Currently Danland been used in at more than 3 thousand websites, with the age of Danland theme that is still very young this is a pretty good achievement.

Danland theme is very simple and very easy to be modified according to your taste, even for new users though. Here are some testimonials of Danland's users that we collect from Drupal.org and emails sent directly to our address:

The need for high quality themes for Drupal are very high, but is not in Balance with the availability of quality themes on the market, therefore we plan to make a Drupal theme shop.

This is a project of Danetsoft's co-founder Danang Probo Sayekti and Kenneth Riber Anderson. Now they are still planning this project carefully.

Finally, the beta version of Drupal 7.x was released, and now has reached beta 1. There are many improvements in this beta 1 version:

• All critical data loss and security bugs in Drupal 7 is resolved.
• APIs are now frozen enough so module and theme maintainer can start to upgrading their module and theme to support Drupal 7, and this is good news for us :)
• Caught and fixed most of the problems with the upgrade path.

We personally also have begun upgrading our themes. And expect when the final version of Drupal 7 is released, all of our themes already support Drupal 7.

About two months ago we created a custom theme for IceBreak Community. The theme that we use as a base theme is Danland.

Here we're changing so many parts of the standard, and adding new features that did not exist at our free theme Danland. Features that we add such a transition effect for the menus and block.

On 1 November 2010, SCHACK have switched to using Drupal. Another Drupal powered site created.

Switching to Drupal is a very appropriate decision, Drupal has a lot of contributed modules and we do not have any limits. And of course would be very easy to add new features depending on our needs.
