Every kind of Drupal work, from one American team.

Architecture, site building, migrations, upgrades, scaling, security and content at the scale of millions of pages. Building with Drupal since 2007, from Drupal 6 to Drupal 11. Each engagement starts with a read-only assessment and ends with evidence.

Architecture

Drupal site architecture and solutions

The decisions that are expensive to change later: the content model, how the site scales, where it runs and how it connects to everything else. We design them on purpose, from the content model up.

Content modelling

Content types, fields, paragraphs, media and taxonomy designed around how editors work and how the content will be reused, searched and syndicated.

Platform design

Single site, multisite or a site factory; Drupal on AWS, on Acquia Cloud or on-premises; CDN, caching layers, search and auto-scaling sized for real traffic.

Integration design

CRM, marketing automation, single sign-on, payment, search and data warehouses, connected through clean, documented APIs instead of one-off glue.

Architecture

Architected for millions. Built to last.

Site building

New Drupal 11 sites, built to last

From a focused marketing site to a large editorial platform: built with recipes and configuration in git, so the whole site can be rebuilt from the repository on any day.

What we build

  • Custom themes in Twig with fast, accessible front ends
  • Custom modules where contributed modules stop
  • Views, editorial workflows, roles and permissions
  • Webforms, Drupal Commerce and secure payments
  • Multilingual sites and SEO built in from day one

How we build it

  • Composer-managed core and contrib, pinned in a lock file
  • Configuration exported to git, deployed with drush cim
  • Automated installs and repeatable builds with Drush
  • Tests on real devices before every release
Migrations

Move to Drupal from any platform

Content, users, files, URLs and search rankings move together. We build the migration as repeatable code (a migration factory), rehearse it on copies of your data, and cut over only when the numbers match.

  • SharePoint to Drupal
  • WordPress to Drupal
  • Wix to Drupal
  • Adobe Experience Manager to Drupal
  • Magento / Adobe Commerce to Drupal
  • Joomla to Drupal
  • Drupal 6 and 7 to Drupal 11
  • Static and legacy CMS sites to Drupal

Map

Every source content type, field, user role and URL pattern mapped to the new Drupal model, with nothing left implicit.

Migrate

Drupal Migrate API pipelines that can run again and again, with counts and spot checks after every run.

Redirect

Old URLs redirected one by one, so links, bookmarks and search rankings survive the move.

Migrations

Every road leads to Drupal.

Upgrade

Drupal 11 upgrades

For Composer-managed sites on Drupal 8.9, 9 or 10, and for Drupal 11 sites that have fallen behind on security releases.

What you get

  • Core and contributed modules upgraded to the current Drupal 11 release
  • Deprecated APIs in your custom code found and listed before any work starts
  • The upgrade rehearsed on a copy rebuilt from your backup
  • composer audit clean at handover, or each remaining item explained
  • A tested rollback, and a support window after go-live

Not included (we say so up front)

  • A visual redesign (that is a site-building project)
  • Moving hosting platforms or database engines (that is a migration)

If your site needs something else first, we tell you.

Rescue

Drupal 7 rescue

Drupal 7 stopped receiving community security support in January 2025. A Drupal 7 site still online today runs on code nobody patches by default. You have three honest options, and we help you pick one.

Migrate to Drupal 11

For sites that are still edited every week. Content, users, files and URLs move to a fresh Drupal 11 build; the old site stays read-only until you sign off.

Go static

For sites that rarely change. We turn the site into fast static pages that keep the old URLs. There is no PHP and no database left to attack.

Archive and retire

For sites whose job is done. We take a verified archive of code, database and files, redirect the domain, and shut the old server down cleanly.

This site is its own case study. drupaldeveloper.us ran on Drupal 7 from 2014. In 2026 we rebuilt it on Drupal 11 from its last backup: the old copy was read for content only, and no Drupal 7 code went back online.

Drupal 7 rescue

Drupal 7 is retired. Your content is not.

Enterprise scale

Enterprise Drupal performance and content scaling

Drupal can serve the biggest audiences on the web when the architecture is right. Our experience includes Drupal built for billions of page views and for live events of more than 100 million page views an hour.

Performance engineering

Page, render and dynamic caching tuned together with the CDN, Varnish and search caches; slow queries and heavy Views found and fixed with measurements, not guesses.

Auto-scaling

Drupal on AWS that grows and shrinks with traffic: load balancing, shared files, database replicas and repeatable infrastructure as code.

Traffic events

Launches, breaking news and live sport planned for in advance: load tests, warm caches and a runbook for the day.

Enterprise scale

Billions of page views. Zero drama.

Taxonomy & AI

Content classification, taxonomy and data for AI

When a site has millions of pages and files, findability is a data problem. We design taxonomies, classify content at scale and organize it so search engines, people and AI systems can all use it.

Taxonomy design

Vocabularies, hierarchies and tagging rules built with your editors, then applied consistently across millions of pages, documents and media files.

Automated classification

Natural-language processing and machine learning that tag and categorize content automatically, with human review where it matters. Our team holds patents in AI news analysis.

Drupal as the data layer for AI

Structured, well-tagged Drupal content exposed through JSON:API, ready for search, recommendations, chat assistants and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

Data for AI

Millions of pages, perfectly organized.

APIs & headless

Drupal APIs, headless and content syndication

Drupal as the content hub behind websites, apps and partner channels: one source of truth, many front ends.

JSON:API and REST

Content-type APIs designed for the consumers that will use them, with versioning, caching and access control.

Headless or progressively decoupled

React, Vue or Angular front ends on a Drupal back end, or decoupled only where it pays off. We explain the trade-offs before you commit.

Content syndication

Content shared and kept in sync across many Drupal sites, brands and languages, from one editorial team.

Security

Security hardening

Most Drupal compromises do not need a clever exploit. They need an unpatched release or a file that should never have been public. We check both, from the inside and from the outside.

We check

  • Core and contrib security advisories, with composer audit
  • Backup copies of settings files, dumps and scaffold files reachable from the web
  • Roles, permissions and admin accounts
  • Web server rules, rate limits, TLS and security headers
  • PCI-relevant setup for sites that take payments

You get

  • A ranked list of findings, with the evidence for each one
  • The fixes, applied the same way as any other release
  • Credentials rotated wherever one may have been exposed
  • A re-check from outside that shows each fix is live
Government

Government and regulated Drupal

Drupal runs a large share of government websites. We work on Drupal in regulated environments, including a current federal program migrating from SharePoint to Drupal on AWS GovCloud.

AWS GovCloud

Drupal designed and operated for GovCloud regions and FedRAMP-aligned environments.

Hardening baselines

Servers and containers hardened to DISA STIG and CIS Benchmarks, with the scan evidence to show it.

Repeatable migration

A reusable migration factory that moves document libraries and pages from SharePoint into structured Drupal content.

Made in USA

Built for the institutions that power America.

DevOps

Production that matches git

On many sites, the code in production is not the code in the repository. The next deploy from git quietly downgrades the site. We fix that, and we automate the way releases happen.

  1. Measure the drift. We compare the running code, lock file and configuration with the repository.
  2. Reconcile. What is really live goes back into git, reviewed, so git is the truth again.
  3. Automate. CI/CD pipelines, configuration management and Drush scripts make every release the same.
  4. Deploy by hash. Releases ship from git, checked against a manifest, with a tested rollback.

Patch care

Patched, monitored and current. Every release.

Ongoing

Patch care, support and training

After the project, we can keep the site current: security releases applied and verified as they ship, regular audits, performance reviews and a team that knows your site.

  • Patch care: core and contrib security releases applied, tested and rolled out
  • Audits: code, configuration, performance and accessibility reviews with ranked findings
  • Training: for editors, site builders and developers, remote

Prices depend on the site. Tell us what you run and we will send a fixed quote.
