If you’re reading this book, you’re probably a web designer who has heard of Drupal, wants to get started with it, and may have even tried it out a couple of times. And you might be frustrated because even if you’re used to code, Drupal has thrown you a major learning curve that you hadn’t expected. And just when you think you’ve gotten a basic site together, now you have to figure out how to make it look right—and the whole process starts over again.

Yep, I’ve been there too. That’s why I wrote this book.

This book, which brings together the first three Drupal for Designers guides with some new material, a more logical flow, and better grammar, is for the solo site builder or small team that’s itching to do interesting things with Drupal but needs a bit of help understanding how to set up a successful Drupal project. It’s for the designer who knows HTML and CSS, and is willing to learn a bit of PHP, but doesn’t want to have to learn how to speak developer in order to parse Drupal documentation. Most importantly, this book is for those who want to use Drupal to make their vision a reality, but need help working their minds around the way Drupal handles design challenges.
