Overview
When the Citizens' Housing and Planning Association came to us looking to implement a new look for their website, they knew that they had a dated site that could look better and work better. They knew they wanted better mobile support, better usability, and better visitor retention.
What they didn't realize at the time was that their site goals could be realized best with an upgrade to Drupal 8. Their site was an important resource for Massachusetts residents and businesses, but it had been built in a piecemeal fashion over the years. Data was not all linked, categorized, and displayed optimally.
The Challenge
We proposed upgrading from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 along with the visual update. All data would not just be moved from the Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 site, but would be cleaned up and better categorized in the process.

Testimonial
CHAPA has worked with Charles River Web to both maintain existing sites and to develop and design a new site. No matter the project, CRW is a pleasure to work with.
They take the time to explain our options and even teach us how to do do things ourselves when appropriate. Their quality of work is always exceptional, and the website they helped create has been very well received by both the users and by our partners. As a small nonprofit, we rely heavily on the expertise of our website consultants while needing to balance affordability.
The result is a new site that is not only a massive visual improvement, but also a massive improvement in structure and organization.
Content managers were newly empowered to create consistent content across the site. Visitors could search the site in new ways. Data from the old site was still there, without the need for reentering it all.
