chosen Drupal

On the web today, there are literally thousands of different Content Managment Systems, which vary in cost, widespread usage and functionality. The more popular of these Content Manament Systems include Joomla, Drupal and WordPress.  

After years of experience working with these different Content Management Systems, Variant Studios has chosen to specialize in site development using the Drupal CMS not only because of its incredible flexibility and security, but also because of its very active and generous community of developers.

We believe Drupal goes beyond simply being an Open Source Content Managment System in that it has literally become a platform for rapid development and deployment of extremely powerful websites, and many companies would agree with us.  Some of the most well-known companies and organizations in the nation use the Drupal "platform," including, Harvard, Sony and even the United States government.  Click here for a more complete list of sites deployed using the Drupal CMS: http://buytaert.net/tag/drupal-sites.

Powerful Interactive Features

Beyond merely adding content to the site, the Drupal CMS gives developers the flexbility to easily add features at any time.
