Increase developer satisfaction
Richard asks:
Just a question after reading an article posted here back from January 21, 2016 on Drupal 8, why Freelock.com has not moved to Drupal 8? Just wondering if there was a particular reason we should avoid before jumping in? Thanks.

If you learned how to make decisions before the fall of the Berlin Wall, you might get overwhelmed by decision making today. We used to live in a fairly black-and-white world -- East versus West, Pepsi or Coke, Miller or Bud, Democrat or Republican, ABC, NBC, or CBS.
How do you decide? If you're like a great many people in my generation, one tactic might be to create a list of pros and cons for each of the alternatives, and then compare these lists side-by-side. Ok, great! Let's use that to select a content management system. Let's see, what are our alternatives?
Do you have new website envy?
Is your current website clunky and slow?
Is it time for an upgrade?
Is it time to move to a new CMS?
How about Drupal 8?
Drupal 8 is up and running on all SEVEN cylinders. Lets get your website up to speed with the functionality and customization that Drupal is known for. At Freelock, we love Drupal and we think you might too.
At Freelock our project management tool of choice is Open Atrium.
OpenAtrium is an online collaboration and task-management suite built on top of Drupal. Like Drupal, it is completely modular, so the feature set can be changed and expanded to meet the needs of a wide variety of applications. Out of the box it has support for case management, collaborative document editing, shared blog and microblog, and a variety of user-configurable dashboard views.
CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems, they sound so great! Setup a CRM, put all your contacts and clients in there, add some forms to your website and BOOM the money will just pour in.
Except that’s not how it happens.
Have us run your website through our quality checklist. We'll find all the clutter in your modules, files, and views.
Businesses are increasingly interested in investigating and implementing Open Source technologies to help cut licensing costs, increase security, and stay ahead of their competition. Whether your organization is looking for web development using an Open Source platform, maintaining a Linux server, or simply exploring a shift towards the Open Source world, Freelock can help you navigate through the hundreds of options to ensure your systems are working for you.
At Freelock, we provide targeted, semi-managed hosting of Linux-based web applications to help ensure that your website stays secure and online. We lease our own dedicated servers, both physical and virtual, and have full control over the OS and all the software, including your applications. This allows us to fully support everything above the hardware layer to an extent that few other companies do.
