Move Off Drupal and Onto WordPress

Drupal is powerful, but for most content and marketing sites it is more than the job needs. It is expensive to host and maintain, skilled Drupal developers are scarcer and pricier than WordPress developers, and every major version brings an upgrade that costs real money. For non-technical teams it is also simply harder to run day to day.

WordPress keeps the structure that matters, with custom post types and fields mirroring your Drupal content model, but is cheaper to run, far easier for editors, and backed by a huge talent pool. For a site you need to run and market rather than engineer, it is usually the sensible move.

Yes, and for many organisations it is the trigger. Drupal 7 reached end of life in January 2025, so it no longer receives official security updates, which means staying on it is a growing risk rather than a holding position.

That forces a decision: pay to migrate to Drupal 10 or 11, with the upgrade churn that implies, or move to WordPress and be rid of the major-version treadmill altogether. We are happy to talk through both honestly before you commit to either.

Yes. Your content model is rebuilt faithfully rather than flattened. Nodes and content types become Posts and custom post types with ACF fields, taxonomy vocabularies become WordPress taxonomies, and Views become native queries or ACF-driven templates. Media and files move into the Media Library, and users and roles carry across.

We reconcile the migrated content against the Drupal original so a site with years of history comes through complete. Where something in Drupal has no direct WordPress equivalent, we tell you how we propose to handle it rather than quietly dropping it.

That is a priority, not an afterthought. We preserve your URL aliases and put redirects in place from the old Drupal paths, so the pages search engines already know about still resolve and the authority you have built is carried over rather than lost.

Metadata, headings and internal links come across too, and moving onto a lean WordPress build often improves performance, which helps rather than hurts. In practice a carefully handled migration protects rankings rather than risking them.

Yes. Drupal has strong multilingual support, and we rebuild it in WordPress with WPML or Polylang, depending on which suits your content and budget. Translated content, language-specific URLs and the relationships between translations are carried across.

Multilingual migrations need extra care in the mapping and reconciliation, so we scope them carefully and are clear about what is involved before we start.

A straightforward content site usually takes 4 to 8 weeks from sign-off. Larger or legacy sites with a complex content model, heavy Views, multilingual content or tens of thousands of nodes typically run 8 to 14 weeks.

Volume and complexity drive the timeline more than page count does. We give you a realistic schedule with the quote and tell you early if anything is likely to move it.

Yes, entirely. The theme and any custom code we write for you are handed over with documentation, on hosting of your choice. There are no licences tying you to us and no platform lock-in, which is often part of the reason teams leave Drupal in the first place.
