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.

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.
