5 Signs Your Website Needs an Update

According to a recent Pew Research Center study, 64% of American adults now own a smartphone, up from 35% in 2011. Forward thinking marketers understand that web is far more customer centered than ever. Web traffic has changed, but has your website?
Goodbye Ruby, Hello Node.js: Speeding up Sass

Recently at Zivtech we started migrating our base theme for Drupal called Bearskin over to a gulp-based CSS compiling system. Up until now we had been using the original Sass, written in Ruby, but lately it's been feeling a bit slow.
Permissions and Roles for Happier Users & Admins

When you first install Drupal, you are given a lot of power. With all of the contributed modules available, you can do pretty much anything. You can also horribly mangle your site security, make your users hate having to use your site, and end up having to redo work from inexperienced users trying to (ahem) "help."

Often, documentation is overlooked by companies and organizations on a budget, but it is a truly invaluable part of building a new website. Check out some great tips and tricks from our team of technical documenters.
