Slides of the Amplexor Drupal Mini Seminar on 8th March 2012.
Amplexor has been building high traffic websites for over a decade. In 2008, Drupal was added to our portfolio of Web Content Management systems - and with the arrival of Drupal 7, there was a massive interest amongst website owners to migrate their website to this new & promising platform
During this seminar, we will provide you with an overview of the possibilities for building large scale, high performance websites with Drupal. Not only you will get an insight in the functional and technical possibilities of the platform, but also of the possible caveats.
The last session will focus on how to make (Drupal based) websites future-proof. The number of people accessing websites through mobile devices is growing extremely fast, so it is important to make your website accessible to those. Hence the importance of HTML 5 and Responsive Design among others. Moreover, the focus on content is more important then ever. In this session, we will go over the possible strategies for making your website more accessible for next-gen devices.
