We're looking for a PHP developer to join our team in Denver. This will begin as a freelance position, with flexible but close to full-time hours through at least June and July. We're hopeful that the position grows into something long-term, provided we find a good-fit developer.

In spite of this, the solutions widely available today are horrible.

On Becoming a Drupal Development Shop

Justin's picture

Published by Justin

Two years ago we began working with Drupal. Before then, our content management implementations were dominated by our own PHP/MySQL-based CMS, which itself was the result of several years of development, revision, and rewriting. Since we began working with Drupal two years ago, we haven't launched a single project using our own CMS. And we never will again.

Not My Baby

I am all about process. I love process. I feel secure knowing that when I finish one step, there's another step right there waiting for me. Having a solid process is liberating, allowing you to focus more on what you're doing, and less on what you should be doing.
