Drupal expertise, support and training

Ardea is an expert in building websites with Drupal. Every website has its own unique characteristics, and Ardea can configure a new website and write the necessary code to meet your requirements.

Why Ardea

Ardea builds functional and fast websites. We test that your new website works in the most common browsers and mobile platforms, and ensure high accessibility and user satisfaction through user-friendly design.

Best practices

Our websites are responsive, so they work on all platforms. We put security first by following the guidelines for building secure websites, including keeping appearance (template files) and code separate so that logic and presentation are not mixed up, which also future-proofs the website.

Drupal

We follow Drupal's best practices and build functionality with existing stable modules as much as possible and hold back on adding modules. The website becomes slow if there are many modules and they need to be maintained. We use the most stable modules, which future-proofs the website.

GDPR, user data and third-party scripts

We focus on respecting the user's right to privacy and avoid embedding third-party scripts, fonts and cookies or collecting user data for third parties as much as possible. We can help you follow the GDPR guidelines from the EU.

Training, Support and Hosting

A website isn't finished the day it goes live. To get the most out of your investment, Ardea offers training and documentation on the Drupal websites we build so you get the most out of your new website. We also offer a Drupal support agreement, with combined user support and ongoing security updates for a fixed fee. One-on-one training in the Drupal universe is also an option, where we help you towards best practices in terms of module selection, theme customization, and similar challenges.

Search engine optimization

A high search engine ranking is achieved by Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Drupal is basically good when it comes to search engine optimization and has semantically correct code, but can easily be extended to include meta data such as Meta Description, which appears in search engine results. Running an online campaign can be an additional tool to drive traffic to your website, but an actively participating social media profile on Facebook and Twitter is more effective in the long run.
