DrupalCon Baltimore 2017: the admin interface for an enduser

This talk explores the challenges of Drupal 8's backend interface, which maintains a similar look to Drupal 7, potentially hindering its appeal to modern users. The speaker addresses the importance of separating frontend and backend experiences, emphasizing how innovative design can transform the perception of Drupal from an outdated system to a contemporary tool for web development. By rethinking the user experience with a focus on design before implementation, the session introduces concepts like the Eleven Design project, which aims to enhance both frontend and backend interfaces for a more aesthetically pleasing and functional admin experience. Ultimately, this discussion highlights the need for a design language that prioritizes user experience while still accommodating developer needs.
