Case Study: Mindgrub achieves streamlined development and offloaded infrastructure management with Pantheon

Why the Agency Chose a Single Website Platform

Mindgrub is a Baltimore-based design and development agency (founded 2002) that builds Drupal and WordPress sites and apps. Their 12-person web team spent excessive time on infrastructure—using managed hosting with Jenkins and Ansible—pulling engineers away from billable work and creating inconsistency across projects.

Mindgrub standardized on Pantheon after participating in Pantheon’s Fast Track program, migrating multiple sites and adopting Pantheon’s Git-based dev/test/live workflow. The switch dramatically sped project setup and migrations (most moved in 15–20 minutes versus hours), offloaded server management, automated backups and security, simplified onboarding, and let the team focus on higher-value client work while launching all new sites on a single platform.
