4. Methodology
We have used Drupal for the development of this beauty service providing site. The site has used
the Drupal 8 features. The site has been developed to encourage the user interaction with the UI
of the site.
The Drupal CMS defines content of a site as nodes, or self-sufficient portions of information on
the site. The nodes of the site links to other nodes on the website. The nodes in the site are s are
organized into collections that can be sorted by the developers.
This collection can be published and updated with site navigation menus available for the
different user groups. The content nodes are cached to the user browses and XML based.
Therefore, it will be possible for the users to launch fast and advanced search queries through the
entire content tree in the CMS, making it easy for the visitors to easily find the content on the site

without too much effort. The site is developed in such a way that the users will have consistent
view on all the devices such as their laptop, tablets and smartphones. This will encourage the
users to visit the site on the go.
The site consists of mainly five nodes, which are Home, Service, Blog, About us, and Contact
Us. As the site is a Prototype for the actual site thus the pages contains links to the different
functionalities such as log in, registrations for a new account and password recovery page for the
users.
5. Modules Used
Many different type of modules are used in this Drupal website. The list of modules is -
 Block - Controls the visual building blocks a page is constructed with. Blocks are boxes
of content rendered into an area, or region, of a web page.
 Color - Allows administrators to change the color scheme of compatible themes.
 Contact - Enables the use of both personal and site-wide contact forms.
 Forum- Provides discussion forums.
 Image - Provides image manipulation tools.
 Pantheon Platform API - Integration with the Pantheon Platform
6. Exploration
In this website - Each node includes a title for it, body containing the main content such as text,
rich media, video files that will help in engaging the users
On the contact page the user will be able to contact and provide feedback to the business or the
developed about the issues they face while visiting the site or booking a service using the site.

7. Peer Assessment
This website has been designed individually. I have used Drupal 7 to design the webpage. All the
works and technical aspects have been done individually.
8. Summary and Conclusion
This website is design prototype based. Here, the developers used all the functionalities of a
website. However, in future, several technical aspects can be incorporated such as Google Map
for real time search, link the website with social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, google
plus, Online Boking including secure payment using SSL technique, etc. SEO technique can be
incorporated for better result.
9. Reflections
I have learned lots of things by for completing this project such as I understand the technology
for preparing the website using Drupal. Technical aspects including designed tools, image insert,
creating links, creating new tabs in the webpage, etc. has been understood properly. I learned
also the use of Drupal CMS where it can be found out that developers can easily add the nodes to
the existing website in minimum efforts.
