Every month on Drupal 7 is a month of compounding risk

Drupal 7 reached community end of life. No more official security advisories, no module fixes, and compliance frameworks (PCI, HIPAA, ISO 27001) now flag unsupported CMS versions in audits. The longer you wait, the more expensive the exit becomes.

Security gaps pile up

Unpatched modules, known CVEs, and a PHP version that most hosts no longer support. Bot scanners find Drupal 7 sites within hours.

Fewer developers will touch it

Senior Drupal developers have moved on to Drupal 10 and 11. Finding someone to fix a Drupal 7 bug gets slower and more expensive every quarter.

SEO and performance decay

Legacy theming, no Core Web Vitals tuning, and outdated markup mean every ranking competitor that did upgrade pulls ahead of you in search.

Everything that matters. Nothing lost in translation.

A Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 upgrade is not an in place update. It is a structured migration that rebuilds your site on a new architecture. Here is what moves over and what gets rebuilt the right way.

Content and structure

Nodes, users, taxonomies, files, menus, URL aliases. All migrated through the Migrate API with validation for every content type.

Modules and custom code

We audit every contrib and custom module for Drupal 10 compatibility, replace abandoned modules, and rewrite custom code against modern APIs.

Theme and front end

Drupal 7 themes do not work on Drupal 10. We rebuild on a modern base theme (Olivero, Gin, or a custom Twig theme) with Core Web Vitals tuning baked in.

SEO preservation

URL aliases, redirects, metatags, sitemap, robots.txt. We run a pre and post migration SEO diff so you never lose a ranking URL.

Integrations

CRMs, payment gateways, mail providers, analytics, single sign on. We inventory every integration, map it to Drupal 10 equivalents, and retest end to end.

Users and permissions

User accounts, roles, and granular permissions are rebuilt with a fresh audit. Password hashing is upgraded to Drupal 10 standards during the cutover.

A five phase migration framework

Predictable, auditable, and built to protect your production site until the last possible moment.

1

Audit and scope

We map your Drupal 7 site: content types, contrib module matrix, custom module inventory, integrations, traffic, and risk hot spots. You get a written migration plan with fixed scope.

2

Build on Drupal 10

We stand up a fresh Drupal 10 codebase on staging, rebuild content types and fields, and write migration scripts using the Migrate API with full validation.

3

Test and validate

Content diff, URL parity check, integration smoke tests, accessibility audit, Core Web Vitals baseline, and structured acceptance testing with your team.

4

Cutover

Scheduled, rehearsed, and delta migrated so the final switch captures only the content that changed since staging. Targeted downtime is usually under 30 minutes.

5

Hypercare and handover

Two weeks of active monitoring, bug triage, and tuning after launch. You get complete documentation and a recorded walkthrough of the new codebase.

Optional: ongoing support

Keep the team that knows your codebase. Retainer plans for patching, performance tuning, and feature development start after launch.

Timeline and investment

Every Drupal 7 site is different, but most migrations fall into one of three buckets based on complexity. The 30 minute audit tells us which bucket you are in, with a fixed quote attached.

  • Standard site (under 500 pages, 10–15 modules): 4 to 6 weeks
  • Medium complexity (multiple content types, integrations): 8 to 12 weeks
  • Enterprise (heavy custom code, compliance requirements): 12 to 20 weeks

What is included in every migration

  • Written migration plan with fixed scope
  • Drupal 10 build on managed staging
  • Content and URL parity validation
  • SEO preservation and 301 map
  • Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) audit
  • Core Web Vitals tuning
  • Rehearsed cutover plan
  • Two weeks of post-launch hypercare

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most from teams planning a Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 migration.

Is Drupal 7 still supported?

Drupal 7 reached community end of life. There are no more official security releases from the Drupal security team, and commercial long term support is expiring. If your site is on Drupal 7 today, it is effectively unpatched infrastructure.

Can we skip Drupal 8 or 9 and go straight to Drupal 10?

Yes, and that is exactly what we recommend. Drupal 7 cannot be upgraded in place. The Migrate API can move data directly from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10, so paying for an intermediate Drupal 9 stop is wasted budget.

Will our URLs and Google rankings survive?

Yes. Every URL alias is migrated one for one, and we generate 301 redirects for anything that has to change. Before cutover we compare sitemaps and run a crawl parity report so nothing falls through the cracks.

What happens to modules that do not have a Drupal 10 version?

We identify them during the audit and propose one of three options: replace with a maintained equivalent, fold the feature into a custom module we write, or drop it if it is no longer used. The decision is yours, informed by our recommendation.

How much downtime will our site have?

Cutover is typically under 30 minutes for a delta migrated site. We rehearse it on staging so the production switch is boring. For sites that cannot tolerate any downtime, we can run a read only mode during cutover.

Can you host the migrated site too?

Yes. We offer managed Drupal hosting tuned for Drupal 10 with Varnish, Redis, and CDN out of the box. Most clients move hosting as part of the migration, though you can also keep your current host if you prefer.
