Interview by the Drop Times, why I left agency life

Fons Vandamme has been building with Drupal since 2009. In a tech world obsessed with the next big thing, that kind of commitment raises questions. Is it just loyalty? Habit? Or is Drupal still holding its ground? Fons has asked himself those same questions over the years. Each time, he steps back, tests other tools, and comes to the same conclusion. Drupal still fits.

I owe a great deal to Drupal and the community around it.

Fons spent over a decade helping grow the Belgian agency EntityOne, wearing every hat from developer to strategist to business builder. That mix of roles shaped how he looks at tech today-not just what works, but what lasts. Now, he's channelling everything he's learned into his first solo product: Webhaven. It's a pre-built foundation for Drupal projects, complete with smart defaults, must-have modules, and a clean, extendable design. Whether you're just getting started with Drupal, have years of experience, or you're building for clients as an agency, Webhaven cuts out the repetitive setup and gives you the space to focus on what matters most-building features, creating content, and delivering results.

Kazima Abbas, Sub Editor at The Drop Times, connected with Fons to get his thoughts on community, curiosity, and why Drupal still feels like home.
