Project Description
Satellite Markets Research engaged iBuild.PH Web Solutions and Services to modernize its legacy Drupal website through a complete platform upgrade, website redesign implementation, infrastructure migration, advertising system modernization, and technical SEO optimization.
The objective was to upgrade the website from Drupal 7 to the latest supported Drupal version while preserving all website content, media assets, advertising functionality, and search engine visibility. The project also aimed to improve website performance, security, maintainability, and the overall user experience.
The migration was completed successfully with zero data loss, providing the client with a secure, scalable, and future-ready Drupal platform.
The challenge
Drupal 7 had reached its end of life, creating increasing security and maintenance concerns. The website contained years of valuable research content that needed to be preserved while modernizing both the platform and supporting infrastructure.
The project presented several technical challenges, including:
- Upgrading from Drupal 7 to the latest Drupal version
- Migrating thousands of pages, articles, media assets, taxonomy, and structured content without data loss
- Implementing the client's updated website design
- Preserving existing website functionality
- Migrating and improving the advertising management system for sponsored banner advertisements
- Completing a server and hosting migration with minimal downtime
- Maintaining search engine visibility throughout the migration
- Improving website performance, security, and long-term maintainability
Our solution
Rather than treating the project as a software upgrade, iBuild.PH delivered a complete website modernization strategy in close coordination with the client.
Our team carefully planned and executed every stage of the migration, including content migration, website redevelopment, server migration, technical SEO, performance optimization, and advertising platform improvements. Extensive testing and validation were performed throughout the project to ensure data integrity, functional stability, and a smooth deployment.
