Case Study: Luton Borough Council accelerates digital transformation with Annertech and LocalGov Drupal

Luton Borough Council launches public beta in 11 weeks with Annertech

Luton Borough Council faced the challenge of maintaining an aging web infrastructure that struggled to meet modern user standards and align with central government patterns. To address this, they partnered with Annertech for a digital transformation project, choosing to migrate to the open-source LocalGov Drupal platform to eliminate licensing fees and better serve their residents.

Annertech implemented a solution that included a custom single-page migration tool to accelerate content transfer and a data-driven decision matrix to prioritize the project. The results were achieved with exceptional speed, launching a public beta in just 77 days and a full website 14 weeks later. The new site achieved a GTmetrix rating of A and a Lighthouse accessibility score of 97, providing a user-centred, high-performing, and financially efficient platform for Luton's residents.
