Chapter Three redesigned and rebuilt Ixia, a large business to business site, using Drupal 8.
Ixia, a big, public, market leader in network testing, needed a new website as they moved into the enterprise market. Their old site was large, slow, hard to get around, and difficult to administer. Chapter Three used Drupal 8 to do a completely new design and site build.
About the project
Chapter Three specializes in creating flexible, elegant page layout solutions. Ixia's site has a sophisticated design and doesn't require a designer for each page. We enhanced the admin experience with:
- Three unique styles for each slice of content
- Entity References throughout the site
- Help text with image dimensions on every image field
Chapter Three significantly reduced the size of the website and improved user experience by:
- Providing robust off-site documentation
- Streamlining content
- Making pages more readable
Why Drupal was chosen
Chapter Three chose Drupal 8 for its speed, administrative experience and architecture. Drupal 8 allowed us to build a fast website that allowed content administrators to use flexible layouts from reusable components.
