Mentoring and Training

Our mentoring schemes work well for the following scenarios:

• You are a Web Manager and need help maintaining or extending your platform
• You are an inhouse designer and need help with your site frontend improvements and components
• You're an organisation seeking to build in-house capability from a standing-start, you've been outsourcing, and now it's time to bring those projects in-house  
• You're a company with in-house teams looking to grow capability, or to retrain their teams

We excel at collaborating with both individuals and teams—from Editors to Webmasters and Developers—offering tailored mentoring to meet your needs. Whether you have clear objectives or need us to identify opportunities for improvements, we partner with you to create programs that deliver measurable, effective results. We understand that culture and team dynamics are essential for fostering a thriving environment.
 

Effective developer practices training

• Balancing "good enough" solutions with test-driven development (TDD)
• Collaborative practices like pair and mob programming foster teamwork, while knowledge sharing and documentation ensure clarity and continuity
• Code reviews maintain quality, and automation—alongside thoughtful tooling—streamlines workflows
• The rise of AI offers new efficiencies, but strong problem-solving and debugging skills remain essential.
   

Developers navigate diverse software types, deciding when to source proprietary tools, evaluate and contribute to open source, or build from scratch. Engaging with open source projects further hones adaptability and community collaboration.
 

For a webmaster we can:

• Efficiently manage and update your Drupal site
• Content creation
• Manage user roles 
• Permissions settings
• Module configuration
• CKEditor editing and configuration
• Organising content using taxonomies
• Site security and updates
• Basic troubleshooting. 

By the end, you’ll be confident in maintaining a functional, user-friendly Drupal site and resolving common issues independently.
 

For a Drupal site builder:

Participants will learn how to create and customise a dynamic website using Drupal’s core features and contributed modules.

• Drupal’s architecture
• Setting up a local development environment
• Installing Drupal
• Exploring the admin interface
• Build a content-rich site by creating content types, fields, and taxonomies, and use Views to display content in custom lists and grids. 
• The session will also cover layout management with Layout Builder, user roles and permissions, and basic theming with Olivero or Claro. 

By the end, you’ll deploy a functional site using best practices for security, performance, and accessibility—equipping you to manage and extend Drupal sites confidently.
 

Mentoring or training - which is right for you?

Typically we figure this out in initial conversations with our clients. Our ultimate objective is for organisations to evidence that their teams are operating at the highest levels whilst the individuals that make up those teams feel fulfilled, challenged and productive.
