Medium Customization
These sites demonstrate an approach of using most of the default look-and-feel and content features of the UT Drupal Kit, but with minor theme customizations, one or two custom content features for site-specific use-cases, or minor customizations/changes to the available Drupal Kit add-on features such as Events, News, or Profile.
Customization efforts such as these can generally be accomplished by a single developer with a solid knowledge of Drupal development. Specific skills needed depend heavily on the type of customization(s) to be performed.
Development effort for these types of sites is typically between 50-200 hours. ITS offers development services under the “UT Drupal Kit – Custom” service offering, or units may do their own development and customization under the “UT Drupal Kit – Self-managed” service offering.
