Drupal 7 & Legacy Upgrades

Your Drupal 7 site is out of support. We move you forward.

Drupal 7 reached end of life. If you are still running it, or any aging custom system, we plan and execute upgrades to modern Drupal, Laravel, or the stack that fits your business.

Drupal 7 → 10/11

Full platform migration

Custom modules

Rewritten & tested

Content & users

Migrated with validation

Legacy apps

PHP, .NET, & more

The problem

Staying on Drupal 7 is not a long-term option

Millions of sites still run Drupal 7. The platform no longer receives security updates. Hosting providers are raising rates or refusing unsupported stacks. Every month you wait, the migration gets harder and the risk gets higher.

The same is true for other legacy systems: old PHP applications, aging intranets, custom CMS builds from a decade ago. We specialize in getting organizations off unsupported software without a risky big-bang rewrite.

Security vulnerabilities with no official patches

Broken or abandoned contrib modules

Themes that will not run on modern Drupal

Content, users, and permissions that must move cleanly

Integrations and cron jobs nobody documented

What we deliver

Drupal 7 upgrades and legacy modernization

Whether you need Drupal 10 or 11, or a move to a different platform entirely, we handle the full migration.

Drupal

Drupal 7 to Drupal 10/11

Full platform upgrade including content types, views, permissions, media, and URL aliases. Your editors keep working while we rebuild underneath.

  • Content & media migration
  • User & role mapping
  • SEO-preserving redirects
  • Module replacement strategy

Custom module & theme migration

We audit every custom module and theme, decide what to port, replace, or retire, and rewrite what does not have a modern equivalent.

  • Code audit & inventory
  • Contrib module mapping
  • Theme rebuild on modern stack
  • Automated regression tests

Legacy application modernization

Not every legacy system should land on Drupal. We also migrate aging PHP, .NET, and custom CMS builds to Laravel, headless architectures, or the right fit.

  • Stack evaluation
  • Incremental cutover
  • API & integration preservation
  • Data validation at every step

Process

How we upgrade without breaking your business

No surprise cutover weekends. A clear plan, visible progress, and a site that keeps running throughout.

1

Audit

We inventory your modules, content, integrations, and hosting. You get a written migration plan with timeline and fixed-scope options.

2

Build

We stand up the new environment, migrate content in test passes, and rewrite custom code with automated tests behind it.

3

Validate

Stakeholders review on staging. We run accessibility, performance, and security checks before anything touches production.

4

Launch

Cutover with redirect maps, DNS coordination, and post-launch monitoring. We stay on through the first weeks after go-live.

FAQ

Common upgrade questions

How long does a Drupal 7 upgrade take?

Most Drupal 7 sites take 3 to 6 months depending on custom code, content volume, and integrations. We scope it precisely after the audit so you know before we start.

Can we stay live during the migration?

Yes. We build and test on a parallel environment. Production stays on Drupal 7 until the new site is validated and you approve cutover.

Do we have to upgrade to Drupal 10/11?

Not always. For some organizations, Laravel or a headless CMS is a better long-term fit. We recommend the right target during discovery, not just the path of least resistance.

What about our custom modules?

We audit every custom module. Some port directly, some get replaced by contrib, and some need a rewrite. Nothing gets migrated blindly.

We are not on Drupal. Can you still help?

Yes. We modernize legacy PHP, .NET, WordPress, and proprietary CMS builds using the same incremental approach.
