When we talked to small companies, they just want a their website to have a nice design and some basic functionalities; they will go from there. And yes, maybe using Drupal for that may be overkill, but on one side, Drupal is more secure and on the other if you want to make sure that customer have the tools to upgrade their website design to something more advanced, you have to use Drupal, or at least we do. It is for this reason that we decided to create a basic Drupal Distribution that simplifies the basic website design for our job, and why not, yours too. We had called it the Brochure Distribution, the term brochure is used loosely there just to imply that the goal is to have a distribution that has the basic features needed in any company website plus some blog feature.
We wanted to let you all know and see if our fellow Drupal developers like it, and can give us ideas in how to improve it and where to go with it. It has some basic functionality out of the box, in that way you only have to concentrate in personalize the design of the website and put content in. Please feel free to comment and give us ideas, suggestions, etc.
To make a distribution that help us, as a company, in our website design job we decided to start with these objectives.The distribution will have this features out of the box, we plan to use features as much as we can.
