The Challenge

Harvard Law School needed front-end development support for various law school websites running on Drupal. The work involved event calendar integration, faculty directory enhancements, custom Drupal module development, and theme improvements across multiple properties — all delivered on a tight timeline while coordinating with the internal web team.

The Solution

We provided focused front-end development and Drupal customization services. This included integrating event calendar systems, enhancing the faculty directory with improved search and filtering, developing custom Drupal modules for specific functionality needs, and implementing theme updates across multiple law school websites. All work was delivered incrementally with careful coordination to avoid disruption to existing workflows.
