Sometimes a client’s need is so unique that the only solution is a custom application. As a creative firm these types of problems are what get our juices flowing! We are often given a minimal set of requirements, or sometimes work with a client to determine those requirements to begin with, and then we begin to design and architect some possible solutions.

For custom web apps, a lot of the time we can get a huge head start (and a CMS) by starting off with Drupal. There are also times when it makes sense for us to start off at a lower level with a framework such as Symfony, including a custom data model using a relational database like MySQL or column-based database like MongoDB.
