Website Redesign and development based on Drupal using responsive design.

Why Drupal was chosen:

The content management solution that we propose for the Client website is Drupal. Drupal is widely popular because it provides a low cost and high value solution to manage and grow internet presence. Drupal is a CMS that will facilitate the publishing, managing and organizing of a wide variety of content on the Client website. Many organizations are using Drupal to run a wide variety of sites because the system is not just powerful, flexible, user-friendly and search engine-friendly, but it is also open source. With this platform, your system will never stagnate; it will continue to get better.
The system enables Client to manage their own website content. In the pre-configured CMS environment, the Client staff can build web pages and add photographs or content without having to learn a programming language like HTML or PHP. This is already a major advantage, but here are several more:
Modular structure and flexibility
Open source
User-friendly
Powerful and scalable
Search engine friendly
Advanced URL control
Custom content types and views
Revision control
Taxonomy
Customized user management
Custom controlled HTML elements and meta tags
Excellent documentation
Default PHP template theme
Customized features
Large and friendly community

Describe the project (goals, requirements and outcome):

Critical information is constantly evolving and your website must have the ability to evolve as well. One essential element of web success is a company’s ability to quickly and efficiently update a website. The company's goal is to get an innovated responsive site using the latest Drupal version and that supports all platforms and devices. That is why we build the site using HTML5 and responsive design.

Technical specifications

Key modules/theme/distribution used:

Why these modules/theme/distribution were chosen:

References
For node & user reference fields, this is the Drupal 7 replacement of the Node Reference & User Reference field modules in Drupal 6. It's a very handy module for relating content to other content or user accounts.

Views
A must-have module. This is the reason why you are using Drupal. Views 3 is even more awesome than 2.0. I really like the updated workflow.

Webform
A must-have module for every site. Often used for contact forms and has all kinds of useful functionality.

Wysiwyg
Simply a great module for adding a wysiwyg to your site. Gives developers a lot of options and integrates with several of the leading javascript wysiwyg libraries.
