Imperial War Museums, a client of ours, recently took the decision to upgrade its website from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8, and the results are impressive.

Key features of the website include single sign-on for social media and membership (Gigya), a mobile-first design, and implementation of the likes of RESTful, Advanced Page Expiration, and the AMP Theme to expose the site’s rich content over multiple channels (mobile apps and responsive web) in the fastest and most efficient way.

And with support for both new and traditional modes of content delivery, Drupal 8 was the ideal choice. The beauty of is that many of its star features take advantage of standard, out-of-the-box Drupal 8 modules such as Blocks & Views as well as harnessing the underlying power of the Symfony components now available in Drupal 8 as standard to open up new opportunities to integrate with external APIs.Īside from its rich feature set, Drupal 8’s ‘API first’ philosophy and support for third-party plug-ins was hugely attractive to Arsenal as it looks to integrate more third-party systems and develop application programming interfaces (APIs) to enhance the fan experience.Īs David Savage, Arsenal's core platform product manager, puts it, the club needed a CMS that would ‘in time, be delivering content to devices, platforms, and channels that don’t currently exist'.
