Metro recently selected Drupal to be the single content management system for all its websites. Websites for the Oregon Zoo, Portland Expo Center and Portland Center for the Performing Arts have all been migrated to Drupal over the last year. An 18-month project to redesign and redevelop Metro’s website begins in July 2012. A number of individual web applications will also be migrated to Drupal, and additional tools and features are planned for all of the sites.
These projects, as well as the shift to a new platform and environment, present a number of opportunities for contracted services to extend the capacity and expertise of Metro’s web team. Metro intends to create a pool of experts in web strategy and planning, design and user experience, Drupal development and training, and web infrastructure systems to collaborate on a variety of web projects over the next two years.
