In December 2019 we worked with the Orange County division of the World Affairs Councils of America to bring their website up to today's standards. Rather than patching up an old WordPress site we started fresh with WordPress 5 on Pantheon.io and migrated their old events to the new framework.
We are also helping them with their events management and promotion, Marketing Automation, recurring memberships and donations, and Twitter ads.
Pernod Ricard (the owner of Absolut, Jameson, Malibu, Martell, etc) came to us in May 2013(!) with an idea to turn their database of cocktail recipes into a quickly-searchable app to be used by their 18,900 employees. The idea was put on hold for a few years but for 2019 we decided it was go-time to build this native iOS app.
They posed these challenges to the Div team:
Pernod then used the Apple Developer Enterprise Program to distributed the proprietary in-house iOS app to their employees.
The Div team designed and built Corrona's website 4 years ago and it was time for a refresh. We teamed up with the fantastic Boston-based design agency, Digital Impulse and took on the development side of things. The result was a brilliant new website with a clear message reflecting the enormous growth in Corrona's business over the past 4 years.
We took a components-based approach in building out the 25 main landing pages leveraging the Drupal Paragraphs module. 24 components, each with variations, all simple, sensible, selectable via the UI took care of the task with flying colors.
About Corrona: Corrona works with all major pharmaceutical companies including Pfizer, Celgene, and Bristol-Myers Squibb, providing real-world data-driven insights regarding their drugs and the therapeutic landscape.

We migrated Medidata's Partner Portal from the proprietary Jive Software to the Open Source WordPress CMS, creating a password-protected members-only communication and collaboration tool. Because their corporate WordPress website had a similar design and some shared content we were able to leverage work done on the corporate website (saving time and money) and create a connection between the two systems.
Sometimes Drupal is overkill for a fairly simple website. In this case, the Division of Brain Stimulation & Therapeutic Modulation at Columbia University Medical center had a need for a website where they could keep their schedule, staff, and educational materials updated easily, in a mobile-first framework. WordPress is the perfect solution for the job.
We paired our WordPress Development Lead with our Frontend Development Lead (each with a decade of experience) to execute on an important redesign and redevelopment project for NYC-based Medidata Solutions, a $5.8 billion technology company with 2,000 employees that develops and markets software as a service (SaaS) solutions for clinical trials.

The Div team partnered with the incredible team at Blue Fountain Media (Pactera) to build a new Drupal 8 website for Workfront (formerly AtTask). We migrated thousands of pieces of content from their previous stack – a combination of Uberflip (a proprietary CMS) and WordPress – using Drupal 8 Feeds, Migrate API, and Python. Content needed to be imported in a way that would fit into the Drupal architecture, a challenging project in a tight timeline, and the Div team got it done.
A client had a need to scrape thousands of flat HTML files and PDFs, and get them into a CMS. We used NodeJS to scrape the.. Enough talk, show me the code!
The websites for New York State Courts have historically been flat HTML files. Our job was to migrate these files to the WordPress CMS, retaining relationships between content, links, images, files, and publications, and create an easy-to-navigate, mobile-friendly website. We used NodeJS to scrape the HTML files and to clean up the HTML data for the migration.
A performance audit of Bowler Wine's website showed "enormous network payloads". The Div team was brought on board to do an overhaul of the codebase and site-build to improve performance, accessibility (ADA compliance), and SEO best practices for their website. We also did a redesign + redevelopment of the frontend. The site has about 8,000 pieces of content, mostly well-structured in the database, but not optimized on the frontend. We migrated the website to Pantheon, removed 70 modules from the codebase, implemented sensible image presets, caching, and used Apache Solr Search to build an easily searchable display of Bowler's extensive portfolio of wines and spirits.
We are working with a large client, migrating them from their current content marketing software to Drupal 8. To complete the migration we are using a combination of Drupal 8 Feeds, Migrate API, and Python to alter the content, retain images from many sources, and import the content into a D8 website that we are building using a components-based approach (using Drupal Paragraphs and Entity Construction Kit). We also need to take into account SEO, metadata, URL redirects.
We are also doing some Python scraping with Beautiful Soup, a Python library for pulling data out of HTML and XML files, and Scrapy, a web crawling framework, written in Python, for web scraping and to extract data using APIs.

Building and maintaining 5 websites for 5 brands can be an expensive undertaking. We came up with an innovative, budget-conscious way to build out 5 websites, all with similar functionality, for 5 brands using the Drupal Domain module, Pantheon, a single codebase AND database. The result is a single CMS that allows content editors to log in to 1 system, add or edit content, and publish to any or all 5 domains.
