Oct 2013 Santa Barbara Drupal meetup

There hasn't been a Santa Barbara Drupal meetup for a while and I'm really looking forward to it. I'll be happy bring enough Drupal Watchdog magazines to so that everyone can have one.

Here's a description of the "Performing Site Audits" presentation I'm happy to give (time permitting) at this meetup. I think it will take about 30 minutes.

Have you recently acquired or taken delivery of a complex Drupal site? Is your Drupal site ready to launch? How do you know if it's stable and maintainable over the lifetime of the project? The way to find out is to perform a site audit — a review of the website code and hosting environment — and identify areas for improvement.

This featured presentation, by Christefano Reyes of Exaltation of Larks, focuses on best known practices for site audits of Drupal websites. He will cover the different types of audits, including general maintainability audits, security audits, usability audits, content and SEO audits, performance audits, and so on, as well as the checklists and tools used to perform them.

This is not a sales-oriented presentation and is dedicated instead to sharing and advancing our community's best known practices around performing site audits. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to contribute to our shared resources in the Site Audits group at http://groups.drupal.org/site-audits whenever possible.
