'contact us' page: we will set up a fully functioning 'contact us' page so visitors to your site will be able to contact you by email.
Requirements
In order for us to be able to install a fully functioning copy of Drupal on your host, there are certain requirements that your host will need to meet. If you are not sure about how to check these, get in touch with your host and ask them if you can run Drupal on your web site
The short list requirements for Drupal are:
- Apache 1.3 or Apache 2.x hosted on UNIX/Linux
- recommended: PHP 5.2 or higher, required: PHP version 4.3.5 or higher
- recommended database: MySQL 4.1 or MySQL 5.0
Be aware that to use Drupal to manage your web site means that you will need to do all the work online through your browser. Drupal currently supports the following browsers:
- Internet Explorer 6.x and later
- Firefox 2.x and later
- Opera 7 and later
- Safari 1.x and later
- Camino 1.x and later
If you want more detailed information, then this page has the full list of requirements.
If you need a host that will enable you to run Drupal, let us know and we will help you get in touch with the people who currently host our own web site.
Not Included
Our standard service does not include:
the purchase of a domain name such as www.my-business.com, and
hosting which is the 'location' where your web site is available for all to see online.
However, we can help you with both these if you are not sure about how to get a domain name or how to do the 'hosting' thing.
Learn to 'Drive'
Also, we will not offer free tutoring on how to use Drupal. Once we have setup the CMS site for you, it will be up to you to learn how to 'drive' it.
We will, of course, let you know where you can go online to access the manual for Drupal and where you will be able to find a forum where you will be able to post any problems you have.
We apologise in advance for this but we are not in a position where we can effectively teach all our customers how to use Drupal.
Note: all our prices are in Australian Dollars.
