Create Once, Deploy Everywhere: How Drupal and Pantheon One are Changing Higher Ed Web Development
by Matt Cheney, Co-Founder and Head of Products at Pantheon
Drupal is quickly becoming a dominant technology for building higher education websites. Powering over 28% of all .edu sites, Drupal offers a flexible framework on which many universities can standardize their website development efforts. Add into the mix Pantheon's cloud-based hosting and leading-edge development environment and you have a partner and platform that is robust, flexible, and ready to face the rapidly evolving world of web development.
Learn a more efficient way to build, launch, and maintain higher education websites. See how Stanford University and UC Berkeley are using Pantheon to standardize their development process, enhancing the maintainability and longterm viability of the sites they build. Get an overview of industry leading higher education "distributions" like Open Academy, Julio, OpenEDU, and Harvard's Open Scholar, which provide lots of useful functionality "out of the box". Follow along with examples of how to create a custom "distribution" for your university containing consistent branding and functionality. Experience a demo of how to manage and update all of these sites in the cloud using the industry leading Pantheon One management dashboard.
