# What is a Drupal Site Builder?

#  What is a Drupal Site Builder? 

  

*Podcast episode player*

In this episode, [Addison Berry](https://www.lullabot.com/who-we-are/addison-berry) is joined by [Kyle Hofmeyer](https://www.lullabot.com/who-we-are/kyle-hofmeyer), [Dave Burns](https://www.lullabot.com/about/david-burns), [Jerad Bitner](https://www.lullabot.com/about/jerad-bitner), and [Sean Lange](https://www.lullabot.com/about/sean-lange) to discuss the deceptively simple question "What is a Drupal Site Builder?" This is a term that is bandied about quite a bit, but we wanted to try to zero in on what exactly a site builder does. We end up talking about several different roles that are often used around site-building, like themer, front-end developer, developer, and they relate to each other. In the process, Dave and Sean end up creating some new words too. What is a globulator?
