Are you still on Drupal 7?
Drupal 7 is end-of-life (EOL).
Security support ended on 5 January 2025.
Drupal 7 upgrade service for secure, controlled Drupal 10/11 migration.
Upgrade to Drupal 10/11 with a controlled, staging-first migration - repeatable runs, validated data, and a maintainable codebase.
Upgrade readiness snapshot
A high-level view of what typically changes
Modules
Audit, replace, or port to modern APIs.
Content model
Mapped types, fields, taxonomy, and users.
Integrations
Validate APIs, auth, webhooks, and data contracts.
Launch
SEO redirects, QA, and a clear handover plan.
What changes after EOL
Security support ends, infrastructure moves forward, and the cost of staying on Drupal 7 climbs quickly.
Security and compliance exposure
Higher risk profile without official security support and fewer mitigation options during audits.
Compatibility breakage
Hosting, PHP, and library updates increasingly break older stacks and create downtime risk.
Hidden operational cost
Firefighting and brittle dependencies grow over time, pulling focus from real roadmap work.
Vendor constraints
Partners and tools stop supporting legacy stacks, limiting integrations and forcing compromises.
Why upgrade now?
A Drupal 7 upgrade service prevents forced emergencies.
After EOL, timing is often forced by external pressure: server upgrades, PHP and library compatibility, audits, or incidents. A planned upgrade gives you control, predictable delivery, and a lower total cost than reactive firefighting.
Stabilize your timeline and avoid surprise outages triggered by infrastructure or security shifts.
Control scope and cost with a clear migration blueprint and staged delivery plan.
Ship a maintainable, Composer-ready Drupal 10/11 foundation you can build on.
Drupal 7 upgrade service includes migration plus rebuild
Modern Drupal has a different architecture, configuration model, and theming layer. Modules and themes rarely move as-is, and data needs a careful mapping.
Drupal 7 was built before Composer-first workflows and modern configuration management. Drupal 10/11 introduces a different module API, Twig-based theming, and a configuration-driven approach that changes how features are built and deployed.
Content migration requires mapping content types, fields, taxonomy, users, files, permissions, and workflows. The goal is repeatable, validated migrations that can be run in staging until data quality is verified.
Integrations and APIs must be validated: authentication flows, endpoints, webhooks, and data contracts often change or need refactoring.
What we typically assess
- Module inventory, deprecations, and replacements.
- Content model mapping and data volume complexity.
- Theme rebuild scope and accessibility requirements.
- Integrations, SSO, and API dependencies.
How the upgrade works
A staged, risk-managed approach that keeps critical content and integrations intact.
Step 1
Audit and scope
Modules, custom code, theme, content model, and integrations.
Step 2
Migration blueprint
Mapping, risk list, and delivery timeline.
Step 3
Drupal 10/11 foundation
Composer setup, config management, environments.
Step 4
Migrate and rebuild
Migrate API runs, theme adaptation, module porting.
Step 5
QA and go-live prep
Critical journeys, redirects, SEO, launch checklist.

FAQ
Straight answers to the most common upgrade questions.
Can you upgrade directly to Drupal 11? +
Yes. We target Drupal 10 or 11 depending on your timeline and module ecosystem, and validate compatibility during the audit.
How do you avoid data loss? +
We build repeatable migrations, test them in staging, and validate content counts and critical data before go-live.
What about custom modules? +
Custom modules are reviewed for rebuild, refactor, or replacement. We document the path and estimate effort during the blueprint phase.
Will SEO be affected? +
We plan redirects, validate metadata, and test critical pages so search visibility is protected during launch.
Do you support post-launch maintenance? +
Yes. We can provide a maintenance plan or hand over to your internal team with full documentation.
What do you need from us to start? +
Access to the Drupal 7 codebase, a module list, hosting details, and a summary of integrations and business priorities.
