Anne Easterling

One of those print media folks who’ve made the smart transition to digital media, Anne Easterling built her first Drupal site in version 4.7, converting a hand-coded HTML site and successfully integrating CiviCRM on the first try. After building and running Drupal sites for non-profit organizations for several years, Anne turned her focus to theming and the user experience. Anne believes that what makes Drupal so powerful for front-end developers is the theming layer, and that when theming is done properly, there is an elegance in how the data is structured and rendered.

Anne has been responsible for building and maintaining themes for sites ranging from small mini-sites to large, high-traffic sites, working on up to ten sites at one time. Anne is always improving to her core strengths in CSS and HTML and adding to her Drupal skills. She loves finding the right module to make building pages easier, making sites look and function properly on different platforms, and moving toward HTML5 and CSS3.

A native Texan, Anne now lives with her husband and their two cats in Central Florida, just two miles north of Disney World. When the weather allows, she enjoys working on the patio, where she can hear the steam train whistle from the Magic Kingdom. She’s a theme park junkie who ends every day watching fireworks from her back door!
