Quickstart

A Complete, Customized Drupal

Quickstart is a complete, customized version of the popular Drupal content management system, not an add-on to an existing Drupal-based web site. Previously, to start a new Drupal site, you would prepare a web server and database and then download the Drupal core software from drupal.org and install it.

This would produce a minimally functional web site with no content, which you could then customize by adding themes and modules to fit it to your needs.

Increasingly, however, you can download Drupal distributions, which not only contain the core, but also complete sets of additions to make it almost immediately useful for a particular purpose, such as an online storefront.

Quickstart is a combination of Drupal 7 core, plus many additional features and modules specific to the University of Arizona. Quickstart also comes pre-packaged with demo content that you can modify or delete for your convenience.

Featuring Arizona Bootstrap

Quickstart uses a custom, University of Arizona branded version of Bootstrap - a mobile first HTML, CSS, and Javascript framework. We are continuously working to make Quickstart accessible, flexible, and highly customizable.

Arizona Bootstrap

Arizona Bootstrap is the University of Arizona's flavor of Bootstrap (aka "Twitter Bootstrap"), a popular HTML, CSS, and JS framework for developing responsive, mobile first projects on the web.

The Arizona Bootstrap example page is an introduction of how a site leveraging the framework looks and feels. Change your browser size or look at the page on multiple devices to get a sense of the responsive design.

Arizona Bootstrap provides a portion of the frontend styles found within Arizona Quickstart.

Improving Arizona Bootstrap

Any release of Arizona Bootstrap (including the initial 1.0.0-alpha1 release) is tested and ready to use. But improvements to the framework are in everyone's best interest.
