Program Overview: What is CMS and Web Content Platforms (WordPress, Drupal)?
CMS & Web Content Platforms (WordPress, Drupal) is an instructor-led program for developers, content architects, and digital teams who build and run websites on the two leading open-source platforms. Over 24 hours and six modules, participants cover CMS foundations and the platform landscape, WordPress setup with themes and content modeling, Drupal architecture with content types and views, content workflows and governance, and APIs and headless delivery. The program ends with a multi-site content platform build as the capstone.
Every module is hands-on inside real WordPress and Drupal installations: spinning up sites, building block themes and plugins, modeling content types, and wiring REST and GraphQL integrations for headless delivery. The instructor reviews each build, fixes misconfigurations live, and presses on the governance questions that decide whether a CMS succeeds: roles, workflows, and multilingual publishing. Multisite patterns are practiced, not just described. The capstone asks each team to deliver a working multi-site content platform, reviewed end to end.
Teams that choose a CMS by habit end up with fragile sites: plugin sprawl, broken upgrades, content models nobody can extend, and publishing workflows editors hate. This program teaches teams to evaluate WordPress and Drupal on their merits and to build content platforms that editors, developers, and governance owners can all live with. Participants learn to design for the whole lifecycle, from first install to the third major upgrade.
The capstone is a multi-site content platform build: real sites on WordPress and Drupal, content models designed for growth, workflows and roles configured, headless APIs wired, reviewed by the instructor against production standards. The review doubles as an architecture consultation on each team's real platform choices. Participants return able to build CMS platforms their organizations can maintain for years, and able to explain to stakeholders why the right platform decision saves more than it costs.
Over six modules, teams move from CMS fundamentals to a full multi-site capstone build. The program covers WordPress block themes and plugins, Drupal content types and views, governance and multilingual publishing, and REST and GraphQL integrations for headless delivery.

Build Structured CMS Platforms With Governed Publishing and Connected Content Delivery
Edstellar connects WordPress and Drupal foundations with content modeling, approval workflows, and API-based delivery. Participants build representative site sections before integrating publishing roles and headless pages. The final platform review examines the fit between content structures, editorial responsibilities, and working integrations, supported by demonstrations rather than isolated configuration screenshots.
- Step 01
Consult
We review web familiarity and publishing responsibilities to identify gaps in CMS content models, editorial roles, theme structures, and API-based delivery.
- Step 02
Plan
We compare platform foundations before WordPress models and Drupal views, then governance workflows and headless integrations within the multi-site platform build.
- Step 03
Align
We align CMS instruction with developer, content manager, and digital-team roles, accounting for platform versions, theme experience, and unfamiliarity with APIs.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor company-site, news, and events examples to representative content needs while preserving role-based approvals, scheduled publishing, and translation exercises.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants build content types, configure approval stages, and consume CMS APIs, receiving feedback on modeling consistency, editorial usability, and integration behavior.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the platform for coherent content models, functioning publishing permissions and workflows, working API delivery, and clear justification of design choices.
