If you’re starting a new Drupal project, consider using our list of top Drupal modules for 2022. Our picks include migration tools, modules to improve accessibility and UX, security, SEO, and more.

I started my career as a Drupal developer, but with time I shifted towards content strategy and user experience (UX), which made me realize, among many other things, how developer decisions impact design. That's why I believe any Drupal developer can use this advice: everyone who contributes to building a website also contributes to UX. When we all incorporate UX design thinking into our work, the quality of our output can only get better.

Drupal has long been known for its flexibility as both a content management system and a development platform. It’s one of the main reasons we at Evolving Web use Drupal. But, as we hear more about Digital Experience Platforms (DXP), what role does Drupal play in the new digital landscape? If you’re rethinking your digital strategy and deciding which technologies to use, how does Drupal stand up against other technology options?

2021 was an eventful year for the Drupal community. In April, we celebrated Drupal's 20th anniversary and participated in a month-long Drupal Fest. We also launched Discover Drupal and other initiatives to make Drupal more inclusive. We marked the end of life of Drupal 8 and the growth of Drupal 9 adoption with it.

We at Evolving Web had plenty to write about in 2021. From technical tutorials about Drupal 9 to articles about accessibility and inclusion, we aimed to deliver relevant information and useful insights to the developers, content strategists, designers, marketers, and technologists who follow us.

If you missed some of it, we'll save you some time and walk you through Evolving Web's ten most-read articles from 2021, from #10 to #1!

Recently, my colleague Kevin Porras and I did a presentation at Drupal Camp Costa Rica. It was a great event in which we had a wonderful time discussing plugins, services, events and events subscribers. After the session, we thought it would be nice to write something about it for those who couldn't attend or are interested in levelling up their Drupal module development skills.

That being said, here’s an introduction to services, plugins and events in Drupal. Read on!

Last August, I joined Evolving Web as a Content Writer & Editor. Three months later, I have to say this has been a fantastic journey! I'm super proud of being part of an incredible marketing team and a true digital powerhouse. Here I'll share a few impressions of Evolving Web and how its collaborative culture and welcoming environment have already taught me some lessons and enabled me to develop my skills.

Last week, I attended the 8th edition of Acquia Engage, a two-day event full of learnings and connection opportunities by Acquia, one of the largest contributors to the Drupal open source. We at Evolving Web are proud to be Acquia Silver Partners, allowing us to support our clients with Acquia's enterprise cloud and marketing solutions, which complement Drupal's open source content management tools.

Drupal 8 reaches end of life in November 2021. With the deadline fast approaching, we're getting questions from the Drupal community about how this change will affect them. Here's a quick Q&A based on the most frequently asked questions about it.

Why is Drupal 8 end of life before Drupal 7?

It's much easier to upgrade from Drupal 8 to 9 than Drupal 7 to 9. For this reason, Drupal 7 end of life has been extended to November 2022 to give Drupal 7 site owners more time to upgrade.

DrupalCon Europe 2021 is almost here. It is one of the major events in the Drupal community global calendar, and we at Evolving Web are very excited about it. After all, taking part in those gatherings is one of our favourite things about working with Drupal. We've been sponsoring and participating in DrupalCons for a long time, so we're proud to see these events grow and become the places where Drupalists share their knowledge and experiences.
