DX8, Drupal, and Acquia- What the Cohesion Acquisition Means for You

DX8, Drupal, and Acquia- What the Cohesion Acquisition Means for You

With Acquia’s acquisition of Cohesion DX8 (now Acquia Site Studio), we are entering an exciting new phase as a leading agency in delivering DX8 web platforms. But what does this mean for your business?

Branded Building Blocks at Your Fingertips

Acquia Site Studio (formerly DX8) empowers non-technical teams to create and manage websites using branded design systems—collections of reusable components like hero sections, banners, sliders, and video players. These building blocks allow your marketing team to assemble custom pages, update existing ones, and experiment with new content, all without being tied to rigid templates or needing developer support. This flexibility means you can pivot quickly based on analytics, optimising your content and marketing efforts in real time.

Seamless Integration with Drupal

The power behind Acquia Site Studio lies in its integration with Drupal, an enterprise-level, open-source CMS known for its security, scalability, and flexibility. Drupal enables seamless connections with CRM systems, digital asset management (DAM) platforms, personalization engines, and back-office systems, making it ideal for businesses with complex infrastructure needs. Additionally, its multi-site capabilities allow global organisations to manage multiple web properties from a single platform, streamlining localization and speed-to-market.

Scale and Agility with Acquia’s Platform-as-a-Service

A CMS is only as effective as the platform it runs on. Acquia provides enterprise-grade cloud hosting that ensures your sites scale to meet global demand, with tools that go beyond hosting. Acquia’s comprehensive suite of services—including Lift, Journey, and Site Factory—supports the entire digital customer experience. Site Studio enhances this stack by giving your team the ability to build and manage pages quickly, making it a key part of the Acquia ecosystem.

With over 20 successful DX8 platform builds and years of expertise in design systems, our team is excited about the opportunities Acquia Site Studio brings. If you’re ready to see how this acquisition could benefit your business, get in touch with us today.
