About the project
Higher Performance Demands Better Tech
Outdated and deprecated features were replaced with new, innovative, and superior features of Drupal 8.
This migration guaranteed that all existing critical modules that were no longer supported would enjoy maintenance and continuous upgrades.
Radiant Vision Systems enlisted Vardot to enable them to scale and grow by upgrading their legacy website from Drupal 7 to 8 - eventually upgrading to Drupal 9 when the time is right.
Leveling Up on CMS Performance
Immersive engagement is the real standard when it comes to user experiences in the digital world. To achieve that objective, the client needed a better CMS.
A CMS that focuses on end-user experience AND enables future growth and scalability. Varbase CMS was an obvious choice as it met those strategic requirements:
- Multilingual (English and Chinese) UX
- Built-in SEO enhancements
- Flexible Page Layout Building
- Enterprise-grade Security
- Structured templates
Optimized User Journeys
The Radiant Vision Systems design was structured according to best practices and only required minimal effort from our end to optimize and improve where needed to ensure that user journeys were better defined and more convenient.
Our improvements to the UI/UX focused on a neater content structure, user behavior, and enhancing the website’s technical performance when it comes to Core Web Vitals.
Each user journey was crafted to become purposeful and focused on conversion. Each user journey was defined by relevant resources, products, or applications.
Stronger Performance
The new Drupal 8 website was moved to Pantheon from Rackspace for more reliable hosting capabilities. This meant:
- Easier administration
- Easier setup
- Easier user experience
- Superior support
The move was a strategic decision based on the nature of the client’s marketing objectives and activities - Platform.sh is a better fit for high-tech solutions providers that focus on B2B marketing communications.
Platform.sh makes it really easy to spin up, administer, update, and deploy changes to multiple Drupal websites.
Back to topCustom Integrations
Varbase provided Radiant Vision Systems with the capability to integrate with the tech they currently rely upon - namely, Marketo for automated email marketing and Cloudflare, for automated redirection based on geolocation.
This flexible capability to integrate those tools to the new CMS enabled their marketing team to activate enhanced lead generation and progressive tracking scripts.
Cloudflare reconfiguration enabled them to provide their Chinese target market with a faster page loading experience.
