Drupal to WordPress Migration & Mobile-Friendly Redesign

Project Summary

As eCommerce SEO experts, we successfully transformed CHWCentral’s Drupal website into a user-friendly WordPress platform with a robust and searchable Resources database. Let’s delve into the details:

Seamless Migration and Enhanced UX

We expertly migrated thousands of users and transferred content, including the conversion of forum posts to blog posts. The result was a seamless transition to WordPress while preserving features and structure. Our mobile-friendly design optimized the user experience.

Configuring WordPress and Essential Plugins

A new WordPress installation was meticulously set up, configured, and tailored to meet CHWCentral’s requirements. Essential plugins and modules were integrated to ensure optimal functionality.

Carefully Coded Content Types

We coded content types mirroring the Drupal structure for smooth content transfer. The content import and redirects were meticulously executed, maintaining SEO integrity throughout the migration.

Empowering User Accounts

User accounts were seamlessly migrated from Drupal to WordPress, with preserved roles and permissions for uninterrupted access.

Implementing Captivating Features

Our team added captivating features like a homepage slideshow, an informative “What’s New” page, and engaging “Conversations” blog and “Member Exchange” forum.

Enhanced Usability with Search Functionality

Efficient content discovery was achieved through an implemented search function. Additionally, a “Links” page for external resources was created.

Custom Resources Database

We built a dedicated “Resources” view with customized Toolset views & filters. Resources were classified as a custom post type with downloads restricted to logged-in users. Extensive categories and conditional display aided filtering, particularly by geographic regions.

Responsive Mobile-Friendly Design

Our responsive WordPress theme built on the Genesis framework ensured a seamless experience across all devices, elevating the overall user experience.

By collaborating with us, CHWCentral now boasts a user-friendly WordPress platform with an enhanced Resources database, ensuring a seamless and engaging experience for its users.
