Making Drupal Consumer-Friendly: Win More Clients with Modern Hosting & an Ambitious Marketplace

According to the Small Business Administration, 99.9% of businesses are small businesses. Since Drupal 8, our community has largely focused on the remaining 0.1% of businesses.

If we want our industry to grow - and if we want to build solid incomes and thriving careers with Drupal - it’s time to expand beyond that 0.1% of sites.

Drupal CMS helps, but we need a consumer-friendly, end-to-end experience, from getting started to hosting (and ongoing revenue, when possible).

Removing friction from launching new sites with Drupal, as well as creating opportunities to earn revenue from Drupal-based products, has been my team’s north star for more than two years.

In this talk, we’ll give a live demo of Drupito, a modern host and marketplace that changes the game for builders, agencies, and evaluators.

You’ll learn how to win more Drupal projects by providing consumer-friendly hosting, working within more modest budgets, and still making a profit.

This isn’t just a dream. Here’s what Aaron “Checo” Pacheco, a respected expert who worked on one of the most prominent Drupal hosts, had to say after seeing a demo of Drupito:

“As someone who spent a decade trying to build and optimize a Drupal hosting platform, I’m astonished by how elegant and powerful Drupito is.”
— Aaron “Checo” Pacheco

And this talk isn’t just a sales pitch. We’ll cover how to pursue smaller clients, how to win those projects, how to build more efficiently so you can profit from smaller-budget projects, and how to create recurring revenue with Drupal.
