Case Study: California Energy Commission achieves a modern, accessible Drupal 9 website with SymSoft

California Energy Commission cuts time to publish by half with Symsoft

The California Energy Commission faced challenges with an outdated, non-responsive website originally designed in 1994. The site was difficult to navigate, organized around the agency's internal structure rather than user needs, and non-compliant with modern accessibility standards. They partnered with Symsoft to address these issues through a user experience, content design, and accessibility engineering initiative, culminating in a large-scale Drupal implementation.

Symsoft implemented a redesigned, Drupal 9-based website that featured a user-centric information architecture and a responsive, accessibility-compliant design system. This solution empowered the Commission's in-house team with improved content management capabilities, cutting their time to publish in half. The project resulted in an award-winning website that achieved maximized Google Lighthouse scores of 95, 100, 100, and 100 for performance, accessibility, best practices, and SEO.
