Case Study: American Medical Association achieves a unified, governed Drupal 11 platform with Axelerant

American Medical Association unifies 10+ sites and boosts Lighthouse scores to 98–100 with Axelerant

The American Medical Association (AMA) faced challenges with a fragmented web ecosystem of over ten WordPress and Drupal sites, which led to operational fragility, security risks, and inconsistent user experiences. To support its public health campaigns, the AMA partnered with Axelerant to consolidate these properties into a single, secure, and maintainable platform.

Axelerant migrated all content into a unified Drupal 11 platform hosted on Acquia Cloud. The solution included a deterministic migration, an accessibility-first redesign, and the creation of a shared component library for editors. As a result, Axelerant helped the AMA dramatically improve performance, with Lighthouse scores jumping to 98-100 for desktop and 95-100 for accessibility. Editorial efficiency increased through reusable components, and the consolidated platform significantly reduced the total cost of ownership and long-term maintenance burden.
