Intro

Higher-ed Drupal is a specific discipline. Federated IA, editors across dozens of departments, WCAG as a legal requirement, and integrations with the SIS, CRM, and SSO that keep the university running. We do this shape of work every week — and we're a Drupal Certified Partner, not a generalist agency dabbling.
THE HIGHER-ED PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

Whatactuallykeepsyour team up at night.

These are the recurring problems we're brought in to fix on college and university Drupal projects.

Multisite sprawl

Twenty-three department sites on four CMSes, three brand systems, and one editor who knows how any of it works. We consolidate onto a single, governed Drupal multisite so schools and centers ship without breaking the brand.

Legacy CMS you can't hire for

OU Campus, Cascade, Sitecore, or Drupal 7 sitting on unsupported PHP. We replatform to Drupal 10 or 11 with full content parity, SEO-safe redirects, and editor training your team can actually use.

Accessibility as a legal risk

OCR complaints, DOJ Title II updates, and lawsuits are real. We ship WCAG 2.1 AA conformance with a VPAT, automated axe checks in CI, and manual assistive-tech testing on every launch.

Department site consistency

A design system, page component library, and governance model so the biology department and the law school look like the same university without a central team having to approve every page.

OUR APPROACH

Acalm,six-stepengagement.

Predictable enough for campus governance, flexible enough to do good work.

01

Audit

Content inventory, accessibility baseline, and infrastructure review across every site in scope.

02

Model

Federated IA, content model, and a governance model your campus can actually staff after go-live.

03

Design

Brand-true design system with accessible, reusable components for every audience and department.

04

Build

Drupal 10 or 11 engineering with automated a11y CI, JSON:API where decoupled makes sense, and clean editorial UX.

05

Migrate

Content, taxonomies, files, and users moved with URL parity. Redirect maps and search-index rebuilds included.

06

Support

Care-plan retainer for security patches, module updates, and admissions-cycle feature work.

PROOF POINTS

Trusted by colleges, certified by the community.
