What is Drupal?
Drupal is an open source content management system (CMS) framework, written in PHP and supported by a community of open source developers around the world. The PHP source code for Drupal is available at absolutely no licensing costs, which saves both time and money on almost any website needing a CMS. Metal Toad Media has implemented a number of custom Drupal development implementations and is ready to help your business to get its own Drupal powered website.

Can Drupal be customized?
Yes. Metal Toad Media has extensive experience with custom Drupal development. With Drupal in general you can choose from any number of preexisting designs, or a designer can create a custom Drupal theme that reflects your branding and message requirements.
In addition to custom Drupal themes we can also help you determine the best Drupal modules to include to reach your business goals. Via readily available Drupal modules, a Drupal site's functionality can be modified to include:
