Organizations Involved

In 2026, éditions Théâtrales and Insite partnered to migrate and redesign the éditions Théâtrales website to Drupal 11.
The aim of this redesign was to provide users with a mobile first and responsive website, to ease the deployment of future functionalities and to provide a better back-office experience for webmasters. 

About the project

Goals

  • Allow users to browse the catalog easily on desktop and on mobile devices
  • Migrate existing books and authors into the new website
  • Provide back-office tools that would empower webmasters in their daily work
  • Adopt a stable and up-to-date web platform
  • Make bug fixes and adding new features easier

Requirements

  • Implement feature parity with the previous website
  • Don’t lose the existing data structure from the previous catalog

Outcome

  • Improved user experience on mobile
  • More focused back-office experience
  • Continuous integration allows deployment of new features or bug fixes with minimal downtime

Why Drupal was chosen

éditions Théâtrales hosts a catalog of books and Drupal was particularly suited to manage content with a lot of structured fields.
 

Other advantages were:

  • A strong integration with the Solr search engine
  • The migrate API allowed importing the entire catalog from the previous website
  • Drupal template system allows styling pages built from complex entity relationships

Why these modules/theme/distribution were chosen

We used migrate and related contrib modules to import the entire catalog from the previous website.

Facets and related modules were used to build a powerful search engine allowing users to find the book they are looking for.

Paragraphs, Formdazzle and Extra Field are used to customize the display of the many fields on each book.
