Why upgrade now
End-of-life Drupal is a liability, not just a technical debt.
Drupal 7 and 9 no longer receive security patches from the Drupal Security Team. Any vulnerabilities discovered are left permanently unpatched — making your site an easy target. Beyond security, older versions miss out on performance improvements, modern API integrations and accessibility standards.
- No security patches for Drupal 7 since January 2025
- Drupal 9 reached end of life November 2023
- Unpatched CVEs actively exploited in the wild
- Hosting providers dropping PHP versions required by older Drupal
- Modern integrations (headless, API-first) require Drupal 10+
What's included
A complete upgrade, not just a version bump.
Codebase Analysis
Full audit of your custom modules, themes and contributed modules — identifying what needs upgrading, replacing or rewriting.
Content Migration
All your content, media, users, configuration and taxonomy migrated accurately with integrity checks at every step.
Custom Module Porting
We port your bespoke Drupal modules and themes to the new version, maintaining all existing functionality.
Contributed Module Audit
Every third-party module reviewed — upgraded, replaced with a compatible alternative, or retired if unused.
Performance Baseline
Post-upgrade performance testing to ensure the new site is faster — not just newer.
Zero-Downtime Cutover
DNS-level cutover with instant rollback capability. Your users experience no interruption.
Post-Launch Support
30 days of post-launch monitoring and priority support included with every upgrade project.
Our process
A proven path from old Drupal to new.
Discovery & Scoping
We audit your existing site — codebase, database, hosting, modules and content. This produces a detailed project scope with a fixed-price quote and realistic timeline.
Build on Staging
The entire upgrade is performed on a parallel staging environment. Your live site is untouched throughout.
Testing & QA
Functional testing across all content types, views, forms and integrations. Accessibility and performance baselines are verified before cutover.
Content Freeze & Migration
A final content sync from live to staging ensures nothing is lost. We schedule a short content freeze — typically 30 minutes.
Cutover & Monitoring
DNS is updated to point to the new site. We monitor for 48 hours post-launch and remain on call for the first 30 days.
