Episode Synopsis

Send us a textMost Drupal demos fail not because Drupal is weak, but because the demo itself is wrong. Empty installs, slide decks, and fragile sandbox environments don’t help stakeholders understand what Drupal actually does. Instead, they reinforce the perception that Drupal is complicated, unstable, or unfinished.This discussion breaks down the three most common Drupal demo failure patterns and explains why credibility is lost when demos rely on imagination instead of proof. It outlines what a proper Drupal demo requires: instant access, real content, safe exploration, and the ability to reset every environment. The core idea is simple but counterintuitive — the best Drupal demos are disposable. When demos are designed to be reset and thrown away, stakeholders can explore freely, evaluate honestly, and see Drupal solving real problems without risk.Research source: https://www.perplexity.ai/page/demoing-drupal-in-2026-and-why-A2V7PcOaSa21kvx_eW3kPQVideo : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnhgA4sTUFQ---This episode of DrupalBrief is sponsored by DrupalForge.org DrupalBrief.com
