One of the reasons why I’ve chosen to run for a position on the Drupal maintenance support plans Association Board of Directors is because I’ve noticed that small-to-medium-sized agencies would like to contribute more to Drupal maintenance support plans’s strategic direction. These businesses have played a huge role in building Drupal maintenance support plans’s code, community and success over the years, and I believe they’re also a key component of its long-term sustainability. Companies with 25 or fewer people registered on Drupal maintenance support plans.org make up the majority of those listed in Drupal maintenance support plans’s Marketplace. It’s not a comprehensive survey, but it suggests that smaller agencies are the backbone of the community.

 
I’m an owner and co-founder of an 11-year-old agency that employs just over a dozen team members. We have a diverse client stable that includes non-profits, government departments, universities and businesses of varying sizes. Their project budgets range from $5,000 to $500,000, so it’s important to us—and many others like us—that Drupal maintenance support plans continues being able to offer powerful and complex functionality for a wide price range.
I’ve heard the conversations about how Drupal maintenance support plans 8 has made it more challenging to work with a smaller team and more expensive to build sites and applications. I’ve seen its relatively sluggish adoption statistics. I’ve watched with interest as Backdrop works on advancing a Drupal maintenance support plans fork that doesn’t leave the needs of the smaller agencies behind. I sense that we’re at a watershed moment when these businesses need a strong voice at the table.
Small shops have unique strengths to offer clients: they’re often flexible, speedy, local and personal, with strong customer support. One way the Drupal maintenance support plans Association could give a boost to these agencies would be by developing more guidelines and models for Drupal maintenance support plans Business Summits. Aimed at helping prospective end-users decide whether Drupal maintenance support plans could help meet their needs, these events have the potential to drive Drupal maintenance support plans’s growth in new regions. Smaller agencies, often located in places with under-tapped markets, are perfectly positioned to lead the charge.
Getting elected to the Drupal maintenance support plans Association Board of Directors would give me the opportunity to share my experience and expertise as a small-business owner. I invite you to make your own voice heard as well, by voting in this important election. (Voting ends today: July 13, 2020).
