Client’s Profile

A renowned higher education institution offering multidisciplinary academic programs and extensive research facilities through its digital portal. The university’s portal is a central hub for student services, faculty collaboration, academic resources, and administrative tools, used daily by thousands of users across departments.

3x Faster Page Load Times
100% ADA & WCAG 2.1 Accessibility Compliance
2.5x Increase in Student Engagement Metrics

Client’s Challenge

The university’s portal was running on Drupal 7, which was nearing its end-of-life support. The site had grown heavily customized over the years with legacy modules, outdated themes, and broken APIs, causing accessibility issues, sluggish performance, and poor mobile responsiveness. There were also compliance gaps with modern accessibility standards, posing potential legal and usability challenges.

How We Solved Client’s Problems

Migrated the platform from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10, ensuring data integrity, module compatibility, and feature parity.
Rebuilt the portal’s architecture using Drupal 10’s modern theming system and component-based design for a more intuitive, mobile-first UX.
Integrated accessibility-first features to meet ADA and WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance standards.
Refactored custom modules to align with Drupal 10’s best practices, while removing deprecated code and optimizing backend performance.
Seamlessly transitioned all user roles, permissions, and workflows to the new platform without downtime.

Impact On Client’s Business

The Drupal 10 upgrade transformed the portal into a modern, fast, and fully accessible digital experience. Users reported faster load times, smoother navigation, and improved device accessibility. The institution saw a 2.5x boost in student engagement, particularly on mobile, and internal teams found the updated CMS easier to manage and extend. With a future-ready platform, the university is poised to scale new features, integrate AI-based learning tools, and seamlessly enhance student services.
