From Drupal 5 to Drupal Canvas: Keeping KSER on the Air Through Two Decades of the Web

KSER is a community radio station. Community radio doesn’t get downtime — or a huge IT budget.

We started maintaining KSER’s Drupal 5 site in 2013, even though Drupal 5 had already reached end-of-life. For more than a decade, we kept it secure, stable, and useful while the station put its resources where they mattered most.

Now KSER has a new home on Drupal 11 and Drupal CMS, with Drupal Canvas for easier content management and a persistent audio player that keeps the station streaming while visitors move through the site.

Sometimes the right answer isn’t “rebuild now.” It’s maintain what you have well, then replace it when the time is right.

Orientation and Reflow

Picture someone with a tablet mounted on their wheelchair in landscape orientation. They navigate to your site, but it forces portrait mode, making it impossible to use without physically rotating their mounted device - something they can't easily do. Or imagine someone with low vision zooming their browser to 400%, only to find they now have to scroll horizontally to read every single line of text.
