With the launch of its new website, gettothebc.com, not just Butler County, OH’s donuts are looking good. The Butler County Visitors Bureau (BCVB) made the move from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8, while getting a whole new website look and feel. With an improved landing page for their famous Donut Trail, a new interactive and engaging home page design, and a simplified site architecture, web visitors can “get to the BC” with ease.
It was recently announced that Drupal 7 will no longer be supported as of November 2021 which sent up a big firestorm throughout the Drupal community. If your website is in Drupal 7, you may not be feeling concerned since 2021 sure feels far away, right? Well you might want to start making plans and getting the budget together to make a migration. There are a lot of websites that will need to be upgraded and if you get down to the wire, you could be competing for your developer’s time and attention to make this move.
We’ve seen it first-hand — marketing teams buried under cumbersome content management systems yet fearful of making the move to a content management system (CMS) that will better serve them. The concern of a lengthy time frame and intense level of effort to migrate to a more suitable platform can prevent teams from achieving their digital marketing goals. The thought of a long, drawn out replatforming can evoke sheer dread. But guess what...we are here to tell you that making a move from a closed source CMS like Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) can actually be completed efficiently, within a reasonable time frame and without a whole lot of pain.
At Inclind, we have chosen to use Pantheon to host our clients’ sites. It gives us an efficient way to update and maintain dozens of sites in one place, so we thought we’d share 3 of our favorite things about Pantheon:
It allows us to spin up multidev environments, giving us the ability to create a branch that is isolated from the main servers and letting us easily push changes from a dev site to a live site.
We’re excited about our latest launch! We built Bridgeland.com from the ground up into a responsive Drupal 7 website with a parallax home page, over 400 blog posts, 3rd party integration with their lead management system and a user-friendly content editor.
