The problem

The old site created friction in the two places that matter.

For visitors

  • Navigation was confusing. Key pages were hard to find.
  • The experience looked dated, which lowered engagement.

For the team

  • Publishing was slow across stakeholders.
  • Page speed issues held back SEO.

Goal

  1. Make services, projects, and careers easy to find.
  2. Make publishing fast enough to keep the site current.
  3. Improve accessibility and performance so the site loads fast and ranks better.

What we built

  1. Navigation that matches how people browse: We simplified the user flow so visitors can quickly reach Services, Portfolio, Careers, and contact paths. 
  2. A component system that stays consistent: We built an atomic design system so components are reusable and centrally maintained. 
  3. Design to development handoff that does not break: Design components were converted into a Storybook library, with tight review loops between design and development. 
  4. SEO fundamentals done properly: We implemented schema-rich metadata, alt text, and performance-focused page builds to support discoverability. 
  5. Editorial workflows built for real teams: We delivered scheduling and permission controls, reducing publishing paths and speeding up updates.

Why Drupal was chosen

Vardot built the site on Drupal 11 because the site needed structured content, role-based permissions, and workflows that scale as teams and services grow. It supports scheduling and a flexible content model that can expand without redesigning every page.
