Part 1:
When it comes to considering what is the best CMS for a website, most don’t know up from down or Drupal from WordPress. At Mobomo, we consider ourselves Drupal experts and have guided many of our clients through a Drupal migration. Drupal is a content management system that is at the core of many websites. Drupal defines itself as “an open source platform for building amazing digital experiences.” These simple Drupal terms, or taxonomies, make it sound easy, but it can, in fact, be very confusing. Listed below are some popular terms defined to help make the start of the migration process what it should be, simple and easy:
Key Terms:
- Theme - this refers to the look and feel of a site and it is determined by a combined collection of template files, in addition to configuration and asset files. Drupal modules define themeable functions which can be overridden by the theme file. The header, icons, and block layout are all contained within a theme
- Content-Type - Every node, see below for definition, belongs to a content type. This defines many different default settings for nodes of that type. Content Types may have different fields, as well as modules may define their own content types.
