Westborough, MA – Wakefly, a premier digital agency and Umbraco Platinum Partner, recently completed a comprehensive website replatforming and redesign for the American Vacuum Society. By migrating AVS’s digital presence from Kentico 12 to the Umbraco 17 CMS, Wakefly delivered a highly adaptable backend experience while retaining all the essential functionality that members rely on daily.
AVS engaged Wakefly to migrate their site to the latest Umbraco version. The resulting Umbraco 17 architecture ensures a streamlined publishing process and gives internal teams the autonomy to update pages with ease. This upgraded platform perfectly balances Umbraco’s enterprise strengths with bespoke development to meet the specific demands of AVS. During the transition from Kentico, Wakefly engineered a suite of modular, reusable building blocks to make routine site administration effortless resulting in an intuitive authoring experience
Ultimately, this migration establishes a highly secure and future-proof digital environment for the organization. AVS is on a scalable Umbraco 17 ecosystem that maximizes internal efficiency and paves the way for continuous online growth.

About AVS
American Vacuum Society (AVS) is an international community of scientists, engineers, and instrument manufacturers, which strives to promote research and communicate knowledge in the important areas of surface, interface, vacuum, and thin film science and technology for the advancement of humankind. In 1953, 56 people from diverse technical backgrounds, gathered in New York City to consider the need for a forum to discuss problems and applications of high vacuum technology. Six days later, the Committee on Vacuum Techniques was formally organized with the mandate to initiate a symposium and develop programs for education and for standards. The first symposium was held June 16-18, 1954 and attracted 295 registrants from several countries.
