In the spirit of the holidays, we're doing a few posts on Free/Open Source projects that we use every day, that isn't what we sell.

Progressive Enhancements: Manage data
Websites can do more than "just" present information. Do you have some sort of data management task that involves a lot of manual work?

Progressive Enhancements: Improve data entry and user interactions
Websites can do far more than just present information. Many business applications have moved onto the web, and with a CMS like Drupal in the back end, your website itself can be an integral part of your business.

It's great to boil down information into simple bite-sized chunks. But for so many kinds of information, it's just not that simple. Ecological systems. Policy decisions. Your body. Your website.

Picking a technology for internal use
The only kinds of proprietary software Freelock actually pays for are development and testing tools – tools we use to actually create our work products, or provide us with access to tools we otherwise can’t support (e.g. testing across a bunch of browsers we don’t have).

Picking a technology for a client project
Aside from the technologies we choose to develop expertise in and market prominently, we can support a range of related technologies without much trouble. Given our experience and expertise, this means we’re comfortable in just about anything in PHP. If a client comes to us with an existing platform and want our support with it, we’re happy to provide it.

Picking a technology to develop expertise and sell services
Just like doing a client project, we apply DevOps to the decision-making process. Don’t start with a blank slate – start with something, anything, apply the requirements, and iterate.

WordPress vs Drupal is like Word vs Excel
Seems like every day this month I've answered the same question: Why should I use Drupal instead of WordPress? And this is the answer I've come up with. They are entirely different applications, about as different as Microsoft Word is from Microsoft Excel.
