Case Study: Soldiers From the Sky creates a lasting digital memorial with Big Blue Door

Soldiers From the Sky launches a WCAG 2.2 AA Drupal 10 memorial site with Big Blue Door

The customer, Soldiers From the Sky, partnered with South Kesteven District Council on a project to create a lasting digital memorial for Allied Airborne Forces. Their challenge was to develop a modern, accessible, and respectful website that could educate a wide audience on this significant historical subject. They enlisted vendor Big Blue Door for a complete solution encompassing brand development, design, and a technical build using Drupal.

Big Blue Door delivered a comprehensive solution, beginning with stakeholder workshops to create a new brand identity. They then designed and built a responsive, WCAG 2.2 AA compliant website on Drupal 10, hosted on AWS. The result is a robust platform for storytelling that serves as both an educational resource and a place of remembrance, launched in time for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Big Blue Door continues to provide ongoing hosting and support, ensuring the project's long-term sustainability and impact.
