The Simplenews module for Drupal 7 fulfils most people needs when it comes to sending mass emails to a mailing list. For the right business, such as the country pub in the video, email can represent huge value to their marketing efforts. It is free and instant. However professionally running newsletter campaigns requires some key requirements. Allow anonymous users to subscribe through the website. Double opt-in to maintain a high quality mailing list. This means that people must click a link in a system generated email. Unsubscribe links in every email HTML branded emails (colourful vs plain text) Analytics needs to be installed in order to measure performance. The Simplenews module along with several other required modules all come together to provide such a system.

When a page is loaded, any images on that page must be downloaded so as to be displayed.. By compressing the images we can make huge saving on those files when downloaded. This can reduce the page load times quite considerably vs no compression at all. In this tutorial I will show you how I compress images using RIOT. This free tool is one of the most used programs for this job. It can produce .jpg, .png and .gif files. It can also compress multiple images at once. The well worn phrase in SEO is that "All else being equal, the faster site will rank first". This is a must have addition to any would be website designers kit, who is struggling to speed up their website. https://onlinebusinessbuilders.co.uk/sites/default/files/drupal-video-training/riot-image-tool_new_compressed.mp4 yes 2015-08-03 no Guy Doughty https://onlinebusinessbuilders.co.uk/videos/drupal-7-using-responsive-nivo-slider-slideshow https://onlinebusinessbuilders.co.uk/sites/default/files/og-images/videos/opening-slidenew_4.jpg Drupal 7 Using the responsive Nivo Slider slideshow This very short Drupal 7 video demonstrates how to work with the slideshow slides once Nivo Slider has been installed.

In this video tutorial I provide a quick tour around the Rooms module for Drupal 7 . The rooms module is best suited for hiring out rooms as the name suggests. That said it can be developed into a resource booking website for most use-cases. For example tool hire, car hire, wedding equipment, B&B, hotels . The only limitation is that bookings must be in increments of a day. So hiring anything for an hour wouldn't work. First of all I create the "unit description" and upload an image for it. Then we create a "Bookable unit type" and reference the previously made unit description. Then we create the actual bookable units. You can see how easy it is to quickly add multiple units of the same type. Having created our units we then perform a search and make a booking as a buyer. As the buyer we can later view details about our order. Lastly I'll show you how the backend looks from the point of view of the website owner. https://onlinebusinessbuilders.co.uk/sites/default/files/drupal-video-training/introduction_to_drupal_rooms_compressed.mp4 yes 2015-02-15 no Guy Doughty https://onlinebusinessbuilders.co.uk/videos/drupal-7-how-install-node-gallery-plupload-and-colorbox-facebook-style-albums https://onlinebusinessbuilders.co.uk/sites/default/files/og-images/videos/opening-slidenew_2.jpg Drupal 7 How to install Node Gallery, Plupload and colorbox - Facebook style albums This video shows how to set up Facebook like photo albums on your Drupal 7 website using Node Gallery.

On our Drupal websites we use a module called " Webform " to provide the functionality of the contact form. Webform can be set to forward new submissions to any number of email addresses. As well as auto-reply emails to the person who submitted the information. Generating new enquiries via your website is usually the main objective of your website. Webform has been developed over many years and is very good at doing it's job. The last thing you want to do is create it from scratch and be left open to bugs that could cost money.

You can try out this demo website here: http://demo.onlinebusinessbuilders.co.uk/drupal7 It shows how easy it is to create a new page on one of our Drupal 7 websites. It can be designed to look however you want Drupal itself has a "Theme" that controls the way the website looks. So a Drupal website can look however we want it to look. We also design custom Drupal Themes that work on mobiles as one of our Drupal web development services . We also briefly cover how a Drupal 7 website can have many users. Each users can have many "Roles". Each role can have its own set of permissions that lets users of that role do certain things on the website. Perhaps viewing "Members only content", post comments... It can be developed to do what you want... This video doesn't go into detail about the more advanced feature's of Drupal. Such as: Allowing for a large number of people to share and contribute to stored centralised data; Control access to data or content based on user role (i.e., define information users or user groups who can view, edit, publish, etc.) In Drupal you can set these permissions for roles down to field level. In this way you can define sections and certain fields to be viewable by one Role but not another. The same applies to editing; Facilitate storage and retrieval of data, which can become quite advanced. Such as filtering lists of content by different fields etc; Control data validity and compliance. That is, a field could be defined as a email address. We can then run a validity check on submissions, to ensure that it is valid; Improve communication among users. This can be achieved in many ways for example user blogs, comments, private messaging, Facebook-like chat... to name a few. The 10,000+ modules (plugins, addons) that are freely available to use.

In this video tutorial I show how to use Google Analytics to measure our performance in search. We get to see what queries or keywords the site is being displayed for. We also get to see how many times the search is being done. Lastly we can see what position the website is for each query. Essentially the idea is to first research your keywords . Then create optimised content that relates to your chosen keywords. Finally, we use Google analytics to measure the traffic on the website and position in Google. Once we can see the popular searches or queries as they call them, we can see the easiest buying terms to target. Then we refine existing, or create new, content to increase relevancy for the query or keyword. We repeat this 3 step process over and over until we're satisfied with the business it is generating.

It is what allows to see what people are searching for, so that we can cater for what they want. This Drupal demo video walks you through the process of doing keyword research. I use the Google Keyword Planner to identify related keywords to a website. Then consider which ones are important by looking at the monthly volume of searches for each keyword. Then compare that to how much competition there is for the keyword. Once this information has been gathered you can move on to creating relevant content. Ensuring the keywords that you have found are contained in your pages.

Without understanding these techniques and applying them, your hard work creating the content won't pay. It won't matter how good the Drupal web developer is, without great content it is just an empty shell. This Drupal demo video discusses the different formatting options that we have available for text and images, that can help your websites performance in Google. Headings The use of headings helps to break a page up for the reader. It can help them understand the topic of the following paragraph without fully reading it. It works the same way for Google, it helps them better understand the page as well. It is therefore important to get your keywords into them. The word "Headings" proceeding this in big bold letters is of course a heading. Bold Text to emphasise keywords The use of bold text can be used to highlight keywords and phrases to the reader and it kind of works the same way with search engines. It's not going to change everything but every little helps. This shouldn't be overused because it will loose its positive effect. Deep linking keywords to your other content When we link to pages from within our main content, we call it "deep linking". Sometimes we make a image into a link and other times it is text itself. In either case it is a good opportunity to link your keywords to the page. For example, you create "Service A". When you create "Service B" you may have the opportunity to work a link to "Service A" into the page. Remember of course that the text for the link doesn't have to be the same as the pages title. It could be other keywords that also represent the page effectively. You could of course use an image to link over to "Service A". For example remember to watch the video about researching keywords for SEO . This can lead to a richer user experience in terms of site navigation and means you can keep the main menu simple, whilst https://onlinebusinessbuilders.co.uk/sites/default/files/drupal-video-training/on-page-seo-compressed.mp4 yes 2014-11-10 no Guy Doughty https://onlinebusinessbuilders.co.uk/videos/drupal-7-portfolio-website-add-images-text-areas https://onlinebusinessbuilders.co.uk/sites/default/files/og-images/videos/opening-slidenew_5.jpg Drupal 7 portfolio website - add images into text areas. The website used in this video is fully customisable and available to purchase. It's a great general portfolio website for people or companies. In this Drupal video I demonstrate how to add images into text areas. Sometimes referred to as inline images. I also cover adding the Alt text and image title. The Alt text is what gets displayed when the image doesn't load. The title text is displayed when you mouse over the image. Both of these things are critical to get a return from Google for them. Basically without the Alt text and title tag, you may as well not have any images from Google's point of view. Those two things are the only way Google knows what the image is and then they contribute towards your relevancy. The most relevant being the first in Google amongst other things. The Drupal 7 website in this video can be purchased and fully customised to suit your business. Our website design company can also be hired for various website development services .

This has been developed by us, so you won't find this in a standard Drupal website. Main features that my Drupal web development company has added to this page are: Only need to enter city, county and post code. Map gets generated on the new service page. Text is automatically generated for the page that is pre-defined using "Tokens". A new marker for the area is added to the map on the front page. A new link is added to the footer for the area. Adding service areas is important when local search engine optimisation is important. If you have a global audience it becomes irrelevant. Take myself for example, if I want to come up for "Eastbourne web developer", I have to have a page for it or at least mention the phrase. Eastbourne of course being my local area.

That said, I can't see any reason why it couldn't be used for Drupal websites using other image and video modules... This method was inspired by bensnyder's comment on Drupal and made possible with code from voxpelli . In order to follow this Drupal video you'll need to: Install Views (Updated since making video) Install your own player, Google apparently won't index the embeds if you use a direct YouTube URL for the player_loc. I decided to use the JW Player Module for Drupal Install Views datasource , specifically "Views XML" You'll need to apply this patch for Views datasource to allow "XML fragments" Install Views Field View so you can embed the 1st view into the 2nd view Install Drupal plain views . This removes the mark up around the embedded view. The video then demonstrates making the two views that are used to create the Google video sitemap. The idea is to build the 1st view to pull the data out that is used within the <video:video> and </video:video> tags. Then build a 2nd view which embeds the 1st view with it's corresponding node path within the <loc> tags, if that makes sense... Here's a brief description of the two views: The 1st view: Basic settings Style "XML data document".

Organise them poorly and your website will be a nightmare to find information. Organise them well however and your website will be a dream find the right information quickly. They say that no one piece of content should be more than 3 clicks away from any other page. There's some food for thought! I'll show you how to add a new menu to the website and then go onto adding menu items. The first way that we can add new menu items is from the Page that the menu item is for. The second is from the menu edit screen itself. It is here that we can re-arrange the menu items should we wish.. Lastly it shows how to add the descriptions, that display when you mouse over a link. This is a good thing for SEO. As the menu is likely to be shown on many pages, it is certainly advantageous to write keyword rich descriptions for each menu item.

This allows you to easily embed any YouTube video on your websites page. It is even possible to globally skin the player used, for a really customised look. It should also be noted that YouTube now allow unlimited uploads of up to an impressive 20GB. So outsourcing the hosting of your videos to YouTube is a great way to keep your own hosting costs down. Once your video pages have been created we then create a video sitemap to submit to Google. Taking this one step further, you can also overlay ads from various Ad Networks and monetise YouTube videos.

Occasionally some of my brave customers like to have the choice to do this themselves. Of course generally speaking this is something that my clients never do themselves and they pay me to do this for them. In the Drupal video I demonstrate: How to create a new content type. A content type is what we refer to as a particular type of page. For example a video content type may have a video field, where other content types do not. Set a optimised url for the pages belonging to your content type. This url will then be used to automatically the generate the urls for each page belong to the new content type. Create a page that lists it all pages belonging to the new content type using "Views" This video doesn't get into adding more advanced fields and configuration of views.

It is often the case that the clients who I develop websites for will buy their domain name from GoDaddy. GoDaddy is the domain registra where we buy a human friendly web address from. From there you can host your website with them or host it else where. If you host it elsewhere you'll have to change what they call the "Name Servers". Jargon aside, this tells GoDaddy what servers are responsible for hosting your website. So someone will request example.com. The request will go to GoDaddy and they will route the request to the server that hosts the website. This part happens in the background, so the visitor will only see example.com in their browser. It is highly recommended to use different companies to be your registra and then provide hosting. This way you always hold one of two keys to the website. Fall out with your hosting company, you just change the names servers to point to your new host. Fall out with your registra, you just change registra's and transfer the domain name to them. As soon as the switch as happened, hardly anyone will notice. This video shows how you go about adding or changing the name-servers on GoDaddy. The "Name servers" for hosting your website with us are: NS1.ONLINEBUSINESSBUILDERS.CO.UK NS2.ONLINEBUSINESSBUILDERS.CO.UK https://onlinebusinessbuilders.co.uk/sites/default/files/drupal-video-training/adding_or_updating_the_nameservers_on_godaddy_compressed.mp4 yes 2012-02-28 no Guy Doughty https://onlinebusinessbuilders.co.uk/videos/uploading-and-adding-images-photos-your-site https://onlinebusinessbuilders.co.uk/sites/default/files/og-images/videos/new-slide-2016.jpg Uploading and adding images/ photos to your site This is a Drupal 6 demo video of how to upload new images and photos to your site and display them on a page. It also demonstrates how to align your images with your text. Additionally how to optimise your images for Google search. Key things to do when uploading and adding images are: Rename the image file before uploading to something relevant. Include "Alt" text. This displays if the image link ever becomes broken. Include a "Advisory Title". This is displayed when you mouse over a image. Enter "beautytips" in the "Stylesheet Classes", to have the "Advisory Title" display as a Beautytip.
