An outdated Drupal 7 CMS and complex configuration hindered user experience, making it difficult for Morningside staff to manage content and locate valuable educational resources across devices.
The Drupal 7 configuration was hard to manage, and the site’s outdated design rendered poorly on mobile devices, leading to a poor user experience across
devices.
The sitewide search did not work well, making it challenging for users to find related lessons and content of interest.
Valuable “Teachable Moments” lessons were challenging to discover, reducing their accessibility and shareability for educators.
Fíonta completely rearchitected and redesigned the website, replacing Drupal 7 CMS with Drupal 8 CMS, enhancing functionality and ease of use. A filtered resource library was introduced for Morningside’s “Teachable Moments” lessons, making them more readily accessible.
Through an improved sitewide taxonomy and search, Morningside could accomplish something they couldn’t through Drupal 7 CMS – contextual access to articles and lessons that accompanied lesson plans and related content.
Additionally, we styled the Donate page to match the fresh new website. We created an email template design to emphasize the brand and improve communication with the audience using Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (formerly Pardot).
The Drupal 8 CMS provided Morningside with additional functionality and ease of use, streamlining content management for their staff.
The improved taxonomy and search enabled a filtered resource library for “Teachable Moments” lessons, making them accessible and related to relevant content.
