What is Drupal, and why is it so good?

Drupal Logo

It seems that the first task I am set to with new clients is briefly summarising what a content managed system actually does, why it would be a benefit to them and why I personally push for an open source approach. In all honesty they seem to take on board the benefits I reel off (I do tailor them to the particular client), but generally they are bought when you advise on cost comparisons. Its really simple, an open source, mature content management system is going to be far cheaper than developing a custom system, or purchasing a licensed application.

Design in Silence - Graphic Design by Deaf Designers

I have found that there are very few design companies that have team of deaf designers working together as a team or as individuals. However one of example I have heard of where this is not eh case is Red Lizard, who are based in Redditch, a graphic design house that specialises in accessible design.

For me, it is great to see other deaf designers showing their work on the web. It gives them a great opportunity to show how much of their visual creativity really flares out. They will have their own ways to communicate with their clients and able to show their work off brilliantly.

Stupid Comment

Every now and then I get a spare 5minutes to catch u with a few of my favourite blogs. I haven't researched into many, but have been either referred to by close industry colleagues, or simple stumbled across by accident.
