ACCESSIBILITY done right for GLAD

Back in 2019, one of our digital partners, SwissTomato, brought us a new and exciting opportunity. We were challenged with implementing a new notification system for the website of GLAD network (gladnetwork.net). The GLAD Network (The Global Action on Disability Network) coordinates with bi- and multilateral donors for the inclusion of persons with disabilities in humanitarian action and international development.

Selecting the right Drupal version from 7, 9 and 10 with matrix for decision-makers

Update: Drupal 8 is EOL and Drupal 9 will be EOL in November 2023, thus Drupal 10 is the go-to version for all new projects. Drupal 7 will receive limited security support until January 5, 2025, but that's a very old software, if you are still on Drupal 7, start the upgrade process.

There are 3 supported major versions of the Drupal CMS. This is not an easy situation for many decision-makers. We’ve been working with Drupal since core version 4. Let’s break down the differences between these three different versions of the Drupal CMS to help you better understand what fits your needs and gives you the best opportunity to have an effective website that delivers you value.

Huge media libraries cost-effectively in the cloud

We are experienced in building DAM (Digital Asset Management) platforms using the open-source Drupal 8 CMS. We have developed a distribution, meaning it’s quick and painless to set up. Our latest achievement is to plug our DAM to the relatively inexpensive and reliable AWS S3 or Spaces storage services to store terabytes of images, videos, or other types of media assets.

CRM integration - 5 takeaways from the PM's perspective

In early 2018 we did a site remake for the Trigo Group, and as part of it we took over the sales lead management from the legacy system. This way we stored personal data in the Drupal for a giant company with many branches in dozens of countries and even more sales colleagues. But as the company grew, a more mature CRM system was needed to handle all the requests. Today we celebrate the 1st anniversary of starting the planning phase of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM integration into our Drupal system and due to this event, we share our experiences and lessons we've learned from a project management perspective.

A Privacy Experience Approach to your site’s Cookie Consent in a GDPR World

Protecting a user’s privacy rights with a website begins with your first line of code.  From this point on, all developers should have data protection in the back of their minds.  This is especially true for the backend.  Once that’s been acknowledged, the frontend has its own data protection measures that need to be taken, the most relevant of which is a site with a concisely written (presented content), easy-to-use cookie consent.
