Project Success through User-Centered Design
In order to build successful products and services, a user-centered process is key. It’s them, not our stakeholders, or ourselves, who determine a favorable outcome. Although many talk about this, actually delivering on this is another matter entirely. I’ll walk you through a process of discovery, team buy-in, and continual testing to help ensure user success.
I’ll cover:
This case study explores the challenges faced and the solutions found when building a dynamic audit checklist. This checklist was an additional piece of functionality for an existing site that was largely out of scope from when the site was first built. This created a new set of obstacles since we needed our new functionality to work with our old code. This presentation will discuss how given those limitations, a solution was found that met the client's needs as well as made this a reusable component for future years and future sites.
Diverse work environment is a key for the successful growth of development team that can utilize different experiences and skills of team members with multicultural backgrounds. Diversity makes us stronger and allows to approach common problems from different angles. However, effective integration of people from different backgrounds into work environment can be challenging for both business owners and newcomers alike.
Nowadays Drupal is not simply a CMS, it's a big and complicated framework that stands behind large enterprise level websites.
Drupal is used successfully for government, high education and healthcare websites that store large volumes of data. Often enough these organizations need their data to be updated over night, monthly or annually. It can be as simple as stock information updates performed once an hour and as big as update of all programs and courses offered by the college and university including all of the program details and costs.
Dive into an exciting adventure with Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Search API in Drupal 8. Through the notes left by great detective the audience will learn how to configure their first search view, setup Search API with database back-end module and learn concepts that go beyond core Drupal search.

This will be an informal discussion about Drupal's permission settings and incorporating them with Drupal's Organic Groups module.
Does your website crave rich content and user-engagement? I will discuss a free, open-source solution called H5P that will change the way you think about interactive-content. What is H5P? Is it accessible? How can we leverage this innovative tool on our own websites? These are all topics we will explore as part of a comprehensive review. At the end of this presentation participants will be able to create their own H5P content and test it in a drupal environment.
"The learning curve is very steep!" "Drupal is only for Big projects." "Drupal is too hard for users." "Using Drupal for a small project is like shooting squirrels with an AK47!"
We've all heard these comments or read them in the CMS comparisons. But are they really true? Could you use Drupal for a small project? Why woud you use Drupal for a small project? We'll separate myth from reality and show you why those who go Drupal never look back.
Site traffic is at the core of any website. User psychology and interaction with the web is key to understanding your target audience. Understanding Google analytics and how it relates to content strategy is what can seperate you from your competition. In this session we will focus on reading and understanding Google Anlaytics and translate findings over to content strategy and user decision making process.
