The HR Association’s website, built on Drupal 7, was a critical hub for member resources, events, and industry news. However:

  • Costly Complexity: Drupal’s steep learning curve forced the marketing team to rely on IT for even minor content updates, delaying campaigns.
  • End-of-Life Crisis: Drupal 7’s impending phase-out meant expensive upgrades
  • Poor Member Experience:
  • Clunky member directory and event calendar.
  • Blog/event updates took considerable due to formatting issues.
  • Mobile-unfriendly design hurt engagement.
