How does the Drupal 7 to Drupal 10/11 migration work?

We audit your existing Drupal 7 site, map content types and fields to the new architecture, migrate all content programmatically using Drupal Migrate API, rebuild the theme, and test thoroughly on staging before cutting over. The process preserves your URLs, SEO rankings, and content history.

Will I lose my SEO rankings during a migration?

No. We set up 301 redirects for every URL, preserve meta tags and structured data, submit updated sitemaps, and monitor search console for issues post-launch. Most clients see improved rankings after migration due to better performance and modern markup.

Can you migrate from WordPress to Drupal or vice versa?

Yes. We handle cross-platform migrations in both directions. We map your content model, migrate all posts, pages, media, users, and taxonomy, then rebuild the front-end on the target platform. Custom functionality is re-implemented using the native tools of the new CMS.

How long does a migration typically take?

A straightforward Drupal 7 to Drupal 10/11 migration takes 6-10 weeks. Complex migrations with custom modules, large content volumes, or platform changes can take 10-16 weeks. We always provide a detailed timeline after the initial audit.

What happens to my site during the migration?

Your existing site stays live throughout the entire process. We build the new version on a staging environment, migrate content, test everything, and only switch DNS once the new site is fully verified. There is zero downtime during cutover.
