Drupal agencies do much more than build websites. They create sales demonstrations, prepare proposals, onboard developers, manage client environments, coordinate reviews, deploy applications, and support websites after launch.
Yet these activities are often spread across disconnected tools, local development environments, temporary hosting accounts, custom deployment scripts, and separate production platforms.
In this episode, we explore how DrupalForge is being developed to bring more of the agency journey together—from the first client demonstration through development, deployment, hosting, and ongoing services.
DrupalForge already allows agencies to launch Drupal sites and templates in seconds, create disposable testing environments, provide developers with browser-based development workspaces, and share working sites with clients and stakeholders. Developers can access VS Code, Composer, Drush, Git, terminal tools, and database management directly from the browser.
We also discuss the broader vision for DrupalForge for Agencies, including:
- Managing multiple client projects and environments
- Reusing successful project configurations
- Turning completed projects into repeatable templates
- Creating interactive demonstrations for prospective clients
- Supporting distributed development teams
- Connecting projects with deployment and hosting options
- Expanding into maintenance and managed services
- Creating recurring-revenue opportunities for agencies
Many Drupal agencies have already developed valuable intellectual property, including higher-education architectures, government distributions, nonprofit starter sites, healthcare portals, component libraries, and specialized Drupal configurations.
DrupalForge can help agencies turn this work into reusable starting points rather than rebuilding the same foundation for every client engagement. Agencies continue to own their expertise, delivery process, and client relationships while using DrupalForge to demonstrate and deliver solutions more efficiently.
DrupalForge for Agencies is still evolving. The objective is to build the platform alongside agencies, based on the workflows and challenges they encounter every day.
