The Challenge
The previous Counter Store Audit Center website was running on a Drupal 6 multi-site platform. The Drupal community dropped support for version 6 in February of 2016. This meant the end of new functionality and security updates putting their many data entry users in a vulnerable position.
The Solution
DesignHammer provided a successful migration of highly valuable content to a new Drupal 7 platform. And even though the visual design hadn't changed, the updated theme functionality provided a better mobile-friendly user experience. This is a huge improvement given that most of the data is entered in the field on handheld devices.
