Go Overseas provides a service to connect people with meaningful travel programs, such as volunteer, study, or teaching engagements in countries around the world. Go Overseas worked with Hook 42 for consulting and development for their Drupal 6 to Drupal 8 migration project. We also ran SEO health checks and continued, beyond the original engagement, to work with Go Overseas on performance monitoring and ongoing improvements to their site and its architecture.

Summary of Work
We audited their complex Drupal 6 site and estimated the effort to migrate it to Drupal 8. Under a very tight deadline, we provided Drupal 8 architectural guidance, migration code implementation, and both backend and frontend development. We also ran SEO health checks, executed the Drupal 6 to Drupal 8 migration scripts, and provided launch support during the site cutover.
We continue to work with Go Overseas on Drupal 8 architecture and development projects such as advanced landing page creation, file structure improvements, and performance monitoring and enhancements.
