At Tarakan Design, we build content management systems and community web sites for small businesses, clubs and social groups, bands, and more, using Drupal, the premier open source content management framework.
We build interactive web sites where you and your customers, fans, or members can interact with your company and each other, sharing experiences and building loyalty.
Who We Are
Tarakan Design was formed in 2008 by two experienced software engineers who saw that the web was changing. In the age of social networking, unchanging and non-interactive websites are no longer sufficient. Customers and fans want to interact with the companies they support and modern companies understand the need to engage their customers.
Tarakan specializes in building community and content management sites for small businesses, bands and clubs, with a clean design and a solid foundation. We can perform large data migrations, create custom Drupal modules, create complex data-driven screens, embed any sort of multimedia element, optimize for all search engines, and much more.
Tarakan Design builds highly interactive and easy to manage community and content management websites using Drupal, the most widely-used and supported open-source content management framework. Drupal, along with thousands of available add-on modules has support for user accounts, forums, blogs, wikis, commenting, pictures and hi-def video, rating systems, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and much more. Many of the biggest and most popular sites on the Web rely on Drupal. Tarakan is very involved in the Drupal community, as a sponsor and organizer of Dallas Drupal and Drupal Camp Dallas. Tarakan founders also give frequent sessions and presentations at Drupal events, including Dallas Drupal and Drupal Camp Austin.
At Tarakan Design, we practice Agile software development and believe in customer-centered design and exceptional customer service. We employ solid software engineering and IT practices, such as using development and staging servers, version control, and automated off-site backups. As an intentionally small firm, we can give very personalized attention to every client.
