Details

IISC is perfectly positioned for this project because we already have a blog that is operating on a wordpress platform. Our website, on the other hand, is using Drupal and while having that content management system is better than nothing, it is not at all satisfactory. Plus, our website is overly static and crying out for something more! The intention is to merge the website and blog such that the blog is incorporated into the website, the look and feel of IISC is retained, and additional functionality beyond what we currently have is introduced. Our goal is to create one site from what we can effectively inform and interact with our stakeholders.
