Drupal powers many small-to-medium websites, from personal blogs to company intranets. Drupal also powers big sites like The Economist and The White House. How are the big sites different from the small ones? What are the main issues to consider when adopting Drupal for the enterprise? What skillset do developers need to build them?
You know how to use Drupal. You know how to write code, build a theme, and SEO a site. But do you know how to teach others to use Drupal? For every site we create there are clients who must use it, many don't know a node from a block. After this session, you will be able to introduce clients to Drupal without freaking them out.
We'll cover:
* Defining "need to know" and emphasizing main concepts
* Thinking like a user, talking like a mentor
* Using normal words with a sprinkling of Drupalese
* Breaking down tasks keeping each user's personality and background in mind
* Translating "my site's broken" into a useful and respectful response
* How to think like a non-geek (for a few minutes)
