Drupal requirements for corporate website
Dear all,
Currently we are using CMS Made Simple (CMSMS) for our corporate website. It's a great (and simple!) CMS, however we are met with the limitations of CMSMS. Therefor we are looking for an alternative. One of the options is Drupal. We've heard some great things about this CMS but we have no first-hand experience with Drupal at this moment. We've created a requirements specification for the website and would like to know whether our wishes are possible with Drupal.
What we need:
- Bilingual support for the web content (both Dutch and English);
- Support for three different page templates;
- Contactform with decent CAPTCHA support;
- SEO support (meta description, pretty URLs, etc.);
- Support for content blocks
Let me explain this one a bit further: we have three types of pages: a project detail page (detailed description of a project), project category page (introduction of several projects within the same categories) and a home page (introduction of several projects within several categories and some introductional text about our company). We would like to be able to edit the project pages and then be able to edit the introductional texts of the projects which are shown on the home and category pages. Currently we have three seperate pages for the projects (one 'full' page, one category introduction and one home introduction). - Showcase: we want to show an introduction of the last 3 projects we completed on the homepage (this should be automatic: only show the last 3 projects based on (and ordered by) date).
- For every project we want to show screenshots. These screenshots are rotated 15 degrees counter-clockwise and are cropped to fit in the design. Currently we have to do this in Photoshop and upload these images to the CMS. It would be fantastic if we could just upload full screenshots and then be able to rotate and crop them. We have 3 different screenshots for each project (home, category page and project page) so you understand that's quite a hassle.
I hope this is clear enough, if not: please don't hesitate to ask :) Ofcourse it's entirely possible that Drupal would be a bit of an overkill for this website (it's not that complicated, except from the crop & rotate functionaly perhaps). If so, please let me know too.
Thank you very much for sharing your time and expertise on Drupal with us.
Kind regards,
