BPD Website’s Drupal to WordPress Migration
Desktop view
Overview
Migration from Drupal to WordPress using Profi.Dev custom theme, built with ACF Pro and Gutenberg blocs in order to facilitate the website management and make it easy to support the website in-house.
The Task
Upon receiving feedback from the client regarding the limitations and complexity of their existing website’s backend management system based on Drupal, we conducted a thorough investigation of the technologies and approach employed during its development.
After careful consideration, we recommended a revamp of the website using WordPress, which proved to be an ideal solution for the client. By migrating to WordPress, we ensured that the client would benefit from a more flexible and user-friendly platform, empowering their in-house content editor to effortlessly add articles to the blog and update website content with just a few clicks. This transition not only improved the ease of content management but also provided a more streamlined and efficient workflow for the client’s internal team.
We also advised the client to adjust the existing colour schema in order to make the website more eye-pleasant and accessible to users with disabilities or impairments, however the decision was to put it off until later, when working on version 2.
