Client’s Challenge:
When Talamas approached us, they were operating on an outdated Drupal 7 website with minimal design flexibility and aging infrastructure:

- The single inquiry process created management challenges and user confusion
- Lack of responsiveness and dated UX contributed to higher bounce rates and suboptimal conversions
- The client needed to maintain content separation while achieving a modern, intuitive, and scalable website
- Ongoing business risks were growing due to end-of-life Drupal 7 modules and lack of core updates
The Solution We Implemented:
Our Drupal experts delivered a complete Drupal 10 migration, and redesign, creating a modern website architecture built to scale and perform:
Technology Stack:
- CMS: Drupal 10.3.2
