This presentation will show, live and without a net, the how and why concerning these three models of Drupal 7 site architecture. Each of these three has a fit (or maybe even more than one) for most sites of even medium complexity.

Choosing the right approach is important, as going down one path for too long, can make a site much harder to support and maintain that it could be.

The focus of this presentation will be Drupal 7, as some of the modules are still under development, or may have significant design changes, with Drupal 8.
