War Memorials Register

About War Memorials Register

War Memorial Register is a website dedicated to preserving the memory of war memorials in New South Wales, Australia. On this site, you can access a large database containing records of various conflicts involving Australia, coming from the First World War (1914 - 1918), Second World War(1939 - 1945), Korean War (1950 - 1953), and any other conflicts. These records can take the form of boards, plaques, statues, obelisks, and other commemorative structures. The special thing about the war memorial register is, it invites you to register any information related to the conservation of war memorials. This feature not only serves as a vital connection point between The War Memorials, Veterans, and People but to foster the ongoing remembrance of New South Wales military history.

Overview

Kororo initiates the project knowing that War Memorial Register website runs well and intuitively, but on the other side its quality and sustainability have to be kept well. For that reason, regular maintenance and system upgrades are necessary to be carried out. One essential maintenance task is to upgrade the website CMS from Drupal 7 to the latest and most robust version, Drupal 9.

As the saying goes, “Providing the best user experience means keeping your content management system up to date.” Drupal 9, being the newest and most powerful version available at the time, will significantly improve the user experience functionally and on the performance side.

As an experienced digital company in Drupal migration, Kororo played a vital role in this maintenance. We start with understanding the significance of the War Memorial Register website for veterans and researchers, we then approach the project with a strong commitment to preserving its existing quality.

After grasping the project's requirements, here's several key steps we do to migrate Drupal 7 to Drupal 9. First is planning and setting a timeline. Then we do research for compatible modules and key components for the migration, this research is needed to match War Memorial website conditions and requirements. After that we prepare the migration files, create a dedicated Drupal 9 environment for executing the migration, executing the migration, and finally we do comprehensive testing.

In every step we work, we make sure every function works well, and every pixel of the website appearance looks good with no flaws.
