Many Drupal developers consider site builders to be some of the most important users of their products. Dries regularly talks about how to “Improve the site builder experience” in his state-of-Drupal keynotes. But how well do you understand what site builders do? Do your solutions work for them? Who is this mythical site builder that is using the software you create?
This fun, fast-paced session will help you learn how Drupal can work better for this crucial group of users. Find out why that patch you created doesn’t really help, what it’s like for one person to do everything from devops to UX and QA, how critical documentation can be, and why so many organizations are still using Drupal 7.
- Find out about the unexpected pain points that site builders struggle with.
- Get to know the unique experiences of site builders working in a variety of environments including large educational institutions, small co-ops, and nonprofits.
- Gain knowledge that will enable you to create better products that leverage the skills and experience of site builders to make complex websites on a reasonable budget.
NOTE: This session will be updated from the version presented at DrupalCamp Asheville (attached as an example). If selected for 45 minutes, more illustrative examples will be included. If 20 minutes, it will be simplified with less explanation of each point.
