Developers love Drupal for a hundred reasons, not least because it makes you look like a rockstar coder whose answer to any functional request is always 'Yes I can'.
However answer me this honestly, how did the training and handover to the client go ? Did you find yourself apologising or explaining away certain areas or buttons that don't actually do anything - or worse "ah this is actually a developer's feature".
Like me, you may have looked at the admin themes out there as an aftermarket bolt on to improve this - or perhaps you're happy for your clients to use the little black bar?
In this session, I will share the experience of delivering Drupal sites that a client can actually maintain long term - busting the myth that Drupal sites can only be maintained by developers.
Best of all, you don't need to wait for Drupal 7 to do this!
About the Speaker:
Richard is a 'veteran' of the CMS world, having worked on his first CMS back in 1999. After joining UK Digital Agency i-KOS in 2001 as a Technical Director, Richard set about building a CMS from scratch using J2EE. In 2007/8 it was time to wave the white flag on our proprietary system (even though we had amassed a user base of almost 1000) and head into the Drupal light. In 2009 i-KOS became an Acquia Gold Partner - which in 2010 has been consolidated as an Enterprise Partner.
