Do you want a professional-grade website that does exactly what you need it to do? Drupal is an open-source content management system (CMS) offering free and premium templates and bespoke websites. It is a powerful, flexible, and highly customisable platform that hosts many diverse companies across the globe.

Drupal uses PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) as its coding language. Whilst you can get ready-made templates on Drupal, it is an open source platform. Developers can utilise its backend and create truly unique from-scratch designs and customisable templates. When making a Drupal website, it is helpful to know some PHP yourself (or work with developers that know PHP) so you can make the most of everything Drupal offers.

Drupal is an excellent hosting platform for e-commerce and businesses that require fast processing power and flexible customisation options. It has many competitive features that you can find out more about here.

Why choose a premium Drupal template

As Drupal is a free platform, no one could blame you for wondering:

• Why would I need a premium Drupal template when there are free options?
• Why should I pay an agency to create my premium Drupal template?

While Drupal has many excellent free templates, they often lack the customisation options that some businesses need to hit their conversion goals. Free templates may not have the functionality and flexibility to support a more complicated UX journey, such as those required for ecommerce. If you are using your website to promote a service, then a free template can more than do the job. But if you need a powerful website that drives conversion, a premium template will offer the flexibility, customisation, and additional blocks that you will need.

The WEBPRO difference: speed, quality, and support

On the downside, premium Drupal templates are more complicated to create and manage. Drupal offers powerful performance, but that means the back-end work can be fiddly and time-consuming if you’re not an experienced developer.

If you don’t want to spend hours tearing your hair out, why not call in the professionals to support you and your business every step of the way? WEBPRO’s North London based in-house team has over 20 years of experience using Drupal to create professional, flexible, and fast websites for large and small businesses. Generic templates and cookie-cutter websites have no place in our portfolio. We will work with you to create a unique website that meets your business needs and gives you the space to grow and adapt your brand over time.

Template vs bespoke design: which is right for you

The next question to ask yourself is: Would a bespoke website design or customisable template be best for your business? A bespoke website is made just for you, entirely from scratch. If someone is spending money on your service, it can reassure them to see that you’ve also taken the time and effort to invest in it.

On the other hand, templates are a more time and cost efficient option and also include many customisable options so your website can still look unique. There is no right or wrong answer here. It depends on your business goals and needs.
