Migrate from Drupal 7 to Another CMS with Confidence and Precision

Modernising Your Digital Strategy Post-Drupal 7

Content Personalisation

Modern CMS platforms often come equipped with personalisation tools. Marketers can leverage these features to tailor content based on user behaviour, preferences, and demographics. This targeted approach ensures that visitors receive content that resonates with them, leading to higher engagement and conversion rates.

Data-driven Decision Making

As we move away from third-party cookies and the use of personalisation becomes more prevalent, marketers can gain valuable insights into content performance, user behaviour and other key metrics from their updated CMS platform. This data-driven approach enables informed decision-making, enabling marketers to refine their strategies quicker and based on real-time information.

Integrated Marketing Automation

Many modern CMS solutions integrate with marketing automation tools, streamlining marketing workflows, automating repetitive tasks, and enabling better lead nurturing. MArketers can create more personalised and timely communication, increasing their campaigns' efficiency and effectiveness.

Compliance Assurance

Maintain and exceed industry standards and regulations with a modern CMS platform. Ensure adherence to evolving guidelines around data privacy by upgrading your Drupal 7 website to a supported CMS.

"Having a new and improved website is a complete game-changer. Previously, we had a number of disparate websites with little integration in place between them and no cohesive digital roadmap. Now, with the help of CTI Digital, we have taken a huge step forward with our digital ambitions."

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it necessary to move from Drupal 7?

Drupal 7’s end of life means no more security updates or official support, exposing your site to vulnerabilities. Building your site on an alternative CMS ensures ongoing security and support.

How long does the upgrade process take?

Our experience has found that most Drupal 7 upgrade projects take around 12 months from initial conversations to launch. This includes audits, quotes, getting approvals and the conversations both internally with your teams and with us to launch of your new site.

Can we ‘lift and shift’ our Drupal 7 site to another CMS solution?

Our thorough website audits assess your current digital estate, identifying areas that may need improvement in order to be compatible with a supported CMS solution. 

Due to the age of Drupal 7, no matter what CMS platform you choose, migrating from Drupal 7 will be a rebuild project, even if choosing Drupal 10.

This is because the technology used has changed drastically and is no longer compatible.



What factors should I consider when selecting a new CMS for my website?

Our platform selection service takes into account your unique requirements, scalability needs, and desired features to recommend a CMS option which is tailored to your business goals.

How long does the rebuild of a Drupal 7 website take?

Our experience of rebuilding clients’ Drupal 7 websites has shown that from initial conversations to launch can take around 12 months. This will depend on the complexity of the project but is a rough estimate which includes getting budgets signed off and exploring options.
