We rebuilt Santander Uruguay’s public site to be faster, clearer, and easier to operate. In ~8 months we migrated from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10, redesigned the information architecture, added governance (roles/workflows), and optimized Core Web Vitals. Outcomes: page load 7s → 2.5s, PageSpeed 95 (desktop) / 90 (mobile), accessibility 60 → 95, and top speed among private banks. Marketing teams now launch updates in minutes, with new-account conversions doubled and a surge in product leads—all on a secure, scalable platform.
OVERVIEW The American Council on Education (ACE) leads advocacy efforts that shape public policy, helping colleges and universities. ACE’s peer-to-peer online learning platform, Engage, was developed to improve equity, expand access to colleges and universities, and diversify the higher education leadership pipeline. ACE needed to add new functionalities and tools to improve community interactions within the platform, which was a feature that their current technology did not support. CHALLENGE The project was a high priority for ACE, and they requested a short window. We had less than three months to complete the work—but that wasn’t the only complication. Perhaps the biggest challenge was in the implementation itself. As the foundational LMS platform would not change, the new tools needed to integrate into Engage and behave like they were part of the core system. SOLUTION We created microsites in Drupal Opigno and Drupal Open Social and then embedded them into Engage. This approach enabled us to design a seamless UX that did not force the site user to gain the new interactive functions or make it look or feel like they were leaving the site. We accomplished it using the “Learning Tools Interoperability” specification, which allowed us to embed Drupal web applications within the interface and sync accounts and user credentials, among other things. Features included (WCAG) 2 Level AA Conformance, SCORM compliance, and integration with H5P, which allowed ACE to create interactive videos, presentations, and quizzes, plus fully interactive timelines, and more. SUCCESS The implemented solution enabled ACE to realize substantial improvement in the flexibility of their Engage platform. The new functionality provided them with a tool that markedly improved its community’s communication, interaction, engagement, and collaboration. We finished the project and launched well within the expected three-month timeframe, enabling the Engage community to truly engage.
OVERVIEW Like organizations in the private sector, governments thrive when communication is made easy. However, the opposite situation exists. Departments operate in isolation, getting things done without significant input from other agencies, even those with complementary functions. The Presidency of the Republic had patchy intranet coverage and was interested in rectifying the situation. CHALLENGE Presidency operates under a complex hierarchy that includes executing and dependent units. There is quite a bit of interdependence between all the players involved, and critical information commonly needs to be passed up and down the chain of command. They needed a single, unified intranet that allowed the entire Presidency to communicate directly. However, each unit had to communicate internally, so they wanted separate intranets. SOLUTION The first thing we did was formulate a plan for unifying nearly 20 separate intranets into one still with a degree of autonomy. We designed a multi-domain architecture with WordPress, which allowed the same intranet to be accessed through different URLs. For example, AGESIC would access the intranet through the URL: agesic.intranetpresidencia.gub.uy Each unit was assigned a URL in the same manner. Only the subdomain (the bold section) differed with each. It allowed us to identify which unit was requesting access. Then we engineered a system that permitted both global and unit-specific content to be displayed separately within the same framework. SUCCESS Communication blossomed across the entire Presidency and within individual units. Departments that had never had intranet access were blown away by how easy it was to keep tabs on essential matters. The President and his staff finally had single channel access to every unit within the Presidency. The Presidency was grateful to finally have a fully-interconnected intranet system designed to their precise specifications and impressed with the work that went into its creation.
OVERVIEW When Sugey One needed help with Drupal implementation for a website they were developing for a government agency, they came to us. The project required rigorous planning and design and a DevOps background to aid in getting the completed build up and running in production. We rolled up our sleeves and jumped into the fray. CHALLENGE The most problematic issues were surrounding the providers’ account creation and management. They tried multiple implementations before our involvement, but all were missing the mark for one reason or another. Compounding difficulties were seemingly insoluble challenges affecting the execution of the users’ permission. Once fully functional, the site required four different types of users, each with a specific set of permissions. SOLUTION First, we developed a new methodology for managing provider accounts, which avoided previous pitfalls and significantly reduced operational overhead. We created a custom framework for dealing with the complexities of the sites’ user permissions, cross-referencing user categories with site functions and access levels. This meticulous process resulted in a roadmap that Sugey One and we could follow as we built out the code and overarching design. Simultaneously we were scrupulously implementing a DevOps solution that worked for our client and theirs. We also applied the same approaches to our work, ensuring a consistent, efficient, error-free production system. SUCCESS Even before site completion, our work was already paying dividends. New providers flocked to the site, setting up accounts in record numbers. Previous difficulties had undermined their faith in the project, but once they saw people getting involved, they grew in confidence. We solved the user permissions issue as well. As a result, countless people will get the help they require from the professionals best suited to their needs.
OVERVIEW Creative agencies are full of great ideas but don't necessarily have the staff to realize them. They'll often contract out the creation of final deliverables to production companies, print firms, and web design companies. Cake is a graphic, digital, experience, and creative design company in Tempe, AZ. Not only do they conceptualize creative campaigns, but they do most of the design and execution as well. But there's one skill set they haven't invested in internally — web development. CHALLENGE Cake was already busy handling the creative side of the business. They didn't have time to micromanage their vendors. Previous attempts at hiring outside help ended in poor service, incomplete deliverables, and substandard work. The ideal partner would have the talent and the infrastructure to manage complex web projects, allowing Cake to pass implementation duties with full knowledge that work would be well done. As luck would have it, they were developing a high-traffic website for a company dedicated to automated testing tools development and commercialization. SOLUTION We quickly got up to speed on the technical implementation of their design. As we worked through the project, it became clear that we would need to re-engineer the system architecture elements. To streamline development efforts, we introduced Cake to the continuous integration concept. Under this model, developers merged branching code changes into a shared repository several times daily. SUCCESS Results: Cake's client was delighted with the project results, and Cake was thrilled by our collaboration. They saw the value of continuous integration and moved to standardize the methodology for all future projects. Our partnership, now three years old, has allowed Cake to pursue more extensive and complex web development projects. Their client base has expanded, boosting their earnings and reputation.
