Government and public sector Government Legal

Legal Aid WA

2018
State government enterprise CMS for a public legal library. Supported since 2017.

The Challenge

Legal Aid WA engaged Itomic to redevelop their website. They had a library of legal information to present to the public that required a complete rethink of how to architect the content. They needed an enterprise content management system (ECMS) that could accommodate this content while supporting complex permissions and rich media.

The Approach

The project required a collaborative effort of research & discovery which included a full internal content audit. The deliverables were broken down into phases and the releases were staggered to match. Drupal was chosen as the preferred platform based on its scalability, adaptability & accessibility.

The Result

Originally built in Drupal 8 and since upgraded to Drupal 10, the site handles Legal Aid's large volume of content while offering all of the necessary finer controls of an ECMS such as user permission matrix, approval work flow, high performance search, and admin-friendly menu and sitemap management. Alongside the main Drupal website, we also built Blurred Borders, a separate standalone web application for Legal Aid WA developed in Laravel.
