Drupal 8 - A Boon For Digital Marketing | Position22. www.position2.com© Position2
The way the average mobile user is tied to a device of choice, marketers can pretty
much reach target customers anyplace, at any time. But when a visitor taps on a
button that doesn’t respond, the frustrated users’ buyer’s journey ends on your
digital doorstep. Drupal 8 is looking to solve that problem.
A large group of developers, keeping true to the community’s open source roots, is
working on Drupal’s Mobile Initiative. The goal is to make the Drupal 8 CMS mobile
platform the best there is in today’s increasingly mobile world.
The Drupal Mobile Initiative aims to address several key functionalities:
• Responsive themes
• Enhanced front-end usability
• Use of administrative forms on mobile
• Native app integration
• Ability to use the marketing software you already know
• Build campaigns with mobile in mind
• Add, remove or revise content with ease
• Easily deliver content segmented by audience, language and device type
Solving these issues will give users a much more satisfying experience on their
mobile devices. Websites will be quick to load, with easy to use responsive design.
And marketers will be able to adjust their websites on the go.

Mobile Accessibility
If your website content isn’t easily accessible on mobile, you have a problem. The
increasing use of mobile devices for access to instant information makes this
imperative. The Drupal Mobile Initiative will help that access happen. Themes and
modules have been developed for easy integration with JQuery Mobile, a framework
that allows for cross-platform development of high-speed, easy-to-use mobile sites.
Drupal 8 means faster access to customers, as well as a decreased chance of drop
offs due to site speed frustration– two things that need to be on any marketer’s radar.

Marketing With Drupal Doesn’t Need To Be An Uphill Climb
Drupal is a great platform for marketers. With the right modules installed its flexibility
and versatility simplify marketing tasks. For example, the metadata module tells
Google what your content is about. Content with no metadata is far less likely to rank
than the same content with well-optimized meta information.
