Build a small Drupal section with the content types, fields, taxonomy, and editorial roles the site requires. Have an author draft and an editor publish a page, then check media, URLs, search visibility, and the experience on mobile.
Modules and upgrades shape long-term maintenance. Inventory required extensions, rehearse an update on staging, and restore from backup. Migration is successful only if editors can maintain content and old URLs and assets keep working.
