Create to Learn

This website is a companion website of Renee Hobbs’ book “Create to Learn: Introduction to Digital Literacy”. The website has two types of audience - students and teachers. It has study materials for students and teachers. It also showcases different student-created examples under different categories.

Project Overview

The website was built using WordPress several years ago with a simple design that has now become outdated and it was required to redesign and rebuild the website.
The website was not mobile friendly and it needed to be addressed.
The website was not offering a great User Experience and it needed to be improved.
The website also was very slow and the performance needed to be improved.

Our Approach

We migrated the data from WordPress to Drupal 9.
The website was redesigned from scratch. We built mockups in Adobe XD and converted them to HTML and the final approved designs were then built into a Drupal theme.
It was made sure that the design offers a great User Experience and at the same time is mobile-friendly.
The website was built using Drupal 9, the latest version of Drupal.
The performance of the website increased drastically with HTML, CSS, JS aggregation, and with aggressive caching mechanisms of Drupal 9.
The website was also simplified so that it is easy for users to find the information required quickly.
