01 / The problem
What the business needed to solve.
Abrams Learning Trends offered a broad range of Pre-K–5 teaching resources, but its product groupings had grown difficult to navigate and maintain. Bringing more than 1,200 items into commerce demanded a taxonomy that would survive migration intact.
The objectives
- 01Make categories intuitive for educators
- 02Preserve relationships among 1,200+ products
- 03Support a responsive, maintainable storefront
02 / The solution
A more useful digital experience.
Pixeldust Interactive developed a reusable product hierarchy, migrated the catalog into Drupal Commerce, and built two custom Drupal modules to address the project's requirements. A Foundation-based responsive theme and Pantheon hosting supported the new storefront.
Structured product import
The migration preserved the product taxonomy across more than 1,200 entries.
Responsive Drupal foundation
Custom modules, Foundation styling, and Pantheon hosting formed an extensible platform.
03 / Business value
How the work helped the business.
The work addressed a real challenge for Abrams Learning Trends—improving the experience for customers, teams, or both.
Easier product discovery
Educators could explore resources through clearer groupings instead of navigating an inconsistent catalog.
More reliable operations
A reproducible taxonomy reduced the work required to organize and maintain products.
Room to grow
The architecture provided a practical basis for future catalog additions and commerce changes.
04 / Technology
