The world of special education requires dedicated attention, specialized tools, and a deep understanding of unique learning needs. N2Y has been at the forefront of this domain, providing a comprehensive suite of special education software, curriculum, and learning tools. With a belief that everyone can learn, N2Y has served as the nation’s leading solution for special education.
Their commitment extends beyond the classroom, touching the lives of educators, service providers, families, and, most importantly, the students they serve. However, even the pioneers of an industry face challenges that need to be addressed to maintain their leadership position.
The Challenge
Recognizing the pressing need for digital evolution, N2Y approached Seahawk to rejuvenate its online platform. Their vast experience and extensive offerings conveyed the urgency for a substantial overhaul. Their challenges were twofold:
- Content Expansion: The evolving needs of the special education community required N2Y to expand its digital content, demanding the addition of more pages and microsites to its existing website.
- Technological Upgradation: As technology advanced, N2Y’s platform began to show signs of age. Their site operated on outdated versions of SQL, PHP, WordPress, and several plugins. This lag impacted the website’s performance, security, and ability to deliver N2Y’s rich content effectively.
