Background
Angstrom Sciences, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of magnetron sputtering cathodes. The company, headed by its President, sought a partner to update and migrate their website from Drupal to WordPress. They turned to CMSTOWP for this critical transition.
Opportunity/Challenge
The primary challenge Angstrom Sciences faced was the need to upgrade their outdated website, which was built on Drupal. The objective was to ensure a smooth and efficient migration to WordPress while maintaining the integrity of the content and improving user experience. They required a reliable partner who could manage this transition without disrupting their business operations.
Solution
Having an established relationship with CMSTOWP and previous positive experiences, Angstrom Sciences opted to work with them again. The decision was influenced by CMSTOWP’s competitive pricing, which fit the company’s budget, and the good value for money they had received in the past. CMSTOWP assigned a team of 2-5 employees to carry out the project.
Scope of Work
CMSTOWP’s role was to update and transfer the website from Drupal to WordPress. This involved ensuring that all content, design elements, and functionality were retained or enhanced during the migration. The team worked diligently to complete the transition without impacting the company’s online presence. The key deliverables included a fully updated and functional WordPress site, with improved performance and a more user-friendly interface.
Results & Feedback
The project was a success. Angstrom Sciences’ website was efficiently updated and transferred from Drupal to WordPress, meeting all the objectives set forth at the beginning of the engagement. The measurable outcome was the successful migration of the entire website, with minimal disruption to the business.

CMSTOWP’s project management skills were evident throughout the process. They maintained excellent communication with Angstrom Sciences, promptly responding to all requests and ensuring that all deliverables were met on time. The company’s responsiveness and ability to quickly complete tasks were highly appreciated by the client.
Communication
The primary forms of communication were virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps. This multi-channel communication approach kept the project on track and allowed both teams to address any issues immediately.
Unique Selling Point
What stood out most to Angstrom Sciences was CMSTOWP’s responsiveness and their ability to complete the project quickly. This efficiency, combined with their attentiveness, made the project run smoothly and ensured the client’s satisfaction.
Area for Improvement
One area for improvement noted by the client was the use of both Basecamp and Zohosprints for project management. This occasionally caused confusion, as the team had to navigate between two platforms to track progress and manage tasks.

Their responsiveness, attention to detail, and ability to quickly complete the work made them a valuable partner for this website upgrade.
