Drupal to Craft CMS Migration

    CXOTalk, a leading platform for business technology conversations, was running on an aging Drupal installation that had become increasingly difficult and expensive to maintain. The legacy system was limiting their ability to rapidly deploy new features and content types while technical debt was accumulating with every passing month.

    We executed a comprehensive migration to Craft CMS, a modern, flexible content management system that dramatically improved performance, reduced maintenance overhead by 80%, and gave their editorial team powerful tools to manage complex content workflows. The migration was completed with zero downtime and no loss of SEO rankings.
