Drupal is an extremely versatile platform when it comes to the ease of integration with other services or APIs. So we did not have a second thought when a client of ours came up with a request to create a website to provide Free SMS Service. We decided to integrate the SMS Gateway API with Drupal and create the site.

The site was supposed to be very simple with just one page for the public interface (in phase 1) and a bit of management functionalities around the SMS integration. The UI design was provided to us and we just had to convert the design into a Drupal theme. The code for the SMS Gateway API integration was created as a custom module which also handled the single public form for the site.

The final outcome is the easy to use Free SMS Service - Zipit.in
