Drupal site assessments overview

Aim

A review of the current website to understand how it is performing against several metrics and the identification of areas where it can be improved, leading to an estimation of the scope of work which will be required.

Approach

Engage a solution architect from Morpht to assess the site and prepare a report detailing the current state of of the site and proposed actions to remediate and improve.

Outcome

A site assessment report which can provide the foundation for future works, including an approach to market to address those works.

Drupal site assessment

A site assessment will allow for the planning of future works. A site audit includes reviews on:

  • Accessibility
  • SEO
  • Design
  • Content model
  • Functionality
  • Roles
  • Content moderation
  • Migration

At the conclusion of the assessment a report will be prepared which:

  • Summarises the state and needs for high level stakeholders.
  • Details the state and future steps for the technically minded.

Frequently asked questions

A site assessment is a structured review of an existing site's technical health, accessibility, performance, security posture, content and IA quality, typically the right first step when a site "feels" like it's underperforming but the organisation isn't sure why, before committing budget to a redesign or migration based on guesswork.

A useful assessment is prioritised and actionable. Not just a long list of every possible issue, but a clear view of which problems are highest-impact/lowest-effort to fix, which require a bigger project (migration, IA redesign), and which are genuinely low priority, forming a starting point for strategy rather than an anxiety-inducing audit.

Yes. An honest assessment of current functionality, integration needs and technical debt is exactly the evidence base needed to make that platform decision well, rather than defaulting to "what we already have" or over-provisioning to PaaS when SaaS would genuinely suffice.
