Drupal migration services and upgrades, of any size.
DevAtWork provides Drupal migration services and Drupal upgrade services: from Drupal 7 to Drupal 11, between Drupal versions and from other platforms to Drupal, without losing content, URLs or rankings. We use proven tools and tested modules to move your data, users and database quickly and safely.
Drupal upgrade and migration services, end to end.
Our team handles data changes, site and content migrations of any size and complexity. Our Drupal experts take care of core and module updates and flexible deployment of your website's database, following current best practices. Alongside migrations, we provide complete Drupal development, performance optimisation, customisation, theming, training and support.
Building a website is one thing; keeping it up, running and easy to access for new and existing customers is another. We use a wide range of techniques, tools and experience to set up your site and keep it running, with customisations and updates that help your business keep up with the digital industry.
Upgrading is also the moment to make your site faster. Nothing frustrates users like a slow website: even a short delay makes visitors think twice, hurts customer retention and lowers your rankings in search engines. To keep up with competitors, your website needs to be in top shape at all times, and our team makes the changes needed to get it there.
Organisations merge, pooling resources to give customers a more streamlined experience. Combining two different systems can be difficult for an inexperienced team. We manage a seamless Drupal migration and upgrade your site to current standards, with the latest updates for better security and data protection.
Drupal 7 migration after end of support.
Drupal 7 reached end of life on 5 January 2025. It no longer receives official security updates, so every new vulnerability stays open on a Drupal 7 site.
Moving from Drupal 7 is a migration, not an update. Your content, users, media and URLs are moved into a newly built Drupal 11 site, and the theme and custom modules are rebuilt for the current platform. We start with an audit, map every content type and field, and set up 301 redirects so your search rankings carry over.
If your Drupal 7 site is still live, it can stay online during the project. We migrate to a new site in parallel, test it on staging and switch over when it is ready.
Upgrade Drupal 10 to 11 before 9 December 2026.
Drupal 10 reaches end of life on 9 December 2026. Unlike a Drupal 7 migration, an upgrade from Drupal 10 to 11 is done in place: content, users and configuration stay in the same database and only the code is updated.
Our Drupal upgrade services cover the full process: Upgrade Status scan, contributed module updates, fixes for deprecated custom code, PHP 8.3 on the server, testing on staging and a safe release. For the timeline and a step-by-step plan, read our guide to the Drupal 10 end of life.
Website migration to Drupal from other platforms.
We also migrate websites to Drupal from other content management systems and custom platforms, and combine two websites or systems into one Drupal site, for example after a merger.
A website migration to Drupal follows the same safe process: content mapping, automated and tested imports, redirects for every old URL and a check of metadata and search performance after launch.

Drupal Migration & Upgrades FAQ.
Common questions about Drupal migrations and upgrades.
01How long does a Drupal 7 to Drupal 10/11 migration take?
It depends on the size and complexity of your website. Most migrations take between 4 and 12 weeks; after an audit we give you a written plan and timeline.
02Will I lose content or SEO rankings during a Drupal migration?
No. We migrate content, users and media with tested scripts, keep your URLs where possible and set up 301 redirects and metadata so your search rankings are preserved.
03What is the difference between a Drupal upgrade and a migration?
Upgrades between modern versions (for example Drupal 10 to 11) update code and modules on the same platform. Moving from Drupal 7 is a migration: content is moved into a newly built Drupal site.
04Can you migrate a website from another CMS to Drupal?
Yes. We migrate content from other platforms and can combine two websites or systems into one Drupal site, for example after a merger.
05Can you make our Drupal website faster?
Yes. We optimise caching, front-end assets and hosting to improve Google PageSpeed scores, Core Web Vitals and load times.
06How much does a Drupal migration cost?
It depends on the size of the site, the number of content types, contributed and custom modules, and integrations. After an audit we send a written estimate, as a fixed price for a defined scope or on a time and materials basis.
07Can you migrate a Drupal 7 site that is still live?
Yes. Your Drupal 7 site stays online while we build and test the new Drupal 11 site in parallel. We switch over when it is ready, with redirects in place.
08Do you offer Drupal 10 to 11 upgrade services?
Yes. We scan your site with Upgrade Status, update modules, fix deprecated code, prepare the server for PHP 8.3, test on staging and release the upgrade, ideally well before Drupal 10 end of life on 9 December 2026.
