Project Phases & Timeline

Current Phase: Delivery Phase

Due to the size and functionality of 麻豆国产AV's website, our vendor needs additional time to complete the site delivery. In consultation with the WRP stakeholders, the WRP team has decided to delay the launch of Wave 1 until after the start of the fall semester.

Project Phases

Licensed Acquia Cloud and Acquia DAM

COMPLETE Fall 2020

麻豆国产AV acquired Acquia Cloud and Acquia DAM as well Drupal, which will replace Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) as our content management system.

Identified Agency Partner, KWALL

COMPLETE January 2021

麻豆国产AV worked with KWALL - a premier web design agency specializing in higher education websites - to develop a website that is modern, accessible and creates a cohesive user experience that tells the Monarch story to the world across all platforms.

Research and Discovery Phase | Digital Strategy & Planning

COMPLETE March - June 2021

Determined which features and technologies to implement through stakeholder interviews, student and faculty/staff focus groups & agency best-practice recommendations.

Design Phase

COMPLETE June - December 2021

Developed a comprehensive digital design standard that leverages the 麻豆国产AV brand using existing brand guidelines & graphic identity. The designs were shared with project stakeholders, students, faculty, staff, and campus partners at multiple stages throughout this phase.

Development Phase

COMPLETE December 2021 - April 2022

Build and deploy the platform for the new content management system (CMS).

Delivery Phase

KWALL will deliver the site to 麻豆国产AV for content migration, QA periods, and testing before the site is live. The content migration will occur in multiple phases, with the first-wave of pages being launched when the new website goes live in the Fall of 2022. The Web Redesign Core Team will be working with units across campus to identify which wave they will be a part of. The schedule of waves can be found here:

The Website Redesign Core Team will continue to work with campus partners to migrate all content from AEM to Drupal, until all pages are migrated to the new content management system (CMS).

Decommission Adobe Experience Manager (AEM)

Once all content is migrated, 麻豆国产AV will decommission AEM and be functioning fully on Drupal.
