Summary

In this chapter, we developed the requirements for Baker James' Artisan Bakers Collective website. We also looked at some of the possible methods of building the website, before deciding that Drupal is perfectly suited for this type of site.

Now that we have our requirements for the website and have decided to build it using Drupal, it's time to get our hands dirty and begin building the website. In this chapter, you successfully installed and configured a development server environment and also installed Drupal. Congratulations! You should be proud of the work you have accomplished so far!

We will start with the basic functionalities that 99 percent of the websites need and then gradually move on to more complex tasks. We will use a step-by-step approach to building the site, so that you can follow along with the examples.
