Why does WeebPal use Drupal instead of other platform like WordPress, Joomla, Symfony, Laravel?

There're many reasons, we cannot explain in just some words, however, let me try to give you some information:

- Drupal is a very wonderful platform, after developed many versions, it is in a very good state to do everything quickly and stably.

- Drupal is normally called CMS, that's correct when we use it to build a small website, but that's not enough, the most advantage of Drupal is a very strong architecture, we can design anything from the data structure to customize behavior without any limitation like the normal CMS. Basically, WeebPal can use Drupal in both CMS and Framework levels, so WeebPal can use Drupal with all advantages of both CMSes like WordPress, Joomla, and Frameworks like Symfony, Laravel.

- After 10 years using Drupal to build many websites/web applications from the marketplace with Drupal Commerce, Gov site with Gov CMS, LMS with customization modules and functions, App API with Drupal entity and views, Drupal with MongoDB to handle the billions of content records ...we solve about 100 websites/web applications from small to quite big, from a few hundreds of content to billions of records of contents.We realize that with Drupal, and only focus on using Drupal, we can understand and use Drupal better and better, improve its advantages, reduce its disadvantages.

What defines the price for creating a website/web application?

The price of creating a website / application depends on 2 main factors:

- Customer expectations and requirements: higher expectations mean a higher price, more features included mean a higher price

- Vendors' brand and trust: a bigger brand with a trusted company means a higher price The most reasonable price that the best product can only have when you understand a certain company well by either you have to challenge that person yourself, or you need to see the equal output of that person with the what you want to do

How does a development company calculate the price of the project?

In our experience, the price for creating a website/web application is calculated from the time to completion * work rate * premium rate * process rate

- Estimated time to completion, e.g. time to complete the website/application

- Work rate, e.g. hourly rate: there are about $ 10, $ 15 to $ 40, $ 50 per hour for freelancers, depending on experience and location, or about $ 20, $ 30 to $ 50, $ 100, $ 200 per hour, depending on brand and location

- Brand rate: Quite simple, the big company will be charged more money because they have to pay their brand fee. This factor is usually hidden in the work rate.

- Process rate: if you have a talented person who is willing to solve your project, he can solve it with the littlest process fee, however, if you don't have one, you will ask to have a process to make sure your project can be done. This factor normally is hidden in Estimate time.

How much does WeebPal charge me?

WeebPal's price = Estimate time or spent time * hourly rate = number of hours * $25.
If we can do more works for you, we'll discount then.

What is the Warranty of a website?

When we construct a website and deploy it, we ensure all features withinside the agreement will run stable, so if any trouble happens in the Warranty time for the website related to the agreed functions, we will clear it up immediately. Our Warranty time now is 3 years from the release date. After the warranty time, in some cases the website has issues with developed features, we can still warranty it too. In the easiest explanation, Warranty means Free support.

What is the Maintenance of a website?

Maintenance mean support with Fee. For example, you are looking for an expert to check if there is any potential issue, or the system needs a periodic check, or test if the duration and the performance of your websites. These services will be charged and the cost is generally described in pricing table at Service page.
