From a Large Static HTML Site to a Drupal Powered CMS
The Need
The Archdiocese Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America (Archdiocese) wanted to use its Antiochian.org web site to promote awareness and understanding of the Orthodox Faith and the work of the Archdiocese. They needed a web site to serve as a tool for effective communication to various audiences, including persons within the Archdiocese, other churches, the general public, and the press.
The site had to be easy to use for site visitors and for those who added content and administered the site. The site’s appearance and user experience needed to be pleasing, as well as serve to further communicate who the Archdiocese is as an organization and as a church.
Sections of the site needed a cohesive look and user experience, to communicate unity across its many departments and organizations.
Web site accessibility was also an important consideration when developing the organization’s site.
The Results
Successful migration of the organization’s main web site from a large static html site to a Drupal powered CMS, realizing the following benefits:
- A web site based on a system and standards that are widely supported in the business and non-profit communities, providing many new support options
- A standardized system to make updates in a timely fashion and provide better support
- Improved search capabilities for visitors to easily find content relative to their interests and needs
- A better audio system, improved video postings, an easier way to syndicate content and to enable users to subscribe to the site content

I recently reviewed a number of client cases from over the past years. I’m reminded that I have been privileged to work with some great clients; doing great work together. I’ve selected a sample of cases to share with you because of the successful results the work produced for the client.
