It is advisable to put some effort in research and hire an efficient service provider rather than wasting your money in getting quick solution by picking up any company. You can only cultivate the advantage of a best CMS like Drupal when it is deployed by a company of equivalent potential.

Put a little effort and spend some time in choosing the company that can exactly meet your business requirements. You certainly have decided to go for Drupal as a CMS just because it is the best CMS in the industry but a lot depends on the company who will integrate it within your website. The company you have randomly picked might not have its hold on Drupal integration and obviously, a poor integration won't render the real benefits of Drupal.

First, you must be clear about your Drupal requirements and customization. There are few points which you must ask or look into prior before making a deal with the company:

1. Be clear about the service you need.

2. Look for their past work/portfolios. Ask them to share their case studies or white papers, if any.

3. Ask for the projects they have recently completed so that you can get a fair idea about their experience and their technical proficiency.

4. Put your queries on the table and discuss it with them. Try to keep your discussion transparent.

5. If you got any references, show it to them with your own point of difference (what you would want differently). This will help you to explain for them, to be able to understand your requirements.

6. Ask questions to them; try to get some of their clients' feedback. This will help you to gauge their expertise. You should also gauge the SEO friendliness of the projects they have delivered so far. For SMBs ranking is one of the important channel to get visitors & business. And SEO optimized website are more likely to get rankings.

Budget is another important thing to consider. As per requirements and the additional customization, the quote of the project will keep on rising. So keeping your budget & requirement in focus, discuss it with the service provider. If they would have enough experience in the industry, they will definitely suggest you some alternative and even if your requirement is exceeding your budget because no service provider would ever want to drop any prospect client.

How often have you heard of somebody needing to call out a plumber and consequently being charged a not-so-small fortune for a job which takes only a few minutes to fix?

I have assembled these tips based totally on my private experiences to save you the time, money and incovenience of such call-outs. Each hint or tip is inside the capability of all owners and owners.

1. Know the placement of the key water stop valve : Confirm you know the site of the primary water stop valve ; this, usually is under the kitchen sink or under the floorboards at the front door. It should shut off the cold water to all of the taps in the property in the eventuality of a plumbing emergency. Infrequently this is going to be checked to guarantee it is working properly and effectively ceases the flow of water into your property.

2. Use isolation valves: Isolation valves are generally used on most new installations and are recommended to isolate individual appliances i.e. tap or wc in case of servicing or leaks so that they can be turned off without turning off the whole water supply to the property.

3. Mend leaking and dripping taps quicky : If you notice a leaky tap or dripping overflow ensure you mend it immediately as it can end up in extra damage or harm at a later stage to you or your property.

4. Insulate pipe work: It is a good Idea to make sure that pipe work and storage tanks are well insulated to protect against freezing in exposed positions such as roof spaces.

5. Don't panic! In the event of an emergency do not sweat. Switch off the water supply through your most important stop valve and drain down the dribbling pipe work. If you're doubtful where the leak is coming from the best action to take is to switch off the water, open all taps in the house ( to clear your 'in house ' supply ), switch off the heating system and by putting a hose on a drain off point on one of your radiators, open the drain off and vent the radiators thus emptying all of the pipe work in the house and often reducing the damage caused to the property and call a plumber.

6. Get suggestions for plumbers and check qualifications: It is better to get a plumber which has been advised to you by a chum or relation. You must ask if they have the applicable qualifications to execute the needed work and whether or not they do both plumbing and heating call outs in the event of an emergency. And ask them what sort of work they carry out ; some plumbers and heating engineers have a tendency to specialize in certain roles, and only do those roles.

7. Use a new plumber to do a small job in your house before using them for a large project: It is also a good idea to get a plumber out to do a small job in your house so you know how they work, and ask them if the would mind making a list of any remedial work that may be needed in your property. It is also a good idea to get a couple of estimates and ask specifically what they are going to do and what type of material they are intending to use, as the cheaper estimate may not be the best as some do tend to compromise on materials to make an estimate seem more attractive.
