THE CHALLENGE

Modernized and Transformed an Academic Website Without Losing Its Content

Frederick Abbott’s website contained valuable academic content, publications, presentations, and supporting resources that needed to remain accessible through a modern platform.

The Drupal 7 foundation also created limitations around content management, navigation, usability, and long-term maintenance, making modernization necessary without disrupting the existing content ecosystem.

OUR APPROACH

Moved a Scholarly Archive to a More Flexible Foundation

We approached the migration by understanding the existing content structure before rebuilding it within Drupal 10.

The work focused on preserving valuable content while improving the website experience, simplifying content management, and creating a stronger foundation for future updates.
