What We Migrate
Enterprise Drupal Migration Services
Version upgrades, platform moves, and content migrations at scale, delivered with a method that protects what you've already built.
Drupal 7 End-of-Life Migration
Drupal 7 no longer receives security support. We move you to Drupal 10/11 with content, users, and SEO intact.
Drupal 10 to 11 Upgrades
Clean, low-risk upgrades to Drupal 11 that keep you current, supported, and ready for what's next.
Drupal 8 and 9 Upgrades
Both versions are past end of life. We bring legacy Drupal 8/9 platforms to a supported release without a rebuild-from-scratch.
Migration From Other Platforms
WordPress, Sitefinity/.NET, SharePoint, or custom CMS to Drupal. We've done them all, content and structure preserved.
Content Migration at Scale
Structured migration of large content sets, taxonomies, media, and users, validated with trial runs before cutover.
SEO & URL Preservation
Full 301 redirect mapping, metadata carry-over, and URL preservation so search rankings survive the move.
Performance Rebuild
Migration is the right moment to fix architecture: caching, media handling, and page speed engineered into the new platform.
AI Readiness & Discoverability
Become AI-discoverable while you migrate: llms.txt, structured data (JSON-LD), and content that AI assistants can find, cite, and recommend.
Post-Migration Support & SLA
Hypercare after launch, then SLA-backed support with guaranteed response times and 24/7 monitoring.

Before You Ask
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you migrate a Drupal site without losing SEO?
SEO preservation is engineered into the method, not bolted on: full 301 redirect mapping, URL preservation, and metadata carry-over, all validated before cutover. When we migrated Al Bawaba, over 850,000 Google-indexed articles were on the line, and rankings held. The redirect map is part of the validation sign-off you see before launch.
We're still on Drupal 7. How urgent is this really?
Drupal 7 reached official end of life in January 2025, which means no more security coverage from the Drupal community. Every month on an unsupported version compounds the risk, and migrations get harder, not easier, as the gap widens. The free assessment quantifies your specific exposure and gives you a scope, risk, and effort estimate, so the decision is based on facts rather than pressure.
How long does a Drupal migration take?
It depends on content volume, custom code, and integrations, which is exactly what the assessment measures. What we can promise is how the timeline stays honest: an early trial migration on your real content validates the plan before you commit, so the estimate you get is based on evidence, not optimism.
Will our site go down during the migration?
No. Your new platform is built in parallel while your current site keeps running. Cutover happens in a low-traffic window with a tested rollback plan standing by, so if anything unexpected appears, we can revert without your visitors noticing.
Can you migrate from WordPress, Sitefinity, or SharePoint?
Yes. Alongside Drupal version upgrades, we've delivered migrations from WordPress, Sitefinity/.NET, SharePoint, and custom CMS platforms into Drupal, preserving content, structure, and SEO. States Newsroom's national platform, for example, pulls content from over 25 WordPress affiliate sites into Drupal, with 100,000+ articles migrated to date.
What happens after the migration launches?
A post-launch hypercare period, then SLA-backed support if you want it: 1-hour response on urgent issues, backed by a tiered SLA and 24/7 monitoring. Migration is also the ideal moment to become AI-discoverable, so your improvement roadmap can include llms.txt, structured data, and content AI assistants can find and cite.
Who owns the code after the migration?
You do. Everything is built on open-source Drupal, and 100% of custom code, content, and configuration is yours. If you ever move on, we hand over the full source unencrypted and unminified, with documentation and knowledge transfer. No vendor lock-in.
