A lot of good organizations are still running Drupal 7. It worked for years, but Drupal 7 reached end of life in January 2025 and no longer gets official security updates, and finding developers who want to maintain it gets harder every year. Older Drupal 8 and 9 sites are past their support dates too.

Moving off an old Drupal site is mostly about the details: thousands of pages, files, users and URLs that all need to arrive in the right place. We plan the move, migrate the content with scripts instead of copy and paste, keep your search rankings intact, and hand over a site your team can actually run.

What our Drupal migration services include

Every Drupal site is different, so every migration starts with a review. These six pieces are part of every project.

Site audit.

An inventory of your content types, fields, modules, users and integrations, so nothing is missed.

Content migration.

Pages, posts, media, files and taxonomy moved with scripts, so formatting and relationships survive.

Redirects and SEO.

Every old URL mapped to its new address, with titles, descriptions and Search Console checked after launch.

Templates or redesign.

Your current design rebuilt on the new platform, or a fresh design if it is time for one.

Security and accessibility.

A supported platform, current software and WCAG 2.2 AA checks on the new templates.

Training and support.

A walkthrough for your editors and support after launch, with an optional care plan.

Where we move Drupal sites

Drupal to WordPress migration

The right move for most small teams and nonprofits that edit their own content. WordPress is easy to learn, and there is a huge choice of developers and plugins if you ever need help.

Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 or 11

The right move when the site has complex content, many editors with different permissions, or integrations that already depend on Drupal. There is no one-click upgrade from Drupal 7: the site is rebuilt on current Drupal and the content is moved with Drupal's Migrate API.

Drupal to Next.js and Sanity

A modern headless setup: very fast, very hard to hack, and pleasant to edit. It is what this site runs on. See our recent work or how we handle accessibility.

How a Drupal migration runs

Four stages, and your current site stays live until the new one is ready.

1

Review.

We audit your Drupal site and recommend where it should go, with a fixed quote.

2

Plan.

A content map, a redirect map and a launch plan, agreed before any build starts.

3

Build and migrate.

The new site is built and your content is moved over by script, then checked page by page.

4

Launch.

Redirects go live, Search Console is monitored, and your team is trained on the new site.

Drupal migration FAQ

How much does a Drupal migration cost?

Our Drupal migrations start at $7,500. The final price depends on how much content you have, how many content types and custom modules the site uses, and where it is moving to. You get a fixed quote after a free review of your site, before any work starts.

What is a Drupal migration?

A Drupal migration moves your website, content, files, users and URLs from one platform to another: from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 or 11, or from Drupal to WordPress or a headless setup like Next.js with Sanity. The content is moved by script, the design is rebuilt on the new platform, and old URLs are redirected so visitors and Google can still find every page.

Is Drupal 7 still safe to run?

Drupal 7 reached end of life on January 5, 2025, so it no longer gets official security updates from the Drupal project. The site keeps working, but every new vulnerability stays open unless you pay for extended support. That is why most Drupal 7 owners are moving now.

Should we move to WordPress, a newer Drupal or something else?

It depends on who runs the site day to day. WordPress is easiest for small teams that edit their own content. Drupal 10 or 11 suits complex sites with many content types, roles and permissions. Next.js with Sanity is the fastest and most secure option for teams that want a modern headless setup. We recommend one after reviewing your site, and we are happy to say if staying on Drupal is the right call.

Can Drupal 7 be upgraded straight to Drupal 11?

Not directly. Drupal 8 was a complete rewrite, so there is no in-place upgrade path from Drupal 7. Moving to Drupal 10 or 11 means building the site on current Drupal and migrating the content into it. Because it is a rebuild either way, it is a good moment to compare Drupal with WordPress or a headless option before you commit.

Is Drupal still worth using?

Yes, for the right site. Current Drupal is actively maintained and very good at complex content, permissions and large editorial teams. For a small business or nonprofit with a few editors, it is often more than you need, and WordPress or a headless setup is cheaper to run and easier to hire for.

Will we lose our Google rankings?

Not if the move is planned properly. We map every old URL to its new address with permanent redirects, carry over titles and descriptions, and check Search Console after launch. Most ranking drops after a migration come from missing redirects, which is the part we spend the most time on.

How long does a Drupal migration take?

Most take six to twelve weeks from the first review to launch. Large sites with a lot of custom functionality take longer. We agree on the schedule before we start, and your current site stays live the whole time.

Can you redesign the site at the same time?

Yes, and it often makes sense, since the templates are being rebuilt anyway. We can move the site as it looks today or redesign it during the move. The quote covers whichever you choose.
