Annertech.com is Ireland's first live Drupal 8 website

Parent Feed: 

Annertech have always been Ireland's pioneers and thought-leaders when it comes to Drupal and open source technology. We have consistently had a new live version of our website ready on the day that a new version of Drupal was released: Drupal 5, Drupal 6, Drupal 7. This time however, we've surpassed and surprised even ourselves: we have a new website - launched today - months in advance of an official release of Drupal 8.

#d8in8

We ran an 8 week internal competition called #D8in8. This gave each member of our team 8 weeks to build "something" with Drupal 8. After this each "annertechie" (you'll know us by our t-shirts) gave an 8 minute presentation on what they built, why they built it, and what they learned about Drupal 8 along the way. You can find out more about it in this blog post.

Contributing to Core

One of the great things about the #D8in8 initiative was that we contributed a lot of code back to the Drupal ecosystem. It means that now every member of our team has contributions to Drupal 8 core - some front end, some back end, some documentation. This gave us a head start when it came to building annertech.com as we knew we had a team that could come up with the Drupal 8 goods. If something we needed wasn't available, we built it ourselves and contributed it back to the Drupal community in the form of core patches or contributed modules.

Expanded team

We are bigger than ever. In the past year we have expanded our team by about 25%, taking on people to work in the areas of content strategy, front end design, back end development, custom application building, and graphic design. This added personnel allowed us to work with clients at about 88% capacity and spend 12% of our time building up our Drupal 8 knowledge and other capabilities.

What does all this mean?

It's quite simple: Annertech remains the leader in Drupal implementations in Ireland. So, if you want to use the most up-to-date, cutting edge, free, open source content management system available, you know who to contact.
