EGM World approached Arandil Studios last year for a new website. They required a new site design and a new CMS - the previous one was hacked and they wanted something good looking, more stable and secure.
Challange
Having activities in multiple countries and doing a lot of work in US, EGM World had a lot of information to put on their website - however, they wanted a site that was easy to navigate yet, to be able to hold all that information as well. One other issue was the integration with their payment processor - for various reasons they wanted to keep the donation process outside their website.
Solution
The Drupal CMS fit like a glove for EGM Website. The proposed solution was based on multiple core technologies in Drupal - multiple categories, custom content types to easily manage the content, powerful search features and also subtle interactive elements that highlight featured content from around the website.
For the external donation page we have created a custom design that was applied to it to streamline the user experience. We have focused our attention on the internal donation page as well - there were various proposals and sketches before actually implementing it. We have advised EGM in keeping the donation page simple and to the point - an advice that was followed with great results.
Behind the scenes, we have optimized the CMS for search engines and short loading times. Besides the optimization settings in the CMS, we have tweaked the Virtual Machine for Drupal to make sure their website is running fast and without glitches.
Outcome
In just over two months, the new EGM World website stands out as content rich, yet simple to navigate website with focus on important areas on the site. The content is fully managed by EGM World staff and the many automation features configured for them ensures that the editors can focus on actually editing the content and not worrying about the technical aspects of running a large CMS.
