Drupal Web Design & Development · Richmond VA
When your website has to do more, you need a platform that can.
Garza Web Design is a Richmond, VA Drupal shop and Drupal Association member. We design, build, migrate, and maintain Drupal websites for organizations whose sites have to do more than a template can. And we'll tell you honestly if yours doesn't.
Drupal development from a team you can sit down with
When Drupal is the right choice. And when it isn't
Drupal is worth considering when you need structured content, multiple editors, permissions, workflows or integrations. We start with those requirements rather than assume a particular platform is the answer.
If a simpler website approach fits, we will explain the tradeoff. The goal is a site your organization can operate and maintain.
Drupal 11 websites your staff can actually edit
We organize content into reusable types and editable components so staff can update pages and images without rebuilding the layout. Editor roles, approvals and training are part of the scope discussion.
Tell us who edits the website and what takes too long today. We can show relevant editing workflows before you commit to a build, alongside search and content requirements.
Drupal migrations & upgrades
A migration starts with your current version, modules, custom code, integrations and content. We identify what can carry forward, what needs replacement and which tests are needed.
Review the proposed approach, project scope, redirects and launch responsibilities before work begins. Older sites may need a rebuild rather than a simple version update. We plan to reduce search disruption, not guarantee unchanged rankings.
Drupal maintenance & security updates
For an existing site, discuss updates, compatibility testing, backups and expected content changes separately from a new build. The agreement defines access, included work, response conditions and additional charges.
Compare support plans or discuss your Drupal maintenance needs.
A Drupal Association member, here in Richmond
Anyone can list Drupal on a services page. We're a member of the Drupal Association: the nonprofit that supports the platform, its security infrastructure, and its worldwide developer community. Membership isn't a certification; it's skin in the game, and a signal of where our work actually lives.
What that means for you: a team that follows the platform's direction and security releases as a matter of course, working from an office at 1011 E Main St in downtown Richmond, where you can sit across a table and plan a complex build in person, since 2009.
Good fit if: you're vetting Drupal vendors and want proof beyond a logo on a slide.
Let’s scope your Drupal project.
Tell us what your website needs to do, who will use it and what needs to change. We’ll discuss the approach before quoting.
Plan around the people who use your website
Bring your editors, operations team and technical contact into the scope discussion. Catalog structure, approval workflows and integrations should reflect how your organization actually works.
Review our website portfolio, meet the team and ask us to walk through the parts of a project relevant to your requirements. Agree on implementation, testing and ongoing support before starting.
Drupal questions organizations ask before they call
Is Drupal overkill for a small website?
Sometimes, yes. And we'll tell you when it is. A five-page site whose job is making the phone ring doesn't need Drupal's machinery, and putting it there adds cost and upkeep without adding customers. We build plenty of simpler sites for exactly that reason. Drupal earns its keep when the requirements list grows: multiple editors, structured catalogs, member areas, workflows. Bring us what your site has to do, and you'll get an honest recommendation either way, that's what the free consultation is for.
Can you take over an existing Drupal site?
We can assess an existing Drupal site before agreeing to take it on. The review considers its version, dependencies, custom code and access. Any remedial work, maintenance and hosting are scoped before implementation. Tell us about your existing site.
What about upgrades from Drupal 7, 8, 9, or 10?
The path depends on your current version, modules, custom code and integrations. A legacy site may require a migration to a rebuilt website rather than a simple update. We scope content, testing, redirects and launch responsibilities before quoting; no upgrade can guarantee unchanged search rankings.
