FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Drupal development.

Answers to common questions about Drupal development, migration, upgrades and support.

How much does a Drupal project cost?

It depends on content complexity, integrations, design scope and migration volume. We give a fixed or ranged estimate after a short discovery, so you know the scope before committing.

How long does it take to build a Drupal site?

A focused marketing or editorial site is usually a matter of weeks. Multi-site platforms, portals and projects with heavy integrations or large migrations take longer.

Should we migrate from Drupal 7?

Yes. Drupal 7 has reached end of life, so core and most modules no longer receive community security fixes. Moving to Drupal 10 or 11 is a migration to a new codebase using the Migrate API.

Which Drupal version should we use?

Drupal 10 or Drupal 11. Drupal 8 and 9 are also end of life. We check module and theme compatibility to recommend the target that gives you the longest support runway.

Can you migrate our WordPress site to Drupal?

Yes. We map posts, pages, media, taxonomies, authors and URLs into Drupal content types and set up redirects so search traffic carries over.

Do you offer Drupal support and maintenance?

Yes. Plans cover security updates for core and contributed modules, Composer upgrades tested on staging, monitoring, backups and small fixes.

How can we make our Drupal site faster?

Profile first. Common wins are fixing cache metadata in custom code, reworking heavy Views, adding database indexes, using Redis for caches, and putting Varnish or a CDN in front.

Do you build headless or decoupled Drupal?

Yes, using core JSON:API or GraphQL with React, Vue or Next.js. We also tell you when a traditional Drupal front end is the simpler choice.

Is Drupal good for SEO?

Yes. Drupal supports clean URL aliases, metadata, XML sitemaps, canonical URLs and structured data through well-maintained modules, and its structured content helps with consistent markup.

How do we choose between Drupal and WordPress?

Choose Drupal for structured content, granular permissions, editorial workflow and multilingual needs. WordPress can suit simpler sites that value speed to launch and plugin variety.
