Custom Module Development

Did you find the module you need?

Often there is a module out there for extending the Drupal CMS to accomplish a task. However, a module sometimes doesn't exist or doesn't meet the exact requirement.

When customising Drupal and building a custom module, it is necessary to start with a plan or a wire frame, and follow procedures while adhering to Drupal's security policies and best practice.

Web developers know how satisfying it is when perfecting the code. Of course the client will also appreciate the module, knowing it is secure, maintainable and does exactly what they want.

The page lists examples of projects and websites that involved custom module development.

Leytonstone Children's Centre

To promote its project and to invite users to the monthly events, the local Council wants to send 40,000 text messages at a time to registered subscribers, this figure is expected to double the following year and will continue to increment.

I built a custom module for sending bulk SMS from a Drupal site hosted on a virtual cloud server which connects to a database with currently 40,000 subscribers hosted by the local council. Only the client has access to the cloud server which has security measures and an SSL certificate.
