The Department of Energy worked with Phase2 to transform how they communicate and engage with their constituents by overhauling their digital presence and launching the new Energy.gov with Drupal.

Flexibility with centralized brand management

In order to transform the way the department’s digital presence, they needed a centralized architecture that could accommodate dozens of agency sites and empower hundreds of editors with a streamlined publishing workflow. A Drupal platform enabled the department to deliver a mobile-first user experience that reflects the fervent pace of innovation found at the world’s authority on energy technology and policy. The combination of an award-winning mobile-first design and tools that promote flexibility, centralized CMS management, and editor independence has made Energy.gov the standard-bearer for digital in the federal sphere.

Following the platform redesign in 2011, and a responsive retrofit in 2013, as a trusted long time partner, Phase2 provides ongoing day-to-day support which involves working with their hosting provider on ensuring the sites are up and running, available, and scaled appropriately, as well as feature enhancements and bug reports as they come through on a monthly development cycle. Our work is continuing to evolve together with a breakthough redesign of Energy.gov slated to launch in early 2017.
