We audited their custom Angular / MySQL site implementation and estimated the effort to migrate it to Drupal 8. We provided a scalable content strategy, Drupal 8 architecture and implementation, custom feed creation, a progressively decoupled React / Drupal / Google Maps integration, and backend and frontend development.
