Outstanding admin UX

Drupal is a powerful tool for creating and managing structured content, which can result in an overwhelming admin experience for someone who isn’t well-versed in Drupal terminology or UI conventions. Fortunately, Drupal is extremely flexible and extendable, which allows us, as builders, to create a sensible, focused experience for content admins.

We’ll walk through admin UX improvements that leverage tools from the contrib and core space, along with admin theme, architecture and UX customizations to create a top-notch admin experience. We’ll cover everything from planning to implementation and how to make sure you are squeezing as much as you can out of your Drupal admin UI.
