Yes, but in this context, it'd be like advertising the specific sort of carbonated water that's used in the Coca Cola. It doesn't really make sense to do that. In my experience, people don't really care what a site is built with as long as it's fast, scales well, and is easy to use. Past that, I haven't heard anybody ask about the specific framework unless it's a contracting gig with another shop.<div>

on what's being marketed. If the tool has a lot of cachet on its
own, which has taken quite awhile to develop, the marketing would
indicate using the name, such as Coca Cola instead of brown fizzy
water that tastes good, and sushi instead of cold, dead raw fish.<br>

Usually in marketing you want to sell the benefits, not the tools.
So I sell a well tested and supported software system, modular
with a lot of popular packages to scale and upgrade quickly, and
the customer's ability to easily go in and modify content (text
and images) themselves.<br>
<br>
Then I'll mention some top tier sites that use the same system to
prove it's a commercially viable system.<br>

<br>
I finally put up a <a href="http://new-media-solutions.com" target="_blank">new
site</a> for my business -- it's so much easier to do
other people's sites!! I showed to a friend last night.
First thing they said was "what's Drupal?" <br>
<br>
Just curious what other people's thoughts are in using the
word "Drupal" in your branding, such a "we build Drupal
sites"<br>
<br>
On the pro side, if that's what you do, you should make it
really clear, so people looking for Drupal work can find
you. (and there seems to be no shortage of people looking
for Drupal work)<br>
<br>
On the other hand, most people not in the business have no
clue what Drupal, or how to pronounce it for that matter,
so is using "Drupal" prominently on your site potentially
turning away business? <br>
<br>
I'm curious what others are thinking on this topic. Do you
put Drupal front and center? Do you not mention it at
all? <br>
