Modernizing Oregon Metro's Digital Landscape: A Drupal Journey of Integration, Inclusivity, & Impact

Modernizing Oregon Metro's Digital Landscape: A Drupal Journey of Integration, Inclusivity, & Impact

blgraves, Ben Crawford, kmonahan, gbeezus, John Johnson

Join Forum One and Oregon Metro as we unveil the Drupal-driven transformation of Oregon Metro's digital presence. Since 2019, our collaborative efforts have laid the groundwork for transitioning from five standalone Drupal 7 websites to a centralized, maintainable ecosystem of Drupal websites, optimizing for upgradability and shared dependencies. This journey includes the integration of key venues, such as the Oregon Zoo and the Oregon Convention Center, into a unified platform, driven by teamwork and commitment to accessibility and inclusion.

As technical advisors, we've defined the platform concept, emphasized multilingual features, and upheld accessibility standards. Our approach leverages data analysis, audience insights, and strategic planning to create a more inclusive digital experience. A highlight is the recent redesign of the Oregon Zoo's website, prioritizing accessibility, multilingual capabilities, and a mobile-first approach, offering seamless user experiences with ticketing and donation system integrations.

Join us for a session showcasing Drupal's role in driving long-term digital modernization and multi-site integration. Discover the strategies, insights, and achievements behind Oregon Metro's journey toward a more inclusive and engaging digital experience for a diverse audience.
