Where we can help
Useful for your visitors.Manageable for your team.
Good design and well-structured content make a platform easier to use and maintain. They also give search and AI tools the source material and context they need.
Editorial work keeps growing
Your team needs practical help preparing, revising and maintaining material inside its existing workflow.
AI needs platform context
An assistant or search tool needs the right source content, permissions and business rules to be useful.
What SDEV builds
Design the experience.Build the tools behind it.
Website design & Drupal development
We design the website, structure its content and build reusable components and editorial tools. Your team can maintain a consistent experience as the site grows.
AI search & content discovery
Semantic search helps people find relevant material even when their wording differs from the content. Drupal applies the eligibility rules that shape the results.
RAG & knowledge assistants
We build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) assistants that find supporting information in your content before generating an answer. Retrieval and responses connect with Drupal’s access rules and relevant media.
Editorial AI & automation
Editors can prepare drafts, revise text and work from transcripts or documents inside Drupal. Suggestions remain subject to review before publication.
How the parts work together
Useful answers.A platform that stays in control.
AI services retrieve information and generate responses. Drupal manages the source records, permissions and editorial status. SDEV builds the preparation, retrieval and interface that bring those parts together.
Answers grounded in your content
Prepare source material and retain its relationships, so responses can point back to supporting content.
Access rules carried through
Connect the AI experience with authentication and media permissions in the existing platform.
Tools your team can maintain
Give editors ways to update knowledge and re-index content as the underlying material changes.

How we work
A clear starting point.Support beyond delivery.
Find a useful starting point
Review the visitor or editorial task, available content and platform rules. Agree what the first implementation should do.
Design and build
Develop the interface, Drupal functionality and required integrations, then test the complete user journey.
Support and improve
Maintain the platform after launch and use feedback and your team’s priorities to guide improvements.
Common questions
The detailsthat matter.
Starting a project
Do we need AI to work with SDEV?
No. Website design, Drupal development, relaunches and editorial tools are core parts of our work. We add AI when there is a clear task it can support.
Can AI be added to an existing Drupal platform?
Yes. SDEV built SonoAssistant and AI Course Search within 123Sonography’s existing Drupal platform. We first review the content, access rules and user journey to establish what an integration needs.
How does a Drupal and AI project start?
We discuss the task, review the existing site and content, and agree a focused first scope. That establishes what needs designing, building or integrating.
AI and editorial control
What is the difference between AI search and an assistant?
AI search helps people discover relevant content or products. An assistant responds to questions using supporting knowledge. Our Course Search and SonoAssistant cases show those two approaches separately.
Which AI services does SDEV work with?
Our 123Sonography projects use Drupal AI, Search API, OpenAI and Pinecone. The choice for another project depends on its source material, retrieval needs and existing systems.
Can editors review AI-generated content?
Yes. IVA’s editorial tools prepare suggestions and source-based drafts for review. Editors check the content and retain responsibility for publication.
What should your platform make easier?
Tell us about your existing platform, the problem you want to solve, your key integrations and intended timeline. We’ll review the fit and agree a useful first scope.
