VC3 Retiring mojoPortal CMS

As technology evolves, some tools not only grow very outdated but they also become security and operational risks. The content management system (CMS) that your website runs on is an example of one of those outdated technologies.

The backend of your website runs on a platform called mojoPortal. As you know, this platform provides you basic CMS functionality including pages with a menu structure, calendar events that can repeat, and basic file upload storage.

In its day, mojoPortal was a leading CMS and our team was able to customize it for clients as needed. However, around 2016, mojoPortal stopped evolving as updates to the core platform ceased. Today, this platform is completely outdated.

Since 2017, VC3 has used Drupal-a much more established, robust CMS platform-to build websites, redesign websites, and accommodate any custom website requests that a client wants. Drupal is robust, stable, secure, modern, and evolving. mojoPortal isn't. While we've been able to support mojoPortal clients for a while, most have transitioned to Drupal or other CMS platforms.

As a result of the increasing inability to effectively support mojoPortal, we are retiring this platform with our clients. You will need to begin planning a switch to Drupal or another platform as your CMS.

The benefits of VC3 redesigning your website in Drupal include:

• Stability: In existence since the early 2000s, Drupal is one of the top three CMSs in the world, with a plethora of dedicated volunteers (including a dedicated volunteer-based security team). It's unlikely to go away any time soon.
• Scalability: The Drupal CMS platform has everything that mojoPortal provides and more, including custom code that VC3 can write. To date, we've been able to handle any client request thrown at us related to the Drupal platform.
• Security: Drupal receives regular security and platform updates to eliminate vulnerabilities. In today's environment, ensuring the security of your website and CMS is important - and it's difficult to secure these assets with an outdated, unsupported platform like mojoPortal.

Let us know which direction you'd like to go, and we can follow up with you about a timeframe for transitioning your website to Drupal or another platform.
