Drupal ยท since 2008

Drupal at institutional scale.
That’s our home court.

For 18 years, Drupal has been our deepest platform. We build the kind of large, complex, multi-stakeholder Drupal sites that most agencies quietly hand off to subcontractors: higher-ed admissions, civic platforms, multi-brand enterprise. Acquia Platinum partner. Drupal Association contributor.

120+ Drupal builds shipped ยท Acquia Platinum Partner ยท Drupal 10 + 11 migrations

What’s included

Six things you get with every engagement.

01 ยท DISCOVERY

Discovery that pays back tenfold.

Four to six weeks of stakeholder interviews, content audits, governance mapping, and competitive teardowns before a single pixel moves. The work that makes everything else go fast.

02 ยท IA & DESIGN

IA & design that hold.

Information architecture, content modeling, and a complete design system you can keep using.

03 ยท BUILD

Build by senior humans.

No offshore handoffs. The team that pitched you is the team writing the code.

04 ยท A11Y

WCAG 2.2 baked in.

Accessibility is a constraint we design from. Not a phase we tack on at the end.

05 ยท MIGRATION

Content migration with zero downtime. We’ve done thousands of pages, with redirects and SEO inheritance baked in.

06 ยท TRAINING

Editor training baked in too.

What clients say in writing

KWALL did an excellent job and had an intuitive knowledge of our project that built on attributes of similar websites that we admired. KWALL’s work was quick and thorough, and everyone at KWALL was easy to work with and friendly.

FAQ

Questions worth asking.

What makes KWALL’s Drupal work different from a generalist agency that also does Drupal?

Drupal has been our deepest platform for 18 years. We’re an Acquia and Pantheon Strategic Partner and Drupal contributor. We build the complex, multi-stakeholder Drupal sites, higher-ed admissions, civic platforms, multi-brand enterprise, that most agencies hand off to subcontractors. The engineers on your project are the same ones who built those sites.

What hosting platform do you build Drupal sites on?

Pantheon is our primary platform for Drupal, where we hold a strategic Partner status. For clients with specific infrastructure requirements, we also build on Acquia or client-managed hosting. We don’t recommend commodity shared hosting for institutional Drupal sites.

How do you handle content governance for sites with many editors across departments?

Content modeling and editorial governance are where we spend significant time in discovery. We design role structures, workflow states, and content type hierarchies that give department editors autonomy over their sections without exposing the whole site to accidental changes. This is standard practice on every multi-stakeholder build.

Can you build multisite or multi-brand Drupal installations?

Yes. We’ve built several multi-brand and multisite Drupal installations for enterprise and higher-ed clients with shared design systems and separate editorial environments per brand or school. We scope these carefully upfront because the architecture decisions early on have long-term consequences.

How long does a new Drupal build typically take?

Five to twelve months depending on scope: number of content types, custom integrations (CRM, SIS, event systems), complexity of the design system, and migration volume. We can give you a narrower estimate after a two-week discovery engagement.

Made it to the bottom? You’re our kind of person.

Two ways from here. Skim the work and see if we’d be a fit, or send a quick note through the form. The founder reads them.

p.s. we will respond. by Tuesday at the latest.
