Modernizing to Drupal: Lessons from Porting an Old Website

We would like to share our experience with migrating an over 20-year-old static HTML/Java site to #Drupal 8/9.

The goal of this presentation will be to help government agencies using non-CMS powered websites and why they should port to websites to Drupal given our own experience. Topics that will be covered are what it was like managing an over 20-year-old static website, giving content authoring power to the users, #508 compliance with a modern theme, what it was like working with a large number of internal/external stakeholders, integrations, migrations, web policy, challenges faced, using Google Analytics as a measure of success, and why Drupal was a perfect fit for our needs.
