Midpoint – there’s no shortage of Drupal projects!

Published on 20 November 2020

We haven’t given any updates since last July... It’s not due to a lack of information, but a lack of time. We’re aware of the difficult situation some of our partners are going through, and we’re doing what we can to support them. Let’s be honest, that’s not our case. Here’s a look back at the activity of the past three months.

3 very intense months

Remote work, shifts in the office, video meetings, laughter, arguments, tension... The last 3 months have kept up the same pace as the rest of the year without slowing down. Activity is intense, projects follow one another, and so do successes... Without taking the time to celebrate them, to enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done, together. 

Luckily, morale is good, we take turns, we support each other, we open the windows wide, we cough into our elbows, and we move forward!

A first Drupal 9 site in production

In recent weeks, we also had a chance to work with Drupal version 9. All new projects were started with Drupal 9 and we have begun the first upgrades from Drupal 7 and 8 to Drupal 9... We hope to soon share feedback from our developers’ experience in this area. That's the hidden part of the iceberg. As for the visible part, we launched our first Drupal 9 site in September: the ideal project to start with — a small site with a limited functional scope.

UX/UI design, development, and theming.
