EMERGENT BIOSOLUTIONS Emergent Biosolutions (EBSI) is focused on providing specialty products for civilian and military populations that address intentional and naturally emerging public health threats. EBSI is strongly committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct and corporate governance, in order to improve the quality of life for people worldwide. Meanwhile, North Studio’s job was to improve the quality of their website. Drupal Upgrade, UX Design, Digital Strategy, Support THE PROJECT An Existing Drupal Site EBSI contracted North Studio to support their existing Drupal site in 2013. At the time, their site suffered from lack of responsiveness, lagging speed, and an outdated back-end that was difficult to manage and update. This provided for an ineffective and poor quality user experience, and it created difficulties for site editors and administrators. And, these pain points needed to be resolved in their Drupal 8 rebuild. OUR WORK Drupal Upgrade EBSI came to North Studio using a Drupal platform. And, after discussion and assessment it was determined that remaining in Drupal and moving to Drupal 8 would be the most effective and scalable approach for their corporation. UX Design FCI Creative generated the design files and consulted with our team to ensure that their designs would address usability concerns, work into a Drupal 8 framework and provide a stunning visual experience for the end user. Digital Strategy At the time of their rebuild, internet marketing was not high on the list of requirements for EBSI – barely at all. However, it was high on the list of priorities for their Manufacturing Expertise department. In saying that, EBSI partnered with Stikky Media to boost the content directly related to Manufacturing Expertise and have been supporting their marketing initiatives post launch.
