Why Drupal was chosen: 

We considered various other platforms like Wordpress and Jive. Because of the scalability, flexibility and time-to market required for the project, we chose Drupal 7.23 for this project. Drupal's great strength is in its powerful API ability to customize and overwrite anything. In addition to all this, the modules gave us the ability to build most (if not all of) the site in a very short time. We needed all social networking basic features like Wall, Events and Groups which made us more inclined not only towards Drupal but to use an out of the box solution (Distribution) build over Drupal, so we used Drupal Commons. Drupal Commons had most of the functionality required, though we built a number of custom functionalities and contributed some modules back to the community. That's the awesomeness of Drupal. We already knew that it would be a project in which we might need to add more and more new features, services etc. Thus, Drupal made an excellent choice considering its superb extensibility.

Describe the project (goals, requirements and outcome): 

sadhualiyur.com is an online painting eCommerce platform for enabling online shopping . Our target audience was not today's super-techie youngsters, so instead we needed to build an easy to use product to fulfill the needs of those who have been hiding from world wide web, thinking about complexities of operating laptops and computers over web.
