Website Problems
Stuck on an old version of Drupal? Let's modernize it safely.
Older Drupal versions eventually lose support, and staying on them gets riskier every month. We plan and carry out upgrades that preserve your content and functionality while bringing the platform up to date.
Drupal is powerful, but major version upgrades are real projects — not a button you click. Sites built on older versions (like Drupal 7) eventually reach end-of-life, which means no more security fixes and mounting risk. Meanwhile, the modules and custom code that made your site work may not have direct equivalents in the newer version, so a thoughtful migration plan matters.
We help organizations move off aging Drupal safely: auditing what you have, mapping content and functionality to the new version, and executing the migration with as little disruption as possible. Where a full re-platform makes more sense than an in-place upgrade, we'll tell you honestly rather than force a path.
Does this sound familiar?
- You're on Drupal 7 or another version nearing end-of-life
- You're no longer getting security updates
- Modules you rely on are unmaintained
- You're afraid an upgrade will break the site
- Your team can't safely maintain the current build
- You've been quoted for an upgrade and want a sanity check
Why Drupal upgrades are their own kind of project
Unlike minor updates, moving between major Drupal versions often involves a migration rather than an upgrade in place. Content types, custom modules, themes, and integrations all need to be evaluated and, in many cases, rebuilt on the new architecture. Skipping that planning is how upgrades blow past budget or quietly lose functionality.
The upside is that a well-planned migration is also a chance to shed years of accumulated cruft — unused modules, brittle customizations, and content that no longer earns its place. Done right, you come out the other side with a faster, more secure, more maintainable site rather than just a newer version number.
