NDP Blog

A few years ago our long heritage working with charities and not-for-profits saw us beginning to work in a slightly different - but related - sector: membership organisations and Royal Colleges.

We've just launched a beautiful, responsive product catalogue on Drupal 8.

There’s been loads of Headless (or decoupled) CMS chat knocking about for a good few years now so we can be pretty confident that it is a Cool and Interesting Thing, at least for developers.

But what about for your business?

At NDP we often work with clients who need to integrate back office systems (such as bookings, ecommerce and CRM) with their website. In this post we’ll look at how we approach projects with this requirement, and how they can be architected in Drupal with robust engineering for a predictable and future-proof delivery.

H5P is an open source framework based on JavaScript and is a great way to create interactive HTML5 content.  They have a large number of libraries that enable you to create different types of interactive content all through your browser.  They refer to the libraries as content types NOT to be confused with Drupal’s very own content types!

Drop Guard is a continuous security solution for Drupal.  It is a service that can automate or at least part-automate the tasks of keeping a Drupal site up to date, a task that we all know is important but few of us actually enjoy.  Automating updates can help you meet client SLA’s as well as releasing valuable developer time.  

Designers are curious people by nature, and maybe that’s what explains the neverending will to find new tools that will help them exteriorise ideas and best execute their craft. With that said, let’s talk about my experience with Sketch and how moving away from the classic CS pack can help to improve the design workflow. 

Last week I went to the Futurestack conference hosted by New Relic.
