Cinder Systems is an Ottawa-based Drupal consultancy specializing in Drupal WxT (Government of Canada distribution), Azure cloud deployments, and high-scale migrations. We architect, build, and support bilingual, accessible, and secure Drupal platforms for public-sector teams across Canada. Our founder is a long-time Drupal WxT maintainer with a track record of delivering upgrades, WCAG fixes, and critical bug patches back to the community.

What we do

  • Drupal 10/11 + WxT solution architecture, development, and theming
  • Complex migrations (D7 → D10/11, legacy CMS → Drupal) and content harvesting
  • DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, Docker containers, and cloud (Azure App Service, ACR, Terraform)
  • Accessibility reviews and WCAG 2.1 AA remediation for public-sector sites
  • Search and findability: faceted search, Solr integrations, and IA improvements
  • AI research and development

Drupal contributions

We’re passionate about open-source, especially Drupal, because it fuels innovation, collaboration, and creativity. Our team contributes upstream bug fixes, WCAG accessibility improvements, and maintains contributed modules. We also actively maintain the Drupal WxT distribution, including spearheading Drupal core upgrades within the distro, sharing documentation and tests, mentoring others, and strengthening the ecosystem while staying at the forefront of best practices.
