Question

I’m learning Drupal to save some production time for my websites, but it looks like it’s the other way around. Maybe it’s because I’m a beginner but I’m seeing that I spend a lot of time trying to make Drupal adjust to what I want, and it’s not saving me time at all, maybe it comes with some ‘ready to use’ stuff but the time required to set it up, ‘theme’ it, etc it’s actually bigger than the time I would need to code it and put it there.

Am I just a CMS noob or are these things overrated?

Answer 1

I wouldn’t use Drupal. I think that might be your problem too. Try something like Joomla. As a programmer, its fun to ‘reinvent the wheel’ to learn how stuff works but in the real world where time == money you need to think about what you can get working the best and quickest.
