Custom Development

Vibe-coding versus Open Source - Security over the long haul
Vibe-coding is all the rage today. Who needs a developer when you can get an AI to develop an application for you? There are scads of application development tools now that promise to create that app you always wanted -- and surprisingly, these often work!
Day 20 - Automatically post to BlueSky
Since the 2024 election, the BlueSky social network has exploded in popularity, and appears to be replacing the cesspool that used to be Twitter. I'm not much of a social media person -- I much prefer hanging out in smaller spaces with people with shared interests. If you're like me, I would highly recommend finding a Mastodon server that caters to your interests, where you're sure to find rewarding conversations.

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.

Getting hands on with Drupal Commerce 2 - Onsite payments and Sales Tax
We're nearing launch of two new Drupal Commerce sites, one of them being this one. It turns out Freelock.com has some relatively sophisticated commerce needs: some taxable products, some non-taxable products. Recurring subscriptions. Arbitrary invoice payments.

Building a Membership site in Drupal 8

Web Site Development
Website Development is the core of what we do here at Freelock. Here are a few ways that we build you the website of your dreams, and make sure that your customershave a great experience on your website as well.
Custom Modules Add-ons
Don't see what you're looking for? If it can be done on the web, we can do it. We've built dozens of custom sites and applications for companies, and we love doing bigger projects. Most of our price-sensitive customers choose to buy a bucket of hours, identify a few goals, and have us start working on them. Our hourly rates drop the more hours you buy, from $120/hour for a 10 hour bucket down to $85/hour for 150 hours.
Drupal Module Development
Modules are extensions to Drupal sites that enable extra functionality.
Need a blog? Turn on a module.
Want to resize images? Turn on a module.
Do your laundry? Yeah, that’s a custom designed module…
Our team has created and contributed to many Drupal modules and we have created countless custom modules for our clients.
Web Application Development
Bringing Ideas to Life
Many organizations turn to customized applications to meet their specific IT requirements. The software capabilities available out of the box do not meet the needs of these organizations. For some, a simple customized add-on module can fill this void. For others, a completely customized application may be the way to go. Open Source software makes it possible to create the right solution without reinventing the wheel.
