Drupal Website Models evolved from a personal scrapbook, in which I collected web site ideas for inspiration and to make my work faster. It is expected that the reader will use it for that and nothing else. There is no pretense that every Drupal website that exists has been examined in the process of writing this book. Many of the sites listed were submitted by either the owners or the developer that built them. Most were gleaned from Internet forums.

Personal websites are often created by individuals to contain content of a personal nature. The content can be about that particular person or about something which interests them. Personal web pages may be for information or entertainment purposes. Several people maintain personal websites because they are the most effective medium to express their opinions or to display creative endeavours that, otherwise may not have an other outlet. An example is a personal site built to contain creative outputs such as short stories or samples of artwork.

A Learning Management System – LMS, is software that teachers can use to publish their coursework online effectively and efficiently. An example is the Open Source Moodle framework. The LMS is being successfully integrated in the following manners at most educational institutions:
1. To post PowerPoint Notes, Word documents such as labs or worksheets for students to view if they were absent and/or to review at a later date.
2. To provide links to online resources, audio and/or video recording of lessons, lectures, quizzes, or tests.
