Starshot Initiative Aims to Make Drupal Accessible to All Users

Staff Reporter

In a blog post on Annertech, authored by Alison Visser, the Starshot initiative is detailed as Drupal's ambitious effort to make the platform more accessible to all users. Drupal founder Dries Buytaert believes Starshot will eliminate entry barriers with its new, user-friendly CMS. Starshot will come with pre-packaged starter kits and a no-code layout experience, enabling users to quickly launch various types of websites, from portfolios to e-commerce. This initiative aims to attract smaller enterprises and non-developers who previously found Drupal too complex.

Starshot’s new Experience Builder module will allow site builders to theme and construct entire websites through their browsers, empowering content creators to add content independently. Despite these enhancements, Drupal's rich features will remain intact and more accessible. Dries emphasized at Drupalcon Portland 2024 that this initiative aims to democratize web creation by making Drupal's powerful features easy to use for everyone, particularly junior developers and newcomers.
