Hosting dynamic sites
Our two most popular site setups are Drupal and Wordpress. We run Drupal in multi-site versions on our servers, and we will do the same for Wordpress. Currently we run single-site installations for Wordpress. To see some of those sites, see our customer projects. For more on benefits of dynamic sites, go here.
Both Drupal as well as Wordpress appeared in the webware 100 list, and high up ! We were thoroughly thrilled to hear that. We had picked tools that we liked, and apparently a lot of other users agreed!!! The finalists for the “Webware 100” awards were selected by the editors of Webware.com, a CNET site, but the ultimate winners were picked by the users. The “Webware 100” Awards recognizes the best Web 2.0 sites, services, and applications that are leading the next wave of innovation.
Benefits of dynamic sites
- Create, edit and publish content on your website without needing significant technical skills.
- Manage who creates, edits and publishes content and allocate specific publishing rights to various individuals and groups.
- Reduce the need for training while facilitating more people to publish.
- Reduce the amount of calls to the IT department for changes to your website.
- Reduce time-to-publish.
- Design a common and consistent information architecture (meta-data, classification, navigation, search, layout and design).
- Facilitate better content security. Control who is allowed to publish to the website, and who is allowed to see what content.
- Measure the success of your publishing efforts. You can track who is publishing what, how many referrals you get, which pages are popular, and more ...
- Monitor content quality and consistency. Give your visitors an easy experience, facilitate click-through and conversion!
- Leverage your creations to date by search facilities and dynamic navigation such as tag clouds

When does it make sense for you to get a dynamic site?
If you are publishing at least 10 new documents a week, or if you have like 5 different authors. With numbers of those increasing the amount of sense made does also. Drupals and Wordpresses are not complex, not convoluted, and the basic software is for free.
Why have your site set-up by us?
- Getting started may not be that easy. We help you on your way based on our personal experiences with Drupal and Wordpress for our own businesses and communities.
- Wyrdweb runs multi-site drupal, meaning we keep the code updated for ourselves and hence the modules that we need for ourselves will be upgraded for you automatically, gratuit. For a list of which modules those are, go here (tbd).
- Dynamic site-setups on our servers costs 2000 euro, and includes intake for set-up and organisation of required functionalities for your site (If you are unclear about what you need/desire, we have some possibly re-useful questions, see below), domain registration (or support for that), and ten hours of support in the way that works for you, be that in the form of one-on-one support, coaching of administrators, or a training. Taking this deal, you get a bonus: we assist you with, or theme your site for you based on your steering.
- Without those additional services, if and when set-up on our servers, site-setups cost 1000 euro and some small additional fee for a wyrdweb contact person to load additional content files to the server for you, if any. This, because we do not give users shell access to our stable servers containing your production sites. Drupals can be run from its administrative functions, and this makes our servers way more secure and reliable for you, and for others, your colleagues.
- Without package, or later choices (after initial set-up) for modules that you have picked as wyrd wishes, deviant from what is already configured and working, can be set-up and maintained (upgraded) by us for an additonal fee.
- If you wish us to set-up and maintain your website with another host, and still wish for the package deal, that is possible too. Site-setups in those circumstances will have to be negotiated (are dependent on the prerequisites for the software to work), and you can either have us coach your staff to do the maintenance afterwards, or have us do it for you for a reasonable fee.
- Technical support by more fully humane people. We are industry veterans. We won't bore you with technical details or the latest whiz-bangs. We invest on R&D to figure out what actually works, and only offer you that.
- Commercially available additional services like the creation of marketing messages on video, logoos, and more, are all available for reasonable fees.
- You can of course also hire us to do R&D with you, in which case we quickly cut through the crap :)
