Migration to Drupal

Why Migration Matters Now

Your current platform might have served you well for years, but web technology moves fast. Legacy systems become harder to maintain, security patches stop coming, and modern features remain out of reach. Whether you're running WordPress, Joomla, a proprietary CMS, or a custom-built system, the right time to migrate is before you're forced to.

Drupal offers enterprise-grade security, powerful content modeling, and the flexibility to grow with your organization. But getting there requires careful planning and execution—which is exactly what we do.

Our Migration Process

Every migration is different, but our approach is consistent:

• Content audit and mapping — We analyze your existing content structure and map it to an optimized Drupal architecture. Our AI-assisted tools help identify patterns, flag inconsistencies, and suggest improvements that would take weeks to spot manually.
• Automated data cleaning — Legacy systems accumulate cruft: orphaned files, broken links, malformed markup. We use intelligent automation to clean and normalize your data before migration, not after.
• Test migration environment — We build and test the migration in a staging environment first. You see exactly what's moving over and how it will look before anything touches production.
• Iterative refinement — Migrations rarely work perfectly on the first pass. We run multiple test migrations, refining the process until everything is right.
• Production cutover — When it's time to go live, we've already done this migration several times. We know exactly what to expect.
• Post-launch validation — We verify that content, redirects, and SEO elements landed correctly. Our AI tools scan for broken links, missing images, and structural issues across your entire site.

What Gets Migrated (and What Gets Better)

We migrate everything that matters:

• All your content—pages, posts, custom content types
• Media files—images, documents, videos
• User accounts and roles
• Taxonomies and metadata
• URL structure (with proper 301 redirects to preserve SEO)

But migration isn't just about moving data—it's an opportunity to improve:

• Content structure optimization — AI analysis helps us identify opportunities to improve your content model, making it easier to manage and extend.
• SEO preservation and enhancement — We maintain your search rankings while implementing modern SEO best practices.
• Accessibility upgrades — Migration is the perfect time to fix accessibility issues and meet WCAG standards.
• Performance improvements — Modern Drupal is fast. Your migrated site will likely outperform the old one.

Beyond the Technical Migration

Moving content from Point A to Point B is the easy part. The harder work is making sure your team is ready:

• Editorial workflow design — We help you build content workflows that match how your team actually works.
• Training and documentation — We don't just hand you the keys. We make sure your team knows how to use their new system.
• Ongoing support — Migrations surface questions weeks or months later. We're here when you need us.

Migrations We've Handled

We've migrated everything from small organizational sites to large-scale government and nonprofit platforms. Our experience includes:

• WordPress to Drupal (sites ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of pages)
• Legacy Drupal versions to modern Drupal
• Custom CMS platforms to Drupal
• Joomla and other open-source CMSs to Drupal
• Proprietary enterprise systems to Drupal

Every migration teaches us something new. We bring that accumulated knowledge to your project.
