Drupal Training

At ComputerMinds we know that to get the most out of your Drupal site you need to know how to properly use it, and the site itself will need some level of support after its initial build. We offer a range of Drupal training and support solutions to meet these needs, to ensure your site continues to work for you throughout its lifetime.

Flexible Training

Training Session
Training can take many forms from simply training your administrators and editors how to add and curate content in Drupal right the way through to technical training on how to actually get your hands dirty with code.

We find that each client is unique when it comes to their training requirements and are only too happy to discuss your individual requirements with you.

We can be flexible on location too, you can either come and visit us at one of our offices in Bristol or Coventry or we can come to you!

Recommended topics for key audiences include:

Editorial team

  • Confidence creating content
  • Managing Media
  • Understanding menus and links
  • Security risk awareness for content builders

For the right people

Getting the right training to those that need it, across your business or organisation, can be quite a task! We can confidently deliver training to all audiences face-to-face or over video link.

Train the trainer

When you need an in-house expert that can share knowledge across the team as needed, with time flexibility, we can train your designated Trainer with all they need.

For the team

Well-planned live-video or in-person sessions can be effective for training groups of Content Editors.

For management, IT and key stakeholders

Ensure that the people with the most at stake understand your site's security measures, GDPR implications, IT requirements and potential business benefits.

At the right time

During a new site build

Typically we aim to get you using the site as soon as we're able, which gets your feedback and your validation on the build so far - and allows your team to get practised on their editorial processes and workflows. Training at this point can give a great head start.

IT administrators may also benefit at this time from a dedicated slot to cover Drupal's hosting needs, interactions on your network or administrative processes and user permission management before the site is live and running.

Build confidence with existing sites

If your team feel low in confidence with their site, their frustrations can really affect morale. We can run discovery sessions to understand where people are getting in trouble, and build a training outline to cover exactly what's needed.

Glen Dimplex Group

At its core this project saw the requirement for an eCommerce solution being developed; however, we knew from the outset that in time a number of different sites would be required that would all utilise the same code so things had to be developed in a scalable fashion. What we were essentially creating was a platform on which new sites could be built without huge overhead. Not all the sites would require the same functionality so each would be configured to use only the relevant functionality from the core platform. ComputerMinds handled the development side of things with a design agency providing us with designs to drive the development. We also need to make sure that the sites tied in nicely with the client's ERP solution, which meant writing some magic to tie the two together seamlessly.
