For the newbies - Our Top 10 Drupal modules for web design and development using Drupal
I remember a long while ago when I first started using Drupal as the framework for my web design/development projects I had no idea where to start! I'd just like to offer this post as advice to all the people starting out on the path of Drupal. I just wrote this for my company and thought it might be useful here too. As a website design agency, we use Drupal as the base for our websites, giving us a good website development platform to start from. Drupal allows us to mould it's already sturdy and secure code to our ways, allowing us to produce high quality websites in less time than most companies. The content management system is already loaded with features, but most of the time our clients want that little bit extra bang for their website. Administration MenuWhile not the most important module out there, it does speed up website development hugely. PanelsAlthough this module has been around for quite some time, we've only just discovered the joys of Panels.

Advanced help
The advanced help module allows module developers to store their help outside the module system, in pure .html files. The files can be easily translated simply by copying them into the right translations directory. The entire system can appear in a popup or not as the module prefers (and by taking away access to view the popups, a site can force the popups to not exist). The system ties into Drupal's search system and is fully indexed, so the entire contents can be searched for keywords. the help files can be placed in a hierarchy as well, allowing for top down navigation of the help. By itself, this module doesn't do much; it requires another module to support it, but it does come with a nice little sample of text from Wikipedia to demonstrate the system. Accessing Advanced_help When this module is installed, users with the view advanced help index permission can access the advanced help index by going to Administer -> Advanced Help (

About Webform
Webform is a module that aids in making various one-off forms such as contact forms, surveys, order forms, reservations, CRM requests, and more. To install the module, download the module and add it to your sites/all/modules directory. Enable it under /admin/build/modules. You will now have a new node type called "Webform". From there you simply give the webform a title, description, confirmation message, set up email settings and the like. Finally, you can add several components (think fields). The checkboxes under the "E-mail" header should be checked for each field you want to be included in the email that is sent when the form is submitted. NOTE: In order to add components, you must first “save” the Webform.
