As one of the first 600 websites ever to grace the internet, the Exploratorium had 30 years of content to organize and archive. Over the years, innumerable content editors and developers had built their own sections of the site, finding ‘creative’ solutions to accomplish this — including Drupal 7, static websites, and even some lingering Flash! It was a true ‘Frankensite’, desperately crying out for an upgrade. Tune in and hear the process of creating a new Exploratorium site, whose sleek new design was just the beginning. It also delivers a streamlined content administration experience that's both organized and seamless for users, with fast performance and speed on both desktop and mobile.

The proliferation of digital content and the need for companies to compete online has led to some stunning predictions about the market for Web Content Management Systems (WebCMS).

Estimates vary, but the market for CMS was valued in 2018 at approximately USD 36 billion, and some industry watchers are expecting it to generate around USD 123.5 billion by 2026. That's an annual growth rate of nearly 17 percent!

Amid this stunning growth, what might be thought of as a conceptual subset of WebCMS emerged: WebOps, a set of practices that empower web teams to adopt agile practices, facilitate collaboration, and automate processes that improve productivity across traditionally siloed departments.

Everyone in Higher Ed is being challenged to do more with less, so before undertaking a costly site migration, consider the alternative--investing in a secure, more performant and highly-flexible, decoupled front-end experience.

Plus, you'll be able to focus on customer-facing experiences that can dramatically improve site outcomes.
