Once you would like to update your Drupal 8 website (especially for the first time) you first google or visit official Drupal documentation. I did the same and stumbled upon very abstract tutorials without clear steps and moreover without references to the common issues you may face. Hence, this article was born. Hope it will help some Drupal 8 strugglers :)

After installing Joomla many times and bumping into the same difficulties again and again you eventually start making notes to save some nerve cells during the next installation.

Content management system (CMS) is a great way to build your website. The fact you can assemble required application in days without writing a line of code is a big jump in software development world. People and organizations that just need a web presence no longer need to hire developer and graphic designer. They can buy affordable web hosting, install CMS (with expert's help or without), buy ready-made template, write some content and that's it! It might be a little bit harder when you go for eCommerce or large site, but in general this approach is pretty easy to implement.

Drupal CMS is great for almost any website and eCommerce is not an exception. These days, you can find multiple Drupal modules that can accomplish this task, but we will focus only on one of them: Drupal Commerce. This module is Technology Space Bridge's choice due to its superiority in comparison to other eCommerce modules. We will also have a look at other supplementary modules that you'll require in order to make your online store alive.

When it comes to selection of CMS for you project it's always better to have experience with each of your options to make the right decision. In this blog post I'll cover findings we've made at Technology Space Bridge working with Joomla 2.5 and Drupal 7. Hope it will make your choice easier.

First of all, if you're completely new to content management systems concept, I recommend to read an introductory post: Content Management Systems: beginner's guide.

A lot of developers / companies neglect proper selection of web hosting provider. And they always suffer. Because hosting is not just databases and storage for your files. Web hosting is also a team of technical support specialists who resolve your issues and assist with inquiries. Web hosting is quality and proper configuration of hardware required to run your website efficiently and maintain expected performance. Web hosting is fast and feature-full control panel that provides access to all tools you need. Actually there are many things that can make difference.

When there is a need for Drupal 7-based website, there is a need for the right set of Drupal modules. Carefully selected combination of modules may not only be required to build intended functionality, but also to decrease website complexity and improve its performance.

These days everyone wants a website. Moreover, everyone wants it for free (or almost for free) and with an ability to administer it him/herself. It would be easy if everyone had enough technical knowledge and could develop own application. But, since it's not the case there is a high demand for tools that allow business users to publish and administer content online without having developer skills. The set of such tools called Content Management System or more commonly known as the above term's abbreviation CMS.
