Case Study: National Trust improves accessibility and cuts its carbon footprint with Valtech

National Trust cuts database storage emissions by 70% with Valtech

Valtech assisted the National Trust with a major website relaunch to modernize its digital presence. The UK heritage charity faced challenges with an outdated, difficult-to-use CMS that was nearing end-of-life, a very large site with over 24,000 pages impacting user experience and carbon emissions, and insufficient accessibility compliance.

Valtech migrated the site to the Bloomreach CMS and executed a comprehensive restructuring. The solution dramatically reduced the site to 6,000 pages, implemented sustainable file practices, and rigorously tested for accessibility. The results included a 70% reduction in database storage emissions, zero critical accessibility issues, improved editor efficiency, and 100% uptime since launch.
