Summary of Work

We audited their custom ExpressionEngine implementation from their past hosting provider and estimated the effort to migrate it to Drupal 8. We provided a scalable content strategy, Drupal 8 architecture and implementation, migration code implementation, and both backend and frontend development. We also ran SEO health checks, executed the ExpressionEngine to Drupal 8 migration scripts, and provided launch support during the site cutover.

We continued to work with National Nurses United by providing technical training to their internal staff and ongoing Drupal 8 development maintenance and support.
