IT Kartellet was responsible for the implementation of nordic.argon18.com in Drupal 8, as well as the development of associated integration with Navision and the development of a separate front-end application in Angular. The latter is connected to Drupal through a REST API, which pulls and sends data to and from Drupal through a series of web services developed on both sides.

Argon 18 developed the design in collaboration with their regular design agency located in Canada. IT Kartellet, therefore, based the implemented design on design templates and a design manual from there but also developed additional templates themselves to cover the page types that were not part of the design proposal. The design was created on a Bootstrap base and with jQuery as a tool to create a flicker-free website for the user, as well as easy access to elements like lazy-load, etc. The entire site was made responsive to ensure that the solution also works on mobile devices.

The solution was based on Drupal 8 with Drupal Commerce as the underlying shop solution. MariaDB was chosen as the underlying database, which worked together with Apache Solr as the search engine for searching content in Drupal. The entire site was made to support the accessibility requirements WCAG 2.1 Level A.

In addition to assisting with the development of the site, IT Kartellet has been responsible for the operation, maintenance, and support of the site since it was launched. This includes continuous updates and upgrades, as well as further development.
