Drupal migration
Keep the Structure. Rethink the Stack.
Inventory entities, taxonomies, permissions and custom modules. Plan relationship-preserving content transforms and test editorial workflows alongside the public frontend.
Where Drupal sites get stuck
Major-version jumps
Moving between major Drupal versions can feel like a migration in its own right, especially with custom modules and themes involved.
Module sprawl
Contributed and custom modules accumulate over time, each adding update and compatibility responsibilities.
Hard-to-staff stack
Drupal theming and module development is specialised work, which can make small front-end changes slow and costly.
Who this is for
Drupal Migration: what we migrate.
For Drupal 7, 8, 9 or 10 sites with rich content types, vocabularies and Views that need a front end teams can change quickly.
Planning changes to aliases, multilingual routes or a large content archive? Review our approach to seo-safe migration.
Scope 01
Entity export
Nodes, taxonomy terms, paragraphs, media entities and users are exported through JSON:API, Migrate or direct database queries with relationships intact.
Scope 02
Views rebuild
Each View is documented by filters, sorts and display, then rebuilt as a static or server-rendered listing.
Scope 03
Path alias capture
Pathauto patterns and manual aliases are captured, including historical redirects from the Redirect module.
Scope 04
Webform rebuild
Webforms are recreated with their fields, conditional logic and handlers routed to supported destinations.

Migration process
How a Drupal migration runs.
- 1
Inventory
We crawl and catalogue your Drupal pages, templates, media, forms and integrations so nothing is left to memory.
- 2
Map
Every existing URL is paired with its new destination, metadata and redirect rule before a single component is built.
- 3
Rebuild
Your design and content are recreated as typed React components on a modern framework, with an editing workflow that suits your team.
- 4
Verify
Forms, redirects, responsive layouts, metadata and analytics are checked against the original inventory.
- 5
Launch
We coordinate DNS, hosting and post-launch monitoring with you, on a schedule agreed after project review.
Migration considerations
What we plan for before building.
Drupal 7 end of life
Drupal 7 sites face the largest jump. Moving the front end and content in one project can avoid a two-step upgrade.
Granular permissions
Complex editorial roles and workflows are reviewed so the replacement CMS supports equivalent approvals.
Multilingual content
Translation sets are preserved and mapped to locale routes with hreflang annotations.
Deliverables
- Content type and field inventory
- Views specification and rebuilt listings
- Alias and redirect map
- Paragraphs-to-component mapping
- Scripted, repeatable import
- Headless or replatform recommendation
Not promised
- Rebuilding unused modules
- Promising content volume limits before review

A migration plan built around your website
Inventory entities, taxonomies, permissions and custom modules. Plan relationship-preserving content transforms and test editorial workflows alongside the public frontend.
Analyze, plan, rebuild, verify, launch
We review publicly visible signals first, then confirm content, design and functionality requirements with you. We inventory URLs, map integrations and agree acceptance criteria before rebuilding. Verification covers responsive layouts, important journeys, forms, redirects and SEO essentials. Launch is coordinated with the people responsible for hosting and domain access.
What we aim to preserve
Your branding, useful content, media, important URL paths and business-critical functionality are reviewed individually. Not every plugin or feature has a direct equivalent. We explain what can be recreated, what should change and which third-party services need separate configuration.
Clear expectations
Discovery determines scope, pricing and timing. We do not promise guaranteed rankings, automatic performance gains or a completion date before review. Ongoing maintenance and security responsibilities remain part of the plan.
