North Studio developed a new website, including a custom Drupal theme development, for SeaFirst Insurance of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
SeaFirst came to North Studio for a Drupal 8 rebuild that would add increased functionality to their current site to connect, engage, and create relationships with their clients. It was important to have complex functionality while ensuring ease-of-use for site administrators.
Why Drupal was chosen:
Drupal is SeaFirst’s preferred CMS framework due to its SEO-optimization and intuitive mobile-first approach out of the box. Responsive functionality was a key component of this project as users of the new support portal would need to access it from anywhere on any device so Drupal 8’s improved offerings were most compatible with their goals.
Describe the project (goals, requirements and outcome):
SeaFirst wanted a site that would accommodate its expansive web offerings. An important goal was to have numerous webforms that allowed users to apply for jobs, pay invoices online, subscribe to the mailing list, and request quotes.
Other major challenges included:
· Finding a module that could create web forms in Drupal 8.
· Creating a Mega Menu.
· Replicating Newsletter page from current site.
· Getting used to a new theming system with Drupal 8.
Outcomes:
· Creating web forms to facilitate different needs.
· Leading the Drupal community on implementation of a functional and bug-free Mega Menu.
· Custom testimonials adjusted based on length.
· A custom flexible backend for site administrators.
