Drupal Community Building

Today’s Web 2.0 world demands communities. Building a web-based community gives visitors the chance to interact and feel a part of something. Online communities give visitors a reason to stay interested in your site. In a community website, visitors build a network of connections with people who have similar interests and common goals. Drupal shines in building online communities. Using its wide variety of community oriented modules, Drupal can offer features like buddy/friend lists, private/instant messaging, self-organizing interest groups, discussion forums, and more. HudhodMedia specializes in building communities that help clients leverage their business, brand, and content in a variety of channels. Hudhodmedia utilizes Drupal modules to form the basis of rich and robust membership sites, intranets, or support communities for any type of organization.

Information Architecture

Information Architecture is the foundation for great Web design. It is the blueprint of the site upon which all aspects are built – form, function, navigation, interface, interaction, and visual design.

HudhodMedia begins each Web design project with an information architecture plan, which saves clients both time and money.

Drupal is a full-featured online application framework, allowing incredibly robust websites with high-level functionality to be developed in a fraction of the time, and at a fraction of the cost. HudhodMedia developers are experts in information architecture, working closely with clients to determine the business requirements, target audience, usability, and content organization of websites. Clients bring their expectations and goals for their websites; then HudhodMedia developers create site maps, wireframes, workflows, etc. – all factions entailed in a successful, high-performing Drupal site.

Many firms fail to grasp the importance of Information Architecture, but not HudhodMedia. Site architects define the website’s goals, determine who the audience is and the required user experience, identify content and functional requirements, define site’s structure and navigation, then create the visual design. With HudhodMedia’s Information Architecture services, client website adoption rates are high, websites with online shopping capabilities gain revenues instead of abandoned carts, and navigation is easy while content can be found intuitively.

Usability & User Experience

HudhodMedia puts users first when considering the website design process because the website is a window into an organization.

If the website is sophisticated, clean, and intuitive, users will stay and explore. If the website creates negative reactions and is hard to use, brand perception suffers. This can result in lost sales, customer dissatisfaction, non-productive staff, and support headaches.

HudhodMedia thinks usability is number one when planning a website. Focusing on the user experience, HudhodMedia’s sites increase user satisfaction, productivity, and conversions, while fostering repeat visitors, and improving your competitiveness.
If a system is difficult to use, people won’t use it. If user needs were not considered when determining requirements (functionality is missing) and user abilities were not considered when designing the system the system is likely to require more changes and enhancements.

HudhodMedia considers user experience with every website, focusing on user abilities and skills while incorporating logical decision making paths. Websites that allow people to complete their tasks easily, quickly and without frustration will save time and money for the business and
will allow business goals to be met.

Customized Creatives and Drupal Theme Development

Not only do clients want a solid-performing website, they want a site that looks good while they are using it.

A "theme" is a collection of files that define the presentation layer or "look and feel" of a Drupal site. With themes, HudhodMedia defines the look and feel of your website, customizes sections of the site, manages presentation in each browser, specifies attributes of fonts and graphics, and more.

The HudhodMedia team carefully plans with attention to detail and crafts a flawless visual presence on the web. They strive to make each Drupal theme look like a carefully thought out and designed web creation.

But looking good is not all that is involved in theming. Cross-browser support, SEO considerations, and clean and valid code are just as important. As Enterprise Drupal veterans, HudhodMedia has the experience to capture the full power of the Drupal theming layer. we also design RTL Arabic drupal themes for full Arabic language support.

From e-commerce to online newsrooms, from intranets to online learning sites, HudhodMedia designs sites that are visually pleasing, user-friendly, and scalable, yet meet business goals, such as converting visitors into buyers.

Drupal Search Engine Optimization

Between 85% to 90% of all web site traffic comes from search engines and directories. A site that is simply being listed in search engines doesn’t guarantee that it can easily be found.

Search engine optimization (the cool kids call it SEO) is the new battleground in marketing. Millions of web sites constantly scramble in a digital game of King of the Hill, fighting to appear in the coveted first few listings in web searches. Only savvy practitioners of search engine optimization and positioning strategies will reach the top of Mount Google and other such summits. Successful web marketers understand the intricate complexities of designing optimization plans that give the search engines what they want in order to find your site before they find your competitors’.
Search engine optimization and positioning is challenging at best. It’s not a simple matter of adding a few tags that contain important keywords. It is both art and science. It takes a commitment to staying updated with industry standards and expectations. It takes left brain and right brain working together harmoniously to predict the ever-changing expectations of the almighty search engines. Proper SEO is a discipline in applying creative techniques to an in-depth study of the search engines and directories.
This battle began in the very creation of your company’s site. If you chose Drupal then you came to the right place. Drupal has a strong yet flexible SEO foundation, yet we can do even more with Drupal SEO to help you become the King of the Hill and reach the top of Mount Google.
HudhodMedia’s web marketing team is committed to meeting your ongoing search engine optimization & positioning needs and looks forward to discussing a plan with you that utilizes creative content development designed to make your web site and your business interesting to search engines and the potential customers who use them. Our goal with each and every customer is to deliver results.
Drupal Search Engine Optimization. It's what we do.
