People don't access the Internet exclusively from their computers anymore: they are also using smart phones, tablets, smart TV's and video game consoles. New devices with different resolutions and technologies are launched frequently; creating and maintaining a website for each and every one of these devices is almost impossible.
This is where the "responsive web design" concept comes from: instead of making custom designs for each device, we can design one for an optimal experience that adjusts to the device that accesses it.
We started the training talking about what Drupal is, what can do with and the community behind the platform.
Drupal is one of the most versatile CMS today and the one used to build many of the web pages that we visit every day.
Drupal is defined as a content management system in the first instance by many, but lately it has been used as a framework for the development of web applications.
As a continuation of my blog post about Too many options is not always good, I will write today about another way to make the websites we design more engaging to the visitor.
Let's say we got this product that has some amazing features, whistles, whatnot, and we want to sell it. We are trying to explain it in the simplest way for the visitors to understand it and hopefully buy or subscribe to it.
Understand how Drupal can be used as the main platform in different areas of business and thus reduce maintenance costs, training and licensing.

This week, I was investigating how to improve the user experience of website visitors. The first thing that might come to mind is choosing the right font.
This is a really simple tutorial that explains how you can build a site with multiple register forms for different types of users using the modules Auto Assign Role, Content Profile and CCK.
The screencast was recorded in spanish but feel free to ask on the comments if you need any help.
