Considering Alternatives to Drupal 10?

Explore alternatives to Drupal 10 with our platform selection service. We work with you to select the ideal CMS platform based on your needs, ensuring a smooth integration and optimal performance.

Why is it crucial 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 Drupal 10 or an alternative CMS ensures ongoing security and support.

Can I upgrade my  Drupal 7 website to another CMS platform?

Yes, you can migrate your Drupal 7 website to another CMS platform, but it's important to understand that migrating away from Drupal 7 involves a rebuild rather than a straightforward upgrade. This is regardless of the CMS platform chosen, including migrating to Drupal 10.

There are a few reasons for this, including technology stack differences (deprecated PHP code and new templates) and content structure variations.

How do I know which CMS is the right fit for our requirements?

Our experts conduct a thorough assessment, understanding your unique needs and suggesting CMS options which align with your goals and preferences.

What are the key benefits of your platform selection service?

Our service analyses your needs both technically and from a strategic business perspective. Our team then recommends the most suitable CMS alternatives considering factors such as scalability, features and future compatibility.

How long does this process take?

Our experience has shown that most Drupal 7 upgrades, from initial conversations to launch, usually take around 12 months. This timeline does vary based on the complexity of your website, how quickly decisions and budgets are signed off and other variables.
