Rising Bank CMS Migration
Migrating From Drupal to WordPress
Rising Bank brings exceptional banking experience and expertise to the online financial services space. Their mission centers on providing secure, reliable, and user-friendly banking solutions.
When Rising Bank approached us, they needed to transition their existing website from Drupal to WordPress without compromising their current design. As part of the project, we rebuilt their site using WordPress blocks, ensuring a clean, efficient structure, and seamlessly migrated all of their content. The result is a modern, easy-to-manage website that maintains Rising Bank’s visual identity while improving backend flexibility and performance.
What We Did
Industry
What is the difference?
Drupal and WordPress are content management systems (CMS). However, WordPress is probably the better known of the two. After all, it’s the most popular CMS globally, powering over 40% of websites, which equates to nearly 15% of the web!
WordPress is known for being user-friendly and can accommodate websites of any size. It offers a simple interface to make content management easy and the ability to add custom functionality through plugins or advanced development.
Drupal, on the other hand, is powerful but also more complex. It’s flexible and extensible but usually requires lots of developer help.
Room to grow
WordPress was a better fit for Rising Bank because it offers a user-friendly and flexible platform. By transitioning from Drupal to WordPress, they gained a more intuitive backend interface, allowing their team to update content and make changes without extensive technical expertise.
Additionally, rebuilding the site with WordPress blocks ensured a clean, modular structure that maintains their existing design while improving performance and scalability. This shift provides Rising Bank with a website that is not only easier to manage but also more efficient for future growth and updates.
Why make the switch?
Ease of Use
WordPress is known for its user-friendly interface, making it easier for non-technical staff to manage and update content.
Cost-Effectiveness
WordPress often has generally lower maintenance costs and has an extensive library of plugins to extend functionality.
Improved Design Options
WordPress is a flexible framework that can be adapted into any design. Generally it can be easier to customize than Drupal.
Scalability and Flexibility
WordPress integrates smoothly with third-party tools for marketing, analytics, CRM, and more, which are crucial for the bank’s digital strategy.
Enhanced SEO Features
WordPress is designed to be SEO-friendly out of the box, with plugins like Yoast making optimization easier.
Community Support
WordPress’s vast global user base means more resources, forums, and community support compared to Drupal.
