Drupal agency in Marseille

Our agency is located in the heart of Marseille, in the 2nd district.  

bluedrop.fr has been supporting organizations with their Drupal projects for over 20 years, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur as well as throughout France. Our local presence allows us to prioritize in-person meetings when necessary for the project, while also offering a team and expertise suited to large-scale Drupal projects nationwide.

Our developers hold Drupal certifications (by Acquia, the company founded by the creator of Drupal) and vetted roles on Drupal.org, the status that rewards commitment and quality of contributions to the community. In fact, we contribute as often as possible by developing and maintaining new modules. We now have more than 20, including the Page Cache Exclusion module, a performance lever already used by more than 500 sites. We are also very proud to support French-speaking community events by sponsoring DrupalCamps such as Rennes in 2024 and Grenoble in 2026.

Accessibility and eco-design are not options added at the end of a project. They are integrated from the design stage and in our way of developing Drupal sites. Our approach is based in particular on the recommendations of the RGAA and the RGESN, with internal experts dedicated to accessibility and eco-design.

Our achievements are concrete evidence of this approach: several of our projects have achieved high scores in RGAA audits, including 99% for the Toulon website, 96% for Anact, 85% for Elior and 83% for AFT.  

We also organize eco-design workshops from the UX phase onwards to identify areas for reducing environmental impact even before development.

Our Drupal Starter by default includes many eco-design best practices, accessibility and performance.

For several years, bluedrop.fr has been developing its own tools, products and methods to industrialize Drupal projects without sacrificing their customization. Our Drupal Starter forms the foundation of this approach: a preconfigured Drupal base, maintained and enhanced by our teams, which includes ready-to-use components, Drupal recipes and optimizations dedicated to performance, security, SEO, accessibility and eco-design. It allows us to quickly start a project on a robust and proven base.

This industrialization logic is also reflected in our products and developments: DropFactory to industrialize the creation and management of Drupal sites, DropCampus for the needs of universities and educational institutions, our jobboard and recruitment platform solutions, as well as our work around Drupal and artificial intelligence.

We thus build on completed projects to continuously enrich our technical foundation and components. Instead of restarting from scratch for each project, we reuse proven building blocks, which we adapt to the specific needs of each organization. This approach allows us to shorten startup times, make developments more reliable, and devote more time to business challenges and user experience.

A Drupal project is not just about development. At bluedrop.fr, we bring together all the necessary skills in-house to support your project from start to finish, without multiplying intermediaries:

• Development teams who master technical design, migrations to Drupal 11, multisite architectures, maintenance, and application management.
• Some project managers who follow your project from start to finish and ensure its progress: scoping, prioritization, team coordination, meeting deadlines.
• Some dedicated contacts on all related topics (accessibility, SEO, security, GDPR, eco-design) that can be integrated from the design phase and throughout the project, and not just at the testing stage.

This integrated organization allows us to keep all the skills within the same team, streamline communication, and ensure true continuity between consulting, design, development, deployment, and maintenance.

bluedrop.fr supports its clients on recent versions of Drupal, especially Drupal 10 and Drupal 11, and has long-standing expertise with previous versions. We have worked with all versions of Drupal and have assisted our clients in upgrading to ensure they have a secure technical foundation maintained by the community. We have strong references for the most complex migrations, such as the migration from Drupal 7 to Drupal 11, for example.

We support businesses, large corporations, SMEs, institutions, local authorities, public establishments, universities, and research organizations in Marseille, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, and throughout France. Our clients notably include organizations such as Metropole Toulon Provence Méditerranée, La Méridionale from the CMA CGM group and the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD), as well as the University of Aix-Marseille, AP-HM , and the Grand Avignon Opera.

Yes. We work on existing Drupal sites, whether it involves resuming their maintenance,providing their AMS, upgading them or preparing their migration to a newer version of Drupal. We can start with an audit of the current situation in order to identify the technical, functional, security, performance and accessibility issues before defining the takeover strategy.

A Drupal site redesign generally takes place in several stages: audit of the existing site and project scoping, UX/UI design, definition of the architecture and features, development, content migration, testing and launch. At bluedrop.fr, we can also incorporate SEO, accessibility, eco-design and security. After the site goes live, we also provide maintenance and application management if needed to support its ongoing development.

No. bluedrop.fr is based in Marseille and operates throughout the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, as well as all over France. We work with organizations particularly in Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, Nice and Cannes, and more broadly in the main cities of the region. Our teams work remotely or travel on site according to the needs of the project.
