Directives

Good afternoon all

My agency is looking to move our directives website to, we hope a web application. We need to move it to our current CMS but in the future we will like to host it in Drupal 8.

The site has about 15 pages and hundreds of pdf files that are the directives, procedures, certificates …. with their respective pending/old/new versions. We were wondering if someone can share their set up with their pros and cons, lesson learned and any recommendations. The current site is hosted right now at http://redirect.state.sbu/?url=http://www.nws.noaa.gov/directives/.
