Our approach to better, more manageable Drupal projects

We guide every project with transparency, structure, and care, so you always know what’s happening, why we’re doing it, and what comes next.

Step 1

Process:

We start by listening – through stakeholder interviews, site audits, and goal mapping. We review your tech stack, identify risks, and clarify what success means for your team.

Discovery workshop Drupal audit Stakeholder alignment

Result:

We’ll leave this phase with a shared understanding of priorities, clear expectations, and a roadmap that aligns technical work with organization needs.

Step 2

Process:

We define content types, user roles, permissions, and technical architecture. We map out what should be reused, replaced, or upgraded – with accessibility and scalability in mind.

Drupal architecture planning Information architecture Drupal consulting

Result:

A detailed plan that avoids technical debt, supports your editorial workflows, and lays the foundation for long-term flexibility in Drupal.

Step 3

Process:

We build features in sprints, focusing on clean, reusable code, smart integrations, and preparing for future upgrades, like Drupal 11, for example. Custom modules are written when needed, not by default.

Drupal development services Custom Drupal modules Third-party integrations

Result:

A platform tailored to your real-world needs, with better performance, security, and maintainability.

Step 4

Process:

We test across devices, browsers, and accessibility tools. We verify WCAG 2.1 compliance, optimize load speed, and document any edge cases to prevent surprises post-launch.

Accessibility testing Website performance Drupal SEO

Result:

A reliable, accessible site that performs well and passes every audit, from Core Web Vitals to usability reviews.

Step 5

Process:

We coordinate deployment, create clear handoff documentation, and stay on for support, enhancements, and guidance – through retainer or SLA-based models.

Drupal support Drupal maintenance Drupal security

Result:

A smooth launch backed by a team that knows your site inside out – and stays available long after go-live.

Five Jars provided training documents and hosted an online training session to bring us up to speed and teach us how to use our new CMS.
