Phase2 was founded in 2001 in Portland, Oregon, and has become one of the most recognized names in the Drupal and open-source CMS world. The agency builds content platforms, digital experiences, and web applications for large organizations, with a particular focus on government, higher education, media, and nonprofit sectors.
The company has been a top contributor to the Drupal open-source project for years. They’ve built and maintained major Drupal distributions and modules, and several Phase2 team members hold leadership roles in the Drupal community. This deep involvement means their developers understand the platform at a level few agencies can match.
Phase2’s client list includes the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Georgetown University, the World Bank, and NBC Universal. Many of these engagements involve building content management systems that handle millions of page views and complex editorial workflows.
Beyond Drupal, Phase2 works with JavaScript frameworks (React, Next.js), headless CMS architectures, and DevOps tooling. As the web has moved toward decoupled front ends, Phase2 has adapted by building headless Drupal implementations that pair a Drupal content backend with modern JavaScript front ends.
The company operates as a remote-first organization with around 100 employees spread across the US. They’ve maintained their open-source ethos throughout their growth, contributing code, documentation, and community support back to the projects they use. Phase2’s annual revenue and consistent project pipeline make them one of the anchor agencies in the Drupal ecosystem.
