UX Magazine running on Drupal

by Constantinos Demetriadis

What a week! We have a bunch of new and exciting stuff to announce this week, but we'll start off the day by announcing our transition to Drupal. UX Magazine is now running on Drupal 6. The design has been left intact, although most of our frequent visitors will notice a dramatic upgrade regarding the sites' speed. We've also moved all out stuff over to the Rackspace cloud. We might still have some unresolved issues in the backend, and we might have to double up on some feeds but please bare bear with us, this is all part of the transition...

We have lot's of exciting announcements coming this week. Stay tuned by following us on twitter or by subscribing to one of our feeds

I used to have problems with the UX magazine website because of the long time it took to load each page. It loads much faster these days, assumingly thanks to this Drupal system which I applaude.

It's great to see somebody take the time to post some postive feedback about Drupal. Maybe this will show through as a beacon for those stuck where you were, questioning their journey with Drupal. Well done with your site too, an excellent example. Kind regards, Cody Phillips

Drupal is surely an affective software to run your web sites. It just take about 15 minutes to install the software therefore its very quick.

Drupal is blogging tool, Drupal on the other hand can be molded into serious complex applications. If you want a blog, you can have that too.

I would really appreciate if you can share your reasoning behind the switch to Drupal. Not that there is any doubt about Drupal; just wanted to know the advantages of it you considered. Thanks for the great post by the way. Olive Joy Villegas SEO Services | SEO Expert

Drupal is definitely an awesome way to go. The real test is whether it increases productivity in your organization and satisfaction from your customers. Btw, I'd be interested in finding out what others think about the best hosting companies for Drupal. You can compare hosting companies at Best Web Hosting Review.

I swear I could put all the Drupal nay-sayers in a room and test them on the subject matter and they'd know nothing about the product. While it may be more difficult to use than Wordpress, it's 20X the tool. Drupal is blogging tool, Drupal on the other hand can be molded into serious complex applications. If you want a blog, you can have that too. Congrats on your choice. Do you decide to get an subscription with Acquia in case you need help?

Drupal is really great. I think for the breadth of what drupal does, it is pretty easy to learn and administer a site. I'm not saying it is perfect - far form it, but of all the things I think the simplicity of it stands out for me. This, in part, stems from some of the architecture and design (not the implementation as I think not separating presentation from model is a huge mistake) - for example, nodes and what they are and how things like collaborative books work. This architecture/design makes for, in large part, the simplicity I speak of. By the way, nice post. Keep posting. I'll be following you.

Why don't you release the theme? Free or premium? I'd be interested in it! ;)

Looks and works great - shame there aren't as many updates any more - any particular reason you chose Drupal over the rest of the platforms? i.e. Wordpress etc Joey @ techdesigns - web design

Thats a good news, Drupal is a very good platform for managing your contents and but as I am visiting your site for the first site, which platform you guys were using prior moving to Drupal ? And how's it performing since many big-scale organizations uses Drupal and regard it as the best content management platfor ? Regards Ryan Mathys (Point Loma real estate)

Take no offense, but UX Magazine is a site with a great design but with a poo content. Most of the article of the frontpage are 2007 dated! :(
