As a trusted contractor under the NARA Digital BPA, Agileana successfully led the redesign and redevelopment of the National Archives Museum website. This initiative focused on modernizing the digital experience while meeting rigorous federal standards for accessibility, security, and performance. Agileana collaborated closely with NARA stakeholders to deliver a solution that is fully compliant with Section 508 accessibility guidelines, optimized for mobile and high-traffic performance, and aligned with best practices in user-centered design.

Through a combination of technical expertise and agile project delivery, Agileana transformed the museum’s digital presence into a modern, intuitive, and highly functional platform that enhances public access to historical exhibits and resources. This project stands as a showcase of Agileana’s ability to support mission-driven government organizations through strategic digital transformation.

Scope of Work

AWS Connection

The AWS Connection scope covers the integration of the Drupal platform with Amazon Web Services infrastructure to enable scalable, secure, and high-performance hosting. This includes provisioning and configuration of services such as EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, and Route 53, tailored to the application's architecture. Secure communication between Drupal and AWS resources is established using IAM roles, environment variables, and encrypted protocols. The result is a cloud-native deployment optimized for reliability, elasticity, and operational efficiency.

Drupal Migration

The Drupal Migration scope involves the structured transition of legacy content, configurations, and functionality from a previous version of Drupal (or another CMS) into a modern, stable Drupal 10 environment. This process includes content modeling, taxonomy alignment, data transformation, and validation to ensure data integrity and platform compatibility. The migration leverages core and contributed modules such as Migrate API and Migrate Plus, enabling automated, repeatable workflows that minimize downtime and reduce manual effort.
