Esokia at the service of Albéa: the project

Albéa was a Drupal user for many years, especially with the latest version Drupal 7. They decided to capitalize on their experience with Drupal by choosing to migrate from Drupal 7 to Drupal 9 and 10. Our digital agency had the opportunity to set up a very complete project for Albéa; starting with the creation of their website to present this group and all its products and services in a practical and elegant way. We planned our intervention over a period of 3 to 4 months. We are proud to announce that the website created will be put online in March 2022.

We accompanied our client, from the beginning to the end, over the complete cycle of the project, that is to say:

• The analysis and design;
• The UX/UI design ;
