We're now back and refreshed from the break, so what's next? As we head into 2022 we will be making improvements to the site through a program of user testing. We'll also be adding more @LocalGovDrupal functionality. Watch this space for more updates!

Just before Christmas we switched our website from beta to live. Apparently we were so tired we forgot to tweet about it, but it went smoothly! bracknell-forest.gov.uk

We have migrated the last section of existing content to our @LocalGovDrupal beta site! That is about 1700 pages of content created in under 6 months. What an awesome achievement from the team! Take a look at that final section at beta.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/council-and-de… #localgov

This is abolsutely cracking from @cakecontent - a free online course on user research methods cakeconsultancy.com/product/user-r…

This week we've set live: Health and social care: beta.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/health-and-soc… Schools and learning: beta.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/schools-and-le… Consultations: beta.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/consultations #localgovdigital #localgovdrupal

A week after soft launching our beta site we have upgraded it from Drupal 8 to Drupal 9. With this task complete we can now focus on the task of migrating content and start planning what additional functionality we can add from LocalGov Drupal. Exciting times! #localgovdrupal

We've migrated some more sections of content to our @LocalGovDrupal beta site this week. Take a look at jobs, council tax and housing! beta.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/jobs beta.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/council-tax beta.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/housing #localgovdigital #localgovdrupal
