Case Study: South Florida Water Management District achieves a modern, accessible Drupal 8 website with Promet Source

South Florida Water Management District boosts accessibility 40% with Promet Source

The South Florida Water Management District, a regional governmental agency, required a modern and accessible website to manage its vast water resources and information. Their previous site was difficult to update and did not meet accessibility standards. They partnered with Promet Source to migrate to Drupal 8, aiming to improve stability, usability for both administrators and the public, and achieve full Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 AA compliance.

Promet Source implemented a solution using Drupal 8 and Acquia Lightning, prioritizing standard modules over custom code for efficiency and maintainability. The new site provided intuitive content management tools, integrated Apache Solr for improved search, and delivered a 40% increase in usability for those using assistive technologies. The result for the South Florida Water Management District was a high-performing, compliant, and user-friendly platform that is significantly easier to maintain.
