Secrets to Drupal Success on a Budget
The orgs I love to work with most are almost always on fairly tight budgets. I often find that people's expecations of how a website should be built is backwards, or it's generic andonce Drupal has been chosenthis generic approach does a great disservice to a project budget. In a typical scenario, the org and designer consider the content that needs designing, come up with a web design and sitemap, and then expect Drupal developers to map that vision of the site into Drupal, and perhaps fudge the places where it's not a perfect fit.




It's been a very busy and summery summertime for me. Lots of berry picking and being outside, swimming and picknicking. Work-wise, I've been building a Drupal 7 site for a great nonprofit org with whom it's been a joy to work. It's a sizeable site with a complex design. I was worried that Drupal 7 wouldn't be up to the task. But so far, so good.
There's Facebook and Twitter, and many of us spend a fair amount of time there, myself included. But I belong to many other smaller online communities. Some of them are particularly interesting places where there are tech-related socializing and resource-sharing discussions that I don't want to miss, and so I check in with them regularly. Here are my current favorite nonprofit tech geeky places to hang out online:
