How are we building TheArchaeologicalBox.com
Our web team works with Drupal - an open source content management platform. We work on PC computers – running on Microsoft XP and Vista – Macintosh for testing purposes. We built this site using Drupal because it allows us to easily build a powerful, flexible and more importantly adaptable website – we like to change things around on a daily basis. Moreover, Drupal allows an individual or a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content.
