ECSA is an international science research community that needed a new website design with responsive features.
The site features both public facing content and restricted content available only to paid-up members. Membership management is included in the site, together with e-commerce facility to allow members to pay their annual subs and for new members to register with minimal intervention from an administrator.
Drupal 7 was originally used for the site for its rich content management, automated rules and secure handling of payment and member data.
The development project involved migration of content and membership from a legacy system and handling the new website launch with minimal impact on users and no loss of links from search engine indexes.
The website was upgraded from Drupal 7 to Backdrop CMS and re-launched with new layout and features in May 2024.
