Chapter 8: Drupal's Interface

Working on your site's interface to make it distinctive and attractive not only requires some technical know-how when it comes to Drupal, but like any design-like task, it also needs some creativity. Your site as it stands at the moment is fully functional and doesn't look awful—it's a bit plain, but it will get the job done! As you will see, however, with a bit of effort creating something entirely new is not out of your reach, and as you might expect, Drupal comes with a host of features to make our lives easier.
