Drupal is a powerful content management system that allows to build anything from a simple blog to a complex corporate Drupal site. However, there are cases when contributed modules don’t fully meet the project requirements. That’s when creating a custom solution becomes essential. Custom module development enables you to implement unique features tailored specifically to your needs. In this article, we’ll explore how to develop your own modules, what to consider before starting, and what a typical workflow looks like.

A custom Drupal theme gives us complete control over the look and feel of the interface. Unlike pre-built templates, a custom theme doesn’t contain unnecessary code that slows down the site. It adapts to specific design, branding, language needs, and accessibility requirements. This is crucial for optimal performance, security, future scalability, and long-term support. In addition, a custom theme completely avoids conflicts with third-party styles or unnecessary dependencies.
