Moving our company site from Drupal 7 to 8: Sharing our Experience

By Jorge Diaz
Dave Vasilevsky

In this presentation, Dave & I will describe the entire process of moving our legacy company website (Drupal 7, built in 2011) into a brand new Drupal 8 site created from scratch.

The presentation is conceived to be wide and descriptive enough to just "present" how our company setup every step and then delivered it on top of Drupal 8.

Key points we will talk about:

- Project Management: Conception & Phases
- Information Architecture.
- Migration process.
- Content Staging
- Site Building.
- Results.
