Technology

At Evolving Web we stay on top of the technology we use. Your site will be developed in manner that is efficient, well-integrated, and forward-thinking. When the development process is over, you will have a site that can continue to grow and change with you.

Drupal is at the core of every site we build (no pun intended). We focus on Drupal, because we feel it serves our clients the best.

Drupal is an open source content management system (CMS). It comes with many exciting features out-of-the-box and allows website administrators to easily edit content with a text editor. Learn whether Drupal is right for you.

The technology in a Drupal site, however, goes beyond Drupal itself, to include favorites such as:

CSS and XHTML

We build custom themes with CSS and XHTML, which gives each website a consistent look and feel. All of our design and development is done with respect for web standards and best practices. Take a look at http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS.

jQuery

JQuery allows us to create slick user interface features. It is our tool of choice for animating menus and images. For more information, visit http://jquery.com.

Solr

Solr is an advanced search tool that we use to make our clients’ websites accessible. When you have a lot of information, it’s important for users to be able to narrow it down to see only the items they need. For more information on how Solr can help, see http://lucene.apache.org/solr.

OpenCalais

For our larger sites, OpenCalais is a tool that helps us organize information. OpenCalais analyzes a website’s content, and suggests ways to tag items. We can use those tags to sort, filter, and display information in almost any way you can imagine. To read more, visit http://www.opencalais.com.
