Don't Design Websites. Design Web SYSTEMS.

1. The role of designers in a web project. Drupal's theme layer is very flexible and can accommodate just about any design. It's important for designers to remember, however, that they're not really creating a page — they're building a complete system to house the all of the site's content and functionality.
2. The design process used at Four Kitchens to ensure a successful web project.
3. The tension between a design and a CMS. Should your design be optimized for your CMS? Or should you modify your CMS to achieve your design? In other words, are you walking the dog, or is the dog walking you?
4. The future of the CMS and how you can "future proof" your web project and process. For example, we will discuss when a CMS should be "decoupled" so that the frontend and backend are entirely separate.
