The Mighty Guild - Corporate Website

Challenge

Provide a basic corporate website with responsive (mobile first) interface providing landing pages and data driven team and services sections.

Solution

Drupal 8 was selected for rapid prototyping and modeling features. An existing responsive framework was provided that made mobile first theme creation more efficient.

Results

We build the base site in three days and refined over the following week. This was a great opportunity to get some time working on the Drupal 8 platform. Subsequent days were spent extending the base install with contrib and custom modules and sub-themes.

Robert’s Thoughts

While the most recent release of the Drupal 8 platform was greatly improved over the official first release. I still feel that Drupal 8 is very rough around the edges and the contrib ecosystem is lagging behind the core development. Still, I plan to keep up to date on the current trends on the most recent version and hope that it will become as flexible and utilitarian as Drupal 7.
