With the rapid rise of social media, multimedia, and rich media content, companies and organizations have enormous stockpiles of digital information assets. They may use these assets for their websites, in advertising and marketing materials, customer engagement programs, and even staff documents and client assets.

So you might be wondering; could Drupal <http://www.affinity-digital.com>  be what you need? Is Drupal actually the right CMS platform for you? Let's find out!

First, keep in mind that Drupal is an enterprise level CMS option. It requires more technical knowledge than WordPress. There are beginner developers that can create interesting sites with Drupal, but they are probably better off with a simpler CMS platform.

Do you have plenty of traffic for your website? Are you satisfied with the number of people visiting your website? Well, if you are, then congratulations. On the other hand, if you are not, if you would like more traffic, if traditional website development tactics are not working for you, then you should invest in writing more appealing, more engaging, more alluring headlines. The book Copywriting: A Beginner's Guide to Copywriting states that:

An extranet is a secured, private virtual space where you can collaborate, share information, or integrate operations between your field teams, suppliers, vendors, partners, or even your customers. These secured external networks make your company more efficient in everything you do. With the right extranet, you will get an edge over your competition with streamlined traditional business functions while saving money on overhead costs.

We are often told by our clients how hard it has been for them to choose the right web design agency

You want a great design for your company website but there is so much more to consider than just a beautiful website. Below are some key tips for choosing the right agency.

We often get asked to help when a magento site has a problem and the overnight tasks take a long time to complete. Above the obvious checks, we also check MySql configs, webserver configs (we prefer to use Nginx), caching engines and hosting environments (many of which we find have often been left at server install default values and can be adjusted to get better performance).

Affinity has just launched the latest iteration of its website.  It has been updated using the latest open source Drupal 7.34 platform,  We have used some creative approaches to the image displays and site functionality, including paralax scrolling using CSS transforms perspective and scalling atributes, full responsiveness and video/animation. We have also significantly updated our service offerings which are now a true reflection of what affinity can achive for its clients. Which we are sure will come as a surprise to a few of you!!
