How to create a unique corporate identity on the Internet

I am assuming that your intention is to have a corporate site for your business.Typically the main purpose of the corporate site will be to disseminate information about the company and to position it in the market ; other qualities maybe regarded as extras. For the corporate site and indeed for any other kind of website, it is absolutely important to define the primary purpose of the site before any work begins on it in order to be able to create a web site which users will find effective, efficient and usable .

Is Drupal 7 useful yet ?

My last review of the new Drupal 7 was rather cursory and I merely looked at the new release from the point of view and distrust of a salt-coated seadog perusing a modern ocean liner. So that review might have been quite biased as it puts habit in competition with progress. Quite naturally habit will win all of the time. To me Drupal 6 had become a habit, and habits do not die easily.

What type of site is best for your business ?

Many people do have the erroneous belief that all web sites are the same. This is a great step to achieve failure on the internet. In actuality the structure abd content of a web site should depend on its purpose. It might appear economical to embed a shopping cart within a business to business corporate website , but if care is not taken both functionalities may eventually become unusable . A website should be built for one purpose alone. For perspective , we shall look at a few different website structures :

A Hitch-hiker's Guide To Drupal 7

OK I am sort of Old School : I don't jump into new technology bandwagons unless I know where they are headed first. Heck, I don't even get on a bus before I know where it is going. I am that smart :). Sometimes I think I should still feel good in heavily buckled platform boots, Oxford bags and slim-fit flowered shirt with huge Superfly collars. But you never know, these days walking down the street that way you may easily start a new fashion; and I don't want to be part of that because you never know where it may be headed.
