Why Horizontal Migrated from WordPress to Drupal: Key Benefits and Improvements
Migrating from WordPress to Drupal has transformed Horizontal's blogging experience, addressing key pain points and improving workflow, governance, and performance. While WordPress is a popular and easy-to-use platform, it no longer aligns with Horizontal's mission to deliver connected, scalable experiences for its clients. A blog post on Horizontal, explains how Drupal’s Migrate framework enabled the seamless transition, preserving all content and media from WordPress while refreshing the site’s look and feel.
Drupal’s Workflows module empowered the marketing team with tailored publishing processes, and features like OpenID Connect simplified content contributions. The migration also brought significant performance boosts, leveraging recent Drupal enhancements such as lazy loading and improved media management. As Horizontal continues to optimize its blog, Drupal's flexibility promises even more innovations, from AI integrations to lead capture.
