FTTH Council: An Industry Association Site

Now in its tenth year, the Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Council North America is a non-profit association consisting of companies and organizations that deliver video, Internet and/or voice services over high-bandwidth, next-generation, direct fiber optic connections - as well as those involved in planning and building FTTH networks.

The Council had hired a firm (no longer in existence) to rebuild their site using Drupal and CiviCRM, but due to a lack of expertise, the site was slow and buggy, and the firm went out of business. Blackfly was hired in early 2010 to perform an audit of the site, and then in September, took over the hosting and development.

Bringing the site onto our dedicated Drupal/CiviCRM servers and removing a bunch of unused modules helped bring down the page load speed from 4 seconds to 1 second. We look forward to cleaning up the visual experience and sorting out some of the other issues over the coming year!
