Want to build a website but not sure where to start? Join Brian Pichman as he shows you the quick tips for getting a website building on Drupal up and running. Drupal is a Content Management System; that if properly deployed can save time and energy in building interactive and powerful websites. Learn everything from setting up a server, what modules to set up and basic introduction on how Drupal works. You will also be able to play on your own Drupal Server (https://simplytest.me/).
Topics:
* Learn what a CMS is and does - and how it allows you to build websites with ease.
* Learn about Drupal, installation, and how to get started.
* Get a list of top modules to include in your Drupal environment
Desired Outcomes:
Attendees will be able to build a quick and beautiful website. This would be a stepping block to either replacing your library's web page (at a very low cost) or allow users to spin up a basic website for promotion of a single event or space in the library.
