Who is a Drupal site right for?

Who needs a content management system (CMS)? A lot of people, but not everyone. Many site owners have no need for powerful web publishing platforms, and will be fine with a few simple, static web pages. Others may benefit from a powerful site, but lack the ability โ€“ or desire โ€“ to administer a complex setup.

Web site owners have different expectations, goals, and administration-related skills. Here's where a Drupal site by Wagaya fits in:

The hands-off web owner: At one end of the scale is the traditional web site owner. You want a site, but aren't looking to maintain and build it yourself; that's a task for your outsourced web partner, or the "web guy" in that cubicle with all the big screens. You're happy to hand over control to the experts.

The do-it-yourself-er: At the other end of the scale is the technically-minded, DIY web site owner. You know exactly what you want, and how to build it yourself โ€“ or you're willing to learn how, and have the technical chops to do so with reasonable time and effort. You don't need Wagaya or anyone else to set things up for you.

The in-between web manager: Wagaya offers service to clients in between those two poles: those who want the fantastic ability to edit, manage, and grow their own sites, at their own pace, but don't have the knowledge or time to install and set up a complex web publishing platform.

Specifically, the client for a Wagaya site is a would-be site owner who:

  1. Wants a flexible site that can grow over time.
  2. Wants the benefits of a powerful, flexible web publishing platform.
  3. Wants to leave the initial difficult installation and setup to an experienced party, and start with a ready-to-go site.
  4. Wants options for ongoing hosting and support.

If that description might fit you, then please contact Wagaya with additional questions.
