Site Building

These are the notes from my session at DrupalCamp Florida

Spin up a free Drupal CMS 2.0 site at https://drupalforge.org 

While no two websites are the same, the process of discovery (finding out what the job will entail) has some standard approaches.

I asked ChatGP to create the outline of the discovery process for a Drupal website and Nano Banana 3.0 Pro to create a whiteboard   To say this is incredible from an AI image generator is pretty insane.

A city website is more than just a digital presence—it’s a central hub for communication, services, and community engagement. This checklist outlines the essential features that help a small city website serve residents, support staff, and promote transparency.

Drupal Camp New Jersey, hosted by Princeton University, is an exciting event for developers, designers, and site builders to enhance their skills and knowledge in the world of Drupal.

There are many ways to host Drupal websites. 

I have never been a fan of distributions in Drupal.  They can be hard to keep updated, cannot be retroactively added to a site, do not allow mixing and matching of features, and you're often at the mercy of the distribution maintainers.  As such, all of the Drupal sites I've built in the past few years are Core and Contrib, with a smattering of Custom development when necessary.

This session was presented by Mike Herchel at DrupalCamp Chattanooga in 2024.

This is a handy infographic about the advantages of using Drupal.  It’s free to download - free to use.
