Challenge

Connell Guides creates accessible guide books that help students of different ages better understand great novels, poems and plays on the main English syllabuses better. The CG (Connell Guides) subscription service provides access to e-book guides, literary briefings and videos of text discussions, produced by CG itself.

Solution

Within a short period of time we carried out a successful refactoring that allowed CG to develop their business, attract twice more users than before and optimize their metrics (for example, page load decreased from about 10 seconds to 1-2). To complete it, we implemented a number of changes: – Migrated the website to a new domain – Configured Google Analytics – Updated Drupal core and modules – Configured roles and permissions for the subscription service – Updated website’s design – We used the following technologies to bring the changes: Drupal 7, HTML, Javascript, CSS, Git and AWS.

Results

We were able to implement all these changes within a smaller budget and still improve the website's overall quality in a major way. All these changes helped the business to achieve its goals and continue to deliver their great products to students.
