Over the last 7 years, we have developed user communities and social networks for companies large and small on both Drupal and Ruby on Rails.
Drupal
As a leading open source platform for communities and social networks, Drupal’s reusable community modules allow us to quickly create completely custom communities in as little as six weeks with all of the functionality that you’d expect in an advanced online community, including user profiles, blog posts, photos, videos, and discussions.
We were the original developers of the User Relationships module, which is the key to building social networks and online communities in Drupal. We’ve built expertise in scaling Drupal user communities up to hundreds of thousands of simultaneous users.
Some examples of Drupal social networks and user communities we’ve designed and developed include:
Ruby on Rails
When prototyping or time to market is a client’s biggest issue, we turn our attention to Ruby on Rails. Ruby on Rails allows us to create complex social networks in very little time. Our clients love it because they get to see changes happen in front of their eyes. We love it because Ruby is a joy to program and the fruits of our labor are evident very quickly. Ruby and Rails give us the advantage of being able to go back and forth with a client to quickly and iteratively figure out what the clients’ core needs are and then to build on those needs iteratively.
