One of the most important aspects of Drupal is its design. It is not developed to be a single unit of content but rather designed on modules. With Drupal module development specific features or tools can be added to a website without impacting other modules of the site.
Since all Drupal module development is open source new modules are always added to the collective options already available. The original modules, which are often referred to as the core, are always available and will be added to the site when you first install Drupal. From there you can add contributed modules – those designed by other Drupal community members and provided through the platform to ensure the website has just the features you desire.
Starting with Modules in Existence
For those involved in Drupal module development and providing customized tools and features for a website it is very uncommon to have to start right from scratch. Instead, developers look for existing contributed modules that offer some, or ideally most of the desired features. This means that customization or the creation of a new tool or feature is often much less time intensive than with few other platforms. With the community input troubleshooting, issue resolution can be real quick as everyone constantly works together to make it a better system.
The developer is thus able to add and modify the code to tweak the function for the desired effect. This often saves considerable time and effort during the development phase while still providing a unique function or tool.
Evaluating Contributed Modules
Another critical factor with Drupal module development, specifically with the selection of contributed modules is the selection of the right modules contributed by a reputed professional associated with the Drupal.
Top Drupal module development professionals that work with the Drupal platform on a regular basis will readily recognize fellow top contributors. This effectively helps avoid modules that have been designed or maintained by those with little experience.
Designing and customizing modules is an outstanding feature of the Drupal platform allowing maximum flexibility and versatility without having to change stuffs you like. Drupal module development and customization is just one of the many unique tools and features the platform provides to websites that makes them an ideal choice for users.
