Website migration

Structured Drupal migrations that preserve data integrity, minimise downtime, and deliver a stable, maintainable platform.

We handle complex website migrations with precision; ensuring data integrity, minimal downtime, and a smooth transition to a stable, maintainable Drupal platform.

A structured migration is essential when:

  • You’re upgrading from an older version of Drupal (7, 8, or 9) to Drupal 10 or 11.
  • You’re moving from another CMS (WordPress, Sitecore, Joomla, custom platforms, etc.) to Drupal.
  • You need to consolidate multiple sites into a single, maintainable codebase.
  • You’re re-platforming to take advantage of modern deployment pipelines, multilingual capability, or improved content governance.
  • You need to preserve SEO equity, user data, and structured content relationships during a rebuild.

We begin by assessing your existing site: content types, fields, taxonomies, media, and URL structures.

This ensures the migration is fully scoped before any code is written.

We define a clear schema for how existing data will map into Drupal entities—content types, paragraphs, taxonomies, and media assets.

This mapping forms the backbone of the migration plan and is version-controlled alongside the codebase.

Using Drupal’s Migrate API, we build robust migration scripts that can be run repeatedly and safely.

This allows for iterative testing and refinement throughout the build, ensuring accuracy and repeatability.

We handle data cleaning, normalisation, and transformation during import—converting legacy structures into well-formed Drupal entities while preserving relationships and metadata.

We automate the transfer and remapping of media assets, with support for remote storage, file renaming, and deduplication.

We preserve existing URLs wherever possible, implement redirects for legacy paths, and ensure analytics tracking and metadata remain intact.

Every migration is verified using automated and manual testing to confirm field integrity, taxonomy mapping, and relational data accuracy.

You’ll receive:

  • A repeatable migration codebase using Drupal’s Migrate API.
  • A content model map documenting entity and field relationships.
  • A post-migration verification report summarising outcomes and data validation results.
  • Optional training or handover session for in-house teams.
