Drupal Migration Services & 7, 8, 9 Upgrades

Drupal upgrades, done the smart way

After November 2023, Drupal 7 will no longer be officially supported by the Drupal community. Websites using Drupal 7 after this date, risk security and performance issues. Learn more about the end of Drupal 7 here.

Our strategy, design and UX, development, and support teams can support your Drupal 7 solution while advising your re-platform to Drupal 9 or an alternative.

Drupal 9, delivered faster.

We know the features of a successful website, so we crafted them into a ground-breaking Drupal accelerator.

Our unique accelerator streamlines the process of migrating to Drupal 9, enabling us to deliver to shorter timeframes and with substantial cost-efficiencies.

Built with the Public Sector and Higher Education in mind, our accelerator maintains high-performance and underpins our development of WCAG 2.1 compliant accessible websites.

Migration Veterans in Drupal

We use Drupal to give clients like the University of West London and The Wildlife Trusts world-class levels of security, performance, flexibility and scalability.

Enterprise-level features and accessibility compliance make Drupal a catch-all for institutions, Public Sector, membership and growing businesses.

We’ve successfully migrated sites from platforms such as Wordpress, Joomla, and Umbraco, to deliver a Drupal ecosystem that better meets their goals.

Drupal 8 Vs Drupal 9

Drupal 9 functions inline with Drupal 8 systems, meaning websites no longer need to be ‘migrated’ between versions and instead can be ‘updated’.

Updating to Drupal 8 from Drupal 9 is cost-efficient, streamlined, and carries a host of performance, security and innovation properties with it.

A solution similar to your existing site, with a design refresh.
