Clients sign off on designs. You build a website for them based on these designs. It looks quite like the designs, but not exactly like this. It's not your fault. It's not the client's fault. But wouldn't it be nice if you could build what the client signed off on?

In this session I'll look at lambasting my most hated design tool - Photoshop. In short, it's for editing photographs, not designing websites.
Then I'll talk a little about something more modern - SketchApp - built especially for designing user interfaces, but still falls waaaay short when you want to give your clients designs that they can touch and feel and smell and see exactly what they are going to get.
Following, I'll talk about "Design for the Browser" and/or "Design in the Browser". Basically, using modern tools such as PatternLab and Component-based design principles to give your clients an interactive prototype of exactly what their final product will look like. Not an approximation of it, the thing itself - so the product they get is the product they sign off on.
Clients can test this design on phones, tablets, watches - heck, even computers! - and make sure it works before they get you to implement it.
Finally, we'll see how these static prototypes can be integrated with Drupal, so that the template of the mockup is the template used by Drupal - again, to make sure the design that is signed off on is the design that is delivered. No compromises. No surprises.
This presentation will describe the role that some of the major internet companies like Google (Analytics), Facebook (Business pages) & Twitter are playing in today’s society and how they can benefit you as an individual or small business.

The session is ideally suited for those who want to calculate the ROI of Social media, understand what function the Website should play, its Goals & the Automation Process. It will also show you how your can build Brand awareness & picking the Social media platform is right for you.
Presentation Overview:
At DrupalCon Dublin 2016, Ben Wilding of UK web design firm Cameron & Wilding presented the results of a survey of the "leading" Drupal agencies world-wide: reporting on Drupal 8 adoption by agency clients and those agencies' experiences working with and selling Drupal.
Upon delivery of the presentation, more Drupal providers immediately offered their own results, and the survey is also being offered in the upcoming Pantheon newsletter which will reach many more contributors of varying scales. The data by mid-November should yield a more complete picture than the one obtained by the initial survey.
I have asked Mr. Wilding's permission to deliver the second round of results at DrupalCamp Cork, to support Drupal adoption in Ireland: especially the challenging task of overcoming the barriers to adoption presented by conservatively minded businesses.
