Drupal Support in Reading
Support for Reading organisations running Drupal, where configuration belongs in code rather than in the production interface. Content types, views, permissions and settings can all be exported and moved between environments — and a site where someone changes those directly on production has no record of what changed and no way to test it first.
Why this comes up
The problem
A field was added on the live site to solve something urgent, and the development environment no longer matches production.
What you get
What we deliver
- Configuration exported to code so changes move through environments deliberately
- Production configuration changes prevented or, where unavoidable, captured back
- A development and staging environment that genuinely matches production
- Deployment process defined, including how configuration is imported
- Requests triaged, with recurring ones addressed at their cause
- Documentation kept current, since Drupal sites outlive the people who build them

Working in Reading
South East
Reading anchors the Thames Valley technology corridor, and local firms are often part of large enterprise supply chains where security review and integration standards are set by someone else.
Work here usually has to satisfy someone else's security and integration standards, because clients sit inside larger enterprise supply chains.

Drupal Support in Reading — common questions
- Why should configuration live in code?
- Because it is then reviewable, testable and reversible. A field added directly on production exists nowhere else, cannot be reviewed before it lands and disappears from any environment rebuilt from the repository — which is discovered at the worst moment.
- What if something must be changed urgently on production?
- Do it and then export it back the same day. The failure is not the emergency change; it is leaving production and the repository divergent afterwards, because the next deployment either overwrites the fix or fails in a way nobody expects.
- Does staging need to match exactly?
- Closely enough that testing means something. Different module versions, different configuration or substantially different content produce a staging environment that passes tests production will fail — which is worse than having no staging at all.
- Why does documentation matter more here?
- Because these sites are long-lived and complex. A public sector or university Drupal site frequently outlasts several development teams, and the accumulated decisions about content types, workflows and custom modules are otherwise entirely undiscoverable.
- Do you work with businesses across Berkshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Reading and the surrounding Berkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Reading businesses do you usually work with?
- Work here usually has to satisfy someone else's security and integration standards, because clients sit inside larger enterprise supply chains. Beyond that we work across Technology, Telecommunications, Financial Services and Professional Services.
- Do you cover the areas around Reading?
- Yes — we work throughout South East, including Oxford, London, Milton Keynes, Southampton. Reading is an urban area of roughly 340,000+, and we take on work across the wider Berkshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
