Webinar to Compare Managed Drupal Platforms and Custom Builds

Project teams facing a Drupal upgrade, migration, consolidation or rebuild are the focus of "Right-sized Drupal: Matching your platform to your requirements," an online webinar scheduled for 31 August 2026 at 17:00 UTC. According to the Zoom event listing, the presenters are John Doyle, CEO at Digital Polygon, and Ashraf Abed, founder of Drupito.

The webinar will compare projects suited to a managed platform or site starter with those that require a more complex custom build. The announced criteria include content-model complexity, integration count, governance requirements and the organisation's internal capacity. The discussion is intended to help teams establish those requirements before committing to a delivery approach.

The agenda also covers a five-year cost-of-ownership model that accounts for upgrades, hosting and staff time. Doyle and Abed are expected to discuss early signs of scope drift, checkpoints for correcting it, and ways to structure a scope of work without committing to a platform approach before sufficient project information is available. The listing describes the session as a conversation using two or three slides and a working set of decision criteria on screen. Registration is available through the Zoom webinar page.
