In this episode, we explore key takeaways from a Nonprofit Summit discussion and a detailed presentation on user experience (UX) in the context of Drupal CMS. The conversation begins by demystifying the concept of “migrating” to Drupal CMS—clarifying that it functions as a pre-configured Drupal installation with bundled features known as "recipes," rather than a new platform altogether. The episode also examines the support strategy for contributed modules within Drupal CMS and the rationale behind its focus on specific organizational segments.

The second half of the episode highlights a comprehensive UX research initiative aimed at improving the experience for content creators and site builders. Topics include the use of personas, benchmarking, usability testing (including the role of AI assistants), and the iterative learn-build-measure approach. Listeners gain insight into how structured UX practices are shaping the evolution of Drupal CMS into a more intuitive and accessible tool for nonprofits and beyond.
