bluedrop.fr is a Drupal Certified Partner, an official status within the Drupal Association's partnership program. Drupal Certified Partners represent the top 5% of Drupal contributors and are the experts who contribute the most to Drupal.

Our Drupal Certified Partner certification

Recognized and certified developers

  • 7 developers from our teams have the "Vetted role" on Drupal.org. This status recognizes experienced contributors who are actively involved in the ecosystem.
  • Two of our developers have also obtained a Drupal certification awarded by Acquia, the company of Drupal's founder.

We don’t just use Drupal, we help it grow.

Our teams have contributed to more than 20 modules and projects on Drupal.org, by developing solutions to issues encountered in our projects. Our approach to open source is simple : when a solution developed to address a problem can be useful to others, we prefer to share it.

Two of our most widely used modules by the community :  

  • Deindex Unpublished Files : Used by more than 50 declared Drupal sites, this module helps prevent files associated with unpublished content from remaining publicly accessible or indexed by search engines. A contribution born from a concrete challenge involving both security and SEO.
  • Page Cache Exclusion : Used by more than 500 declared Drupal sites, this module provides more control over Drupal's page cache and helps prevent unnecessary entries from impacting database performance. A technical response to a real performance issue.

Participation and sponsorship of Drupal community events

An open source community doesn't only live on GitHub or Drupal.org. It also thrives in conferences, discussions, and sharing experiences. That's why we regularly participate in and support Drupal community events. In particular, we sponsored the DrupalCamp Rennes in 2024 and the DrupalCamp Grenoble in 2026. We also presented our R&D project there, DropFactory, a console for managing a Drupal site factory. The project was opened up for feedback and testing by the community.

Drupal and us...

Creation of Drupal

Drupal is a free and open source content management system, first developed by Dries Buytaert in 2000.

First Drupal site

While we use several CMSs, we discover Drupal during the design and development of a francophone media group's website in Lebanon. It marks the beginning of a long-standing technical loyalty...

Drupal Specialization

Won over by Drupal’s architecture and the anticipated streamlining of our development process, we have chosen to develop all our new projects with Drupal. We are involved in the Drupal community in France.

Creation of the bluedrop.fr brand

We position the bluedrop.fr brand and its website to showcase our Drupal expertise within the French-speaking Drupal community.

Rationalization of our environments

We are launching a research and development (R&D) program to optimize our hosting, continuous development, and deployment infrastructure for our Drupal projects.

The story continues...

95% of the activity of the agency bluedrop.fr concerns the Drupal CMS and associated micro-services.

FAQ - Your questions about our Drupal expertise

Drupal is particularly suited to complex web projects and structural ones: institutional sites, corporate platforms, editorial portals, intranets, business applications, multisite platforms or site factories.

It is also relevant for organizations with significant needs in content management, security, user management, workflows, multilingualism or interconnection with their information system.

A Drupal project is based on architectural choices that will have a lasting impact on its security, its performance, its scalability and its maintenance cost.

Working with a specialized agency gives you access to teams who know the best practices within the ecosystem, the available modules and their limitations, as well as the specific challenges related to migrations, maintenance and complex architectures.

Yes! We support organizations in the migration from their platforms to the latest versions of Drupal, including Drupal 11.

A migration is not just about updating the core of the CMS. It involves analyzing the modules used, the specific code, the themes, the data and the connections with third-party applications in order to establish a reliable and long-term migration strategy.

Drupal is an open source solution: its source code is accessible, auditable, and can be hosted and operated without relying on a proprietary vendor.

This model allows organizations to maintain greater control over their digital platform, their data, and their technology choices. They remain free to choose their hosting provider, their technical partners, and the solutions with which their site interacts.

Thanks to its large international ecosystem and an active community, Drupal is also a sustainable alternative to proprietary platforms and to situations of dependency on a single provider.

At bluedrop.fr, we see open source as a driver of digital sovereignty : controlling your infrastructure, ensuring the reversibility of technological choices, and keeping the ability to sustainably evolve your digital tools.

Our teams support organizations throughout France and internationally with their Drupal projects. Historically established in Marseille and with operational presence in Paris, bluedrop.fr works with large groups, institutions, local authorities and organizations of all sizes, regardless of their location.

Our teams regularly work on projects carried out in Île-de-France, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and across the entire French territory. Our organization also enables us to support remote projects or those involving teams spread across multiple sites.
