When it comes to creating websites, one platform stands out for its robustness, flexibility, and vibrant community – Drupal. We’ve been building websites in Drupal since the very early days of Versantus (and we’re celebrating our 15th birthday later this year!). So, we’re delighted to share the news that Versantus are now officially a Drupal Certified Partner agency.
As a leading Drupal web development agency, we take pride in not only harnessing the power of Drupal for our clients but also actively contributing to the Drupal community. Drupal's strength lies in its community-driven development model, and by actively participating in the Drupal community we contribute to the evolution and improvement of the platform. Collaborating with like-minded developers, designers, and Drupal enthusiasts helps us stay at the forefront of technological advancements and best practices. Giving back to the Drupal community also aligns with every one of our agency's core values of quality, learning, collaboration and being good.
What is a Drupal Certified Partner
Here’s how Drupal describe its Certified Partners:
Drupal Certified Partners are Supporting Partner agencies who go above and beyond, meeting additional criteria of contribution back to the Drupal Project as well as providing vetted case studies of their client work.
Our recent Drupal contributions
One of our ambitions for our involvement in the Drupal community was to get a wide range of people from Versantus involved in contributing. You might think that only developers and tech geeks can make meaningful contributions, but in reality, there are a wide range of ways to give back. Our marketing team, designers and project managers have all jumped in (as well as our developers, of course). Here is a taster of some of our recent contributions:
- Producing compatibility fixes so that existing modules can be used in newer versions of Drupal
- Making awesome logos so that Drupal interfaces are intuitive and easy to understand
- Contributing to the Drupal Advent calendar, where the Drupal community shares its favourite modules, tricks and features.
- Sharing case studies that show off some of the work we have done to leverage Drupal’s superpowers for our clients
- Testing other community members’ fixes before they are rolled out to the world

What’s next for Versantus and Drupal?
We are excited about the opportunities that come with being a Drupal Certified Partner and are dedicated to continuing our efforts to push the boundaries of Drupal's capabilities.
Our next stop is to increase our contributions and aim for that silver-tier certified partner badge. We’re also continuing our partnership with Acquia (a leading Drupal sponsor and contributor) to bring the best of both worlds to our clients; our development wizardry and Acquia’s world-class Drupal-optimized hosting platform. Versantus remains committed to open-source collaboration and the continual improvement of the Drupal platform for the benefit of all.
