Enterprise Content Management Systems (CMS)

Secure, modern portal deployment using Drupal and WordPress migrations optimized for public sector administrative workflows.

Legacy content portals slow public agencies down: brittle themes, undocumented plugins, and CMS versions years behind on security patches. We migrate and rebuild on Drupal and WordPress with a public sector lens: structured content types for records and forms, role-based publishing workflows for multiple departments, and a hosting/patch cadence built for long-term maintainability rather than a one-time launch.

What this covers

Full CMS migrations (Drupal-to-Drupal, WordPress-to-WordPress, or cross-platform), custom content types for permits, notices, and public records, accessible theme development, and editorial training so your staff can run the site day to day.

Built for the editors who use it after launch

A portal is only maintainable if the people publishing to it can do their work without opening a support ticket. We model content around the things your departments actually publish (notices, meeting minutes, permits, forms) and give each team its own editorial scope and approval path. Fields are labeled in your language rather than the CMS vendor's, so a new communications hire can find their way around on their first afternoon.

Migration without a dark period

Nothing goes dark while we work. The existing portal stays live until the replacement has been verified end to end, every legacy URL is audited and mapped to a redirect so indexed pages and search rankings carry over, and records retention rules are confirmed before a single row of content moves. After cutover the platform stays on a defined patch cadence for core, themes, and plugins, so the site does not quietly drift back into the legacy risk it just came out of.

Structured content types for public records and forms

Purpose-built content models for permits, notices, meeting minutes, and public records instead of generic blog-style pages, so the data stays queryable and exportable.

Role-based editorial workflows

Department-level publishing permissions and approval steps that match how public sector communications teams actually review and release content.

Migration without content loss or downtime

A staged migration process, with a full content and URL audit, that keeps the existing site live until the new one is verified end to end.

A patch cadence that survives the handover

Core, theme, and plugin updates on a defined schedule, with documentation your IT team can follow, so the portal does not slide back into an unsupported version a year after launch.

Drupal & WordPress Migrations

Version upgrades and cross-platform migrations that preserve URLs, SEO equity, and historical records.

Role-Based Editorial Access

Department-scoped permissions so multiple teams can publish independently without stepping on each other.

Patch & Security Cadence

A defined update schedule for core, themes, and plugins so the portal doesn't drift back into legacy risk.

Structured Records & Forms

Content types built for permits, notices, and public records so information stays organized and exportable.

Accessible Theme Development

Themes built to WCAG standards from the first template, not retrofitted after launch.

Managed Hosting Handoff

A hosting and backup setup your IT team can maintain, with documentation instead of tribal knowledge.

We plan every CMS migration around the constraints public sector teams actually operate under: records retention, role-based editorial access, and uptime during public-facing events. The result is a portal your staff can maintain without a developer on standby.

Enterprise Content Management Systems FAQs

Yes. We audit every existing URL before migration and map 301 redirects for the new structure, so indexed pages and search rankings carry over.

Yes, this is a core part of the work: department-scoped editorial roles and approval workflows are built into every CMS project we deliver.

Records retention rules are mapped before migration begins, and we validate that every retained record migrates with its metadata and history intact.

No. We build structured content types and an editorial workflow specifically so routine updates, new notices, and form changes can be handled by your own staff.

Themes are built to WCAG 2.1 AA from the initial template, not audited after the fact, and we test with keyboard navigation and screen readers before launch.

It depends on how structured your content is and who maintains the site. Drupal tends to fit agencies with complex record types, multi-department governance, and strict workflow requirements; WordPress fits communications-led sites that need to publish quickly with a smaller editorial team. We make the recommendation after seeing your content and your team, not before.

A migration does not require a redesign. We can rebuild the current design as an accessible, maintainable theme on the new platform, or treat the migration as the moment to refresh it. Keeping the look familiar is often the safer choice when the public already knows how to use the site.
