Presentation
One of Drupal's greatest strengths comes from it's flexibility and ability to model content so well.
Successful design agencies will tell you one of the keys to a successful project is the discovery process. You need to build a content and information strategy first. Then you can create the visual designs and build the site.
We will explore how the discovery and development process changes depending on whether you are building for a platform versus a single site. Then we can leverage Drupal to do the heavy lifting for already solved problems and take that to the next level with distributions.
Let Drupal take care of the standard so you can build the amazing.
RSVP Now! Drupal Nights are FREE events! Let us know you are coming so we know how much food to order.
This event will also be live broadcast via YouTube starting around 7PM EDT.
