Start Your Drupal Migration

Plenty of companies will move your site to Drupal. The harder part is everything around the move: keeping your content intact, holding on to your rankings, and rebuilding the features your team relies on, all without taking the site offline. That is exactly where we focus, whether you are coming from Sitecore, SharePoint, Joomla, WordPress, or an older version of Drupal. We use AI across the process to deliver it faster and with fewer bugs, so you get more from what you invest.

A smarter way to migrate: How we use AI

Most migration work is still done entirely by hand, one record and one module at a time. We have changed that. Our engineers bring AI into the parts of a migration where it genuinely helps, and the benefit lands with you, not just with us.

Faster, clearer scoping

We start by assessing your custom modules and flagging deprecated APIs. Using AI assisted analysis rather than slow manual code reviews, we surface compatibility issues, estimate the fix effort, and hand you a clear scope, cost, and timeline far sooner.

Cleaner content mapping

We map your content types, fields and taxonomies onto Drupal and use AI to draft and double check the work, catching the small errors that usually slip through detailed, repetitive mapping. The result is content that lands correctly and fewer surprises after launch.

Fewer bugs at go live

We use AI to help write and run tests across large volumes of pages and data, catching the kind of issues that manual spot checks tend to miss.

More value from your budget

Because the routine work moves faster, our specialists spend their time on the things that actually need judgment: architecture, integrations and the awkward edge cases. You are paying for expertise, not for hours spent on work that software can handle.

To be clear, AI does not run your migration. We do. Every mapping, test result and migrated page is checked by one of our Drupal engineers before it is delivered. AI just lets us work faster and more accurately, so you get a quicker project and more value from your investment.

What is Drupal migration?

Drupal migration is moving your website from an older CMS, or an older version of Drupal, onto a current version, with everything that matters coming along with it.

What we bring across

  • Content and media
  • Users and permissions
  • Settings and configuration
  • Your existing functionality

It is more than a copy and paste, though. Along the way we restructure content, rebuild features, modernize themes and reconnect integrations.

Done right, you end up with

  • A consistent site structure
  • Better performance
  • Search rankings that hold steady
  • A site that is safer and easier to run than the one it replaced
  • An upgraded technology stack for improved efficiency

Types of Drupal migration we handle

No two migrations look the same, so we plan each one around your setup, your content and where you want to be in a few years.

Drupal version upgrades

If you are on Drupal 6, 7, 8 or 9, we move you to Drupal 10 or 11 while protecting your content, functionality and SEO. Before we start, we check every contributed and custom module for a supported way forward, so nothing stalls halfway through.

Migrating from another CMS

Coming from WordPress, Sitecore, SharePoint, Joomla, a proprietary platform, or something built internally? We map your existing content, fields and integrations onto Drupal so nothing important is lost in the move.

Multisite and large scale migrations

We bring multiple websites together onto a single Drupal platform. That makes governance simpler, cuts maintenance and infrastructure costs, and keeps branding and content consistent across everything you run.

Drupal Commerce migration

We move online stores from other ecommerce platforms, or from older Drupal Commerce setups, to the current version. Products, orders, customers and catalog structure all come across, and we improve site speed and conversion along the way.

Replatforming with a redesign

Sometimes a migration is the right moment to rethink the whole site. We can pair the move with UX and architecture work: a refreshed interface, a better information architecture, a layout that works well on mobile, and cleaner content structures.

Rescue and stabilization

If a migration has stalled or gone wrong, we step in. We sort out the data mapping, fix what broke, recover content that went missing, and get you to a stable Drupal site that works.

CMS specific migrations

WordPress to Drupal

We map your WordPress posts, pages, taxonomies, users and media into Drupal, rebuild anything that relied on plugins as proper Drupal modules, and keep your URL structure intact with redirects so your rankings hold.

For more on how the two platforms differ and what factors should you evaluate, see our Drupal vs WordPress comparison.

Sitecore to Drupal

We migrate enterprise Sitecore sites by working through your content tree and templates, mapping them onto Drupal content types and fields, and exporting the data through an API into a structured format before import. You get lower licensing costs, better performance and accessibility, and full editorial control on open source Drupal.

SharePoint to Drupal

We pull SharePoint content and document libraries out through a web API, convert them into structured formats such as CSV or JSON, and import them into a clean Drupal setup built for either a public site or an intranet.

Joomla to Drupal

We move Joomla articles, categories, users and media into Drupal's content model, rebuild your extensions as Drupal modules, and protect your SEO.

Curious how the platforms stack up? Our Drupal vs Joomla comparison breaks down the key differences.

Legacy and custom systems to Drupal

For proprietary, homegrown or hard to move platforms, we work out how the existing data is structured and build a custom migration path with Drupal's Migrate API, so your content and history arrive intact.

Migrate without going offline.

Taking your site down for a migration usually is not an option. We build it in a separate staged environment, validate as we go, and switch over only once everything has passed QA, keeping your live site running the whole time and the ability to roll straight back if anything looks off.

Migrate without going offline

Our Drupal migration process, start to finish

A full project usually moves through nine stages.

01

Discovery and assessment

We get a complete picture of your current site: content structures, modules, custom code, integrations and hosting. AI helps us analyze the code quickly and flag deprecated pieces early, so the scope is clear from the start.

02

Content audit and information architecture

We review pages, media, taxonomies and document libraries, clear out anything outdated or redundant, and design a cleaner structure that is easier to navigate and maintain.

03

Strategy and roadmap

We set the approach, timelines, dependencies and milestones for the whole project, so everyone knows what happens when.

04

Data and configuration migration

Content, media, users, taxonomies and settings move across using Drupal's Migrate API, which keeps data relationships and integrity intact.

05

Rebuilding features and integrations

We rebuild functionality with current Drupal modules or custom code, and reconnect the systems you depend on: CRM, analytics, marketing automation and third party APIs.

06

Theme and front end work

We rebuild the theme to current standards: responsive, accessible and quick to load across devices.

07

SEO and redirects

We preserve URLs, metadata, structured data and internal links, and put redirects in place so you do not lose rankings or end up with broken links.

08

Testing, QA and launch

We test functionality, performance, security and content thoroughly before go live. AI helps us run tests across large volumes of content, which catches problems a manual pass would likely miss.

09

Support after launch

We stay on to resolve any teething issues, tune performance, and make improvements based on real analytics and feedback.

What a Drupal migration costs, and how long it takes

There is no single price, because no two migrations are alike. As a rough guide, a version upgrade such as Drupal 9 to 10 can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. A move from another CMS, or a large site with heavy customization, can run from several weeks to a few months.

What pushes the number up or down

  • How many custom and contributed modules are involved, and whether they have supported upgrade paths
  • How much content you have, and how complicated it is
  • The integrations that need rebuilding, such as CRM, analytics and marketing tools
  • whether you are redesigning at the same time
  • The platform you are coming from, since a Drupal upgrade is quicker than a full CMS switch

Because we use AI to handle the routine work, more of your budget goes toward the expertise that actually moves a project forward: the architecture, the integrations and the edge cases. After a short discovery assessment, we give you a fixed estimate of cost and timeline, so there are no surprises once the work starts.

A migration touches your content, your integrations, your search visibility and your day to day operations. Getting it wrong is expensive. Here is what you get with us.

01

Certified Drupal specialists

Your migration is run by Acquia certified Drupal developers, so the work follows Drupal's own standards from day one.

02

Ten years on Drupal

We have spent more than a decade moving complex enterprise and legacy sites across Drupal 6 through 11.

03

AI assisted delivery

We use AI for the repetitive parts of the work, which means faster timelines and fewer bugs, and frees our engineers to focus on the decisions that matter.

04

A process we trust

Every project follows the same nine stages, from discovery to support after launch, so nothing slips through the cracks.

05

Your rankings stay safe

We preserve URLs, metadata, redirects and internal links, and run the migration so your site stays live and your traffic holds.

06

Built for the hard cases

Large content volumes, custom modules and proprietary legacy systems are where we do our best work.

07

Integrations done right

We rebuild your CRM, analytics, marketing and API connections as part of the migration, not as something tacked on afterward.

08

A real cost advantage

Our onshore and offshore model delivers enterprise grade Drupal work for less than an in-house or local team would cost, with no compromise on quality.

09

Clear communication

You get a roadmap, milestones and regular updates, so your stakeholders always know where things stand.

What you gain by moving to modern Drupal

A migration done well does more than update your version number. It gives you a stronger base to build on.

01

Better security and compliance

Current Drupal gets active security patches and meets modern compliance needs that older, unsupported versions cannot.

02

Faster, more scalable sites

Improved caching and rendering let your site handle traffic spikes and load quickly.

03

Less technical debt

Swapping deprecated modules and aging custom code for supported equivalents lowers what you spend on maintenance over time.

04

SEO that carries over

A careful migration preserves URLs, metadata and structured data, so your rankings and traffic come with you.

05

A better experience for your editors

Modern content modeling, media handling and workflows make day to day publishing quicker.

06

Room to grow

A current Drupal foundation makes future upgrades an evolution rather than another full rebuild.

When it is time to migrate to the latest Drupal

A few situations that usually mean a migration is overdue:

Your Drupal version is no longer supported

Once a version reaches the end of its life, security fixes stop and risk climbs.

Security or compliance is becoming a problem

Older systems struggle to keep up with current standards.

Your current CMS is holding you back

Proprietary or dated platforms limit how much you can customize and integrate.

The site is slow or hard to scale

Aging systems often mean sluggish load times and clumsy content management.

You need to connect more systems

Modern Drupal makes it far easier to plug in CRM, marketing, analytics and other tools.

Your team needs more from the CMS

Newer Drupal offers flexible content modeling, smoother workflows and more personalized experiences.

Frequently asked
questions

What is Drupal migration?

It is the process of moving a website from an older CMS or older Drupal version onto a current version of Drupal, bringing your content, users, media, settings and functionality with it, while keeping your structure, performance and search visibility intact.

How long does a migration take?

A straightforward version upgrade can take a few days to a couple of weeks. A move from another CMS, or a large site with lots of custom work, can take several weeks to a few months, depending on content volume and scope.

What does it cost?

It depends on your content volume, the number of custom and contributed modules, how much integration work is involved, and whether you are redesigning at the same time. After a short discovery assessment, we give you a fixed estimate.

Do you actually use AI in your migrations, or is that just marketing?

Fair question. We use AI for specific tasks where it earns its place: analyzing custom modules, drafting content mappings, and generating tests across large data sets. It speeds up the routine work and helps us catch issues earlier. The judgment calls, the architecture and the final review stay with our Drupal engineers. The result for you is a faster, cleaner migration with more value for your investment.

Which companies handle enterprise migrations from legacy CMS platforms?

This is our core focus. We are Acquia certified developers, have over ten years of Drupal experience, and regularly migrate from Sitecore, SharePoint, Joomla, WordPress and custom systems, with zero downtime and no data loss.

How do you migrate a large site without taking it offline?

We run the migration in a staged environment and move content and configuration across in stages, validating as we go. The live site keeps running, and we only switch over after full QA, with the ability to roll back if needed.

Will my SEO rankings drop during the move?

They should not, if the migration is planned properly. We preserve URLs where we can, set up redirects, keep metadata in place, and check the technical SEO before and after launch.

Can I keep my current design?

Yes. We can rebuild your existing design as a Drupal theme, or use the migration as a chance to modernize the look and the underlying structure, whichever you prefer.

What happens to my custom modules and integrations?

We review each one and either rebuild it to current Drupal standards or replace it with a supported module. Integrations with your CRM, third party systems, analytics and marketing tools are reconnected so everything works as it should on the new site.
