DrupalCon Barcelona. Day 2. The Annertech crew were up early (especially given our late night last night) and arrived at the convention centre. Here's our team's "best of the day" list - including one from Marta Paz, whom we've picked up as an honorary Annertechie for the week.

When building client sites that necessitate an e-commerce feature (a store or donations system for example), we use Drupal Commerce. We find it a very easy to use e-commerce portal that is fully integrated with all other aspects of the client's new website.

Continuing in our series of integrating CRMs with Drupal, we're now going to take a look at CiviCRM, an open-source, web-based CRM aimed at charities and non-profits which integrates closely with Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.

At Annertech, there are three things we take very seriously: website/server security, accessibility, and website load times/performance. This article will look at website performance with metrics from recent work we completed for Oxfam Ireland.

We recommend using Drupal as a content management system platform for our client projects for many reasons, not least of which is that it is a widely adopted, free, open source solution.

Annertech have a lot of experience integrating Drupal websites with various CRMs, so this is the start of a new series on CRM integration where we will go into more detail on some of the more popular CRMs we’ve worked with.

Hacked sites. Security flaws. Lost data. Loss of trust. Lost customers. Lost revenue. Nightmare.

Just thinking about themes such as these in the media can send a shiver down your spine. It can all seem very daunting, and not just a bit scary when you start to think about it. This article aims to paint a clear picture of what you should be aware of as a site owner - where security weak points are, and strategies to avoid them.

With only 5 critical issues marked as "needs work", Drupal 8 - the most brilliantly amazing responsive accessible version of Drupal to be released so far - is just around the corner (we're so excited, we forgot to put commas in that list of adjectives). Last week Acquia announced they now have Drupal 8 available on their platform for clients to start building their D8 sites on.

Previously we wrote about connecting your website with external systems, and specifically, the benefits of connecting your site with your CRM . As with many problems, there are many ways to approach this.
