Drupal 6 Nice Menus > A Visual Quick Start Guide

There are many times when I need to explain a concept or process to a client. I often want to do this expeditiously, quickly, clearly — without resorting to setting up a training and driving across town armed with laptop and the rest. Besides, empowering the client to manage his or her own content represents a core component of our business philosophy: the tasks that the client can learn to perform and manage (assuming she wants to do this) regardless of the type of Web site allows the job to be done at the client’s pace, saves dollars and we believe creates client satisfaction. Leaving certain maintenance work with the client also frees up Site Shack to spend valuable time on more essential work, including the continuous tech training that we go through to stay current, or try to stay current.

In 2010, Site Shack created a great Drupal 6 multi-site for Garrison Service Company in Nashville. The site design featured numerous sidebar menus, all of which would need modifying over time. And of course we wanted the folks at Garrison to have the chance to create new menus too. But how to explain the beauty — albeit the somewhat intricate beauty — of Addison Berry’s (okay, I’m pretty sure that Addison Berry created Nice Menus) brilliant Drupal module? I knew the telephone and/or Skype wouldn’t be sufficient for training a Drupal newbie but neither was the car-trip-laptop-training quite warranted (unless I had other training to provide, which I didn’t).

Long way to say: Site Shack created a handy Drupal 6 Nice Menu visual guide to building all the nice menus you or your clients could ever want. So enjoy. I hope it helps someone else out there in Drupal Menu Land.
