5. Our project process
Reading Room have designed a development
methodology that combines the best elements of
traditional creative development with the new patterns of
digital project management. We work very closely with all
our clients both during a project and following site
implementation.
Our iterative process is designed around four key stages,
with clear sign off points at the end of each stage. This
makes it possible to make quick and easy amendments to
previous stages if necessary.
Reading Room recognises that many clients don’t fully
understand their exact requirements, or how they should
be visualised, until well into the project process. By
implementing a prototype process, we can offer maximum
flexibility to our clients around their requirements, but also
allow them to fully appreciate how these requirements will
be visualised at an early stage of the project and before
any of the work-intensive development has begun.
During the first three phases of the process, it is possible
to make quick and easy interactions to the HTML
prototype. Once sign off has been achieved on the
prototype, this is directly integrated with the back-end
development.
The key deliverables at each stage are outlined in the next
section of this document.
7. About Drupal
Drupal is a well supported and popular open source content management system with
capabilities that extend from content management to enabling a wide range of custom
services and transactions, whilst at the same time offering a high level of out-of-the-box
features built on a well supported and mature codebase. The core Drupal CMS
application includes a range of features out-of-the-box including:
• Multi-user content creation and editing with full WYSIWYG capabilities
• Option to ‘drop’ to HTML mode for manual entry of code
• Ability to add expiration dates to content pages

through existing open source community
modules or through a well documented API
interface. Modules such as full Taxonomy
control can be activated with just a few clicks
within the Drupal administration section.
Drupal offers quick and easy integration and
use of as many page templates as you require.
These can be easily configured and installed
into the CMS from standard, Accessibility Level
2 (AA) compliant XHTML and CSS templates.
The system also includes full versioning and
workflow control, allowing you total control over
any content added or edited by any of your
contributors.
9. About Drupal
Built with robustness and resiliency in mind,
Drupal is able to cache its content, enabling
maximum delivery speeds and minimising
server load during times of increased visitor
numbers. The system can be tailored to throttle
access to more bandwidth or processor hungry
features of the website, to enable prioritised
delivery of core information during busy times.
Drupal is regarded as a leader in open source
content management systems, with a globally
acknowledged foundation in security and
development support. The system is constantly
monitored and updated by it’s various
contributors, and includes an automated
security and update alert tool, allowing you to
keep the system up to date and minimising the
risk from hacking and malicious attacks.
10. About Drupal
Drupal also benefits from an active and extensive support network, not only
from the official Drupal websites, but also in the form of user maintained
sites and forums, ensuring that any questions you may have can be
answered quickly and effectively.
Drupal supports all of the major web browsers within the content
management system. The following browsers are supported in Drupal 6 and
have been fully tested with CMS functionality.
• Internet Explorer 6.x and later
• Firefox 2.x and later
• Opera 7 and later
• Safari 1.x and later
• Camino 1.x and later
• Google Chrome
11. How Drupal Suits Your Requirements
Drupal allows a fast and cost-effective deployment of a fully controllable Content Management System. It’s license-
free open source nature, mature codebase and high level of community support allow for the delivery of a website that
will enable you to quickly and easily present information to your user-base, and just as importantly will allow your
administrators to edit and control this content with a minimum of fuss and training.
Drupal offers full editorial control of your content, including workflow and editing permissions, meaning that each
authority can control its own content. The ability to include not only standard text and image based content, but also
rich-media files and additional document resources for download ensure that you can deliver information to your users
without compromise.
Because of its open codebase, Drupal can be extensively modified and added to
over the life of the project, allowing you to quickly and cost-effectively include
additional functionality such as forums and blogs, ensuring continued user
interactivity and allowing the system to grow as with your requirements. These
modifications can either be developed as bespoke modules, or included from an
extensive offering of community developed resources, ensuring they meet your
exact requirements.
With a global team in Australia, Singapore and the United Kingdom, Reading
Room are able to turn projects around in a short timeframe, utilising our different
resources as and when required.
