World Vision, a global humanitarian organization operating in nearly 100 countries, is dedicated to improving the lives of children, families, and communities facing poverty and injustice. We collaborated with World Vision to enhance their digital presence, supporting their key initiatives in child sponsorship, emergency relief, health, education, and advocacy. The project focused on building a robust, user-friendly platform to effectively communicate their mission, streamline donations, and engage supporters worldwide. Our work helped World Vision strengthen its global impact by providing a scalable, responsive, and accessible digital experience.
- No Technical Documentation: Required manual analysis of the legacy Drupal 7 site to map structure, modules, and workflows.
- Shortcode Reliance: Heavy use of shortcodes, which Drupal 10 doesn't natively support.
- Module Incompatibility: Many older modules were outdated or unsupported in Drupal 10.
- SEO Preservation: Ensuring minimal changes to HTML output to retain search engine rankings.
- Tight Timeline: Project demanded fast delivery without compromising quality.
- Data Security & Integrity: Migrating unsanitized legacy data while maintaining security standards.
The team initiated the migration with a comprehensive audit of the Drupal 7 site. Manual mapping and workflow analysis compensated for the lack of documentation. Shortcodes were replaced with innovative, Drupal 10-compliant solutions to replicate original outputs.
Unsupported modules were either replaced with modern equivalents or rebuilt as custom modules. The migration was divided into structured phases: structure, content, and theme migration. Custom scripts ensured precise data mapping, and TPL files were converted into Twig templates to preserve the site’s original look and feel.
To protect SEO rankings, minimal changes were made to front-end markup. Security reviews were added to handle unsanitized data, and configuration management practices were used for reliable deployment.
The project was completed on schedule, delivering a secure, modern Drupal 10 site that preserved the original design, functionality, and SEO integrity. Users experienced no disruption, and World Vision now benefits from a scalable, responsive platform that strengthens its global digital engagement. The success reflects Power CMS Technology’s expertise in complex migrations, adaptability, and commitment to quality under pressure.
