Drupal Site-Building

Images are a dominant component of modern website content, often comprising 50% to 90%. As developers, we are often caught in a tug-of-war: stakeholders demand high visual fidelity, while Core Web Vitals demand speed. It isn't about picking a side—it is about engineering the perfect balance.

In this session, we will move beyond the default Drupal settings to build a better image pipeline. We will benchmark PHP GD vs. ImageMagick to help you choose the right toolkit for your architecture. We will also dive into the technical nuances of resampling algorithms (Lanczos vs bilinear interpolation), demystify ICC color profiles, and discuss when to strip metadata versus when to keep it.

Join this session to learn how to deliver crisp, professional visuals without sacrificing your site's performance.

Drupal CMS began from an ambition to place the power of Drupal in the hands of non-technical audiences, in other words to engineer features powerful enough for developers yet accessible enough for marketers. Drupal CMS 2.0 tackled this head-on, with innovative technical solutions to real user problems without compromise. 

This session takes you behind the scenes of Drupal CMS's most ambitious features giving insight into the research that’s driven and guided technical development so far, and highlighting the milestones still to be achieved on the roadmap to making Drupal CMS the number one choice for marketers and non-technical site builders. I’ll break down techniques used to learn what marketers want (spoiler – it’s not always what they say they want), explain how we gathered evidence to guide the direction of new features and talk through ways to use UX insight as a catalyst for working innovatively. 

Local Authorities do more than shift units, business processes involve complex workflows, forms, as well as price books, and taking payments. This is a practical case study of work done for, and by, Walsall Council (UK) using LocalGov Drupal and contrib modules.

Stop mapping fields by hand: this session shows how the module AI Content Migrate can detect repeatable patterns in legacy pages, propose content models and mappings, generate selectors, recover media, and produce ready-to-run migration files that generates faster iterations, fewer surprises, and safer rollbacks.
