Introducing Makefunds.com 2.0

Hello fellow Drupallers,

We are currently relaunching a site we have developed to help bring this very cool CMS and others to a much wider audience. As we all know, Drupal is a general framework for building sites. Often times, though, users have to spend a great deal of time in development and theming to arrive at a site that they feel comfortable with. Where Drupal and other CMS's out there rightly seek to generalize the functionality offered to appeal to a wider user base, we seek to specialize general frameworks into more workable packages for the end user or developer wishing to shorten development time.

Makefunds.com offers free downloads of web site platforms based upon popular CMS's. We currently have one such platform available, which is of course based on Drupal, which is the CMS we know, love, and use. Makefunds seeks to foster community development of these platforms. Makefunds.com users can freely download the software, modify it, and redistribute it on the site. We hope to build a vast array of platforms that people needing interactive ecommerce web sites can use as a starting point for their own ventures. We feel confident that these pre-packaged solutions can further the development of the underlying CMS's themselves by attracting more users that might not be interested otherwise.

Do you service, build, design, host, or consult on Drupal based projects? We also seek to build an extensive collection of contractor profiles that can provide services to people in need. We provide web space for contractors to advertise their services for free. We have come to understand in our time with Drupal that most of the commercialization of Drupal and other free open source projects is through services offered to the software users. We wish to further your ability to reach potential clients by providing a site directory of contractors that Makefunds users can use to find contractors available, easily.

We also offer our users the ability to post contract offers for work that they need completed. This would make it easier for contractors that service these CMS based solutions to find projects that interest them. This service is free to use as well.

To round out the Makefunds user experience, we offer our users the ability to create forum topics, polls, reviews, blogs, and comments of the material as well.

We envision Makefunds.com serving as a one stop shop for ecommerce. We would greatly appreciate your review and advise in this endeavor. We have relied upon the advise of the willing members of the Drupal community to arrive at the current version of the site. We call upon your advise once more. But more importantly, if you believe in the Makefunds.com ideology, then get involved. Register at Makefunds, download and try the software, modify it, make your own and distribute it, post your contractor profile, and post your comments about what we are doing.

We use the communication we recieve from fellow Drupallers, such as you, to evolve the site in a manner that is most effective in drawing attention to this great CMS and others.

We thank you for your help and participation!
