Optimizing the haystack: Improving findability in content-heavy websites: DrupalCon Portland 2022

In this session, speakers Sam Zimmerman, Michele Ann Jenkins, and Sujatha Varadharajan address the critical issue of content findability in website planning and design, particularly for large organizations like the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

The talk outlines their migration of OHCHR’s website from SharePoint to Drupal 8, emphasizing the significance of a comprehensive taxonomy framework to enhance user experience and streamline content access. Attendees will gain valuable insights into best practices for enterprise-scale site migrations, focusing on taxonomy and content modeling to inform user experience and technical planning.
