The upgrade process requires careful planning to ensure a smooth transition, but don’t worry, our process has this taken care of.
Assessment:
We evaluate your current website's unique structure, content, modules, and themes. Identify what needs to be updated, replaced, or rebuilt.
Backup:
We create a full backup of your Drupal 7 site, including the database and all files. This ensures you have a safety net in case anything goes wrong during the upgrade process.
Module and Theme Compatibility:
We check whether your existing modules and themes have been updated to support Drupal 10. If not, identify alternatives or plan to update them.
Content Migration:
We develop a custom strategy for migrating your content to the new version. Content types, taxonomies, and media will all be considered.
Custom Code:
If you have custom code, we review it for compatibility with Drupal 10's APIs. We may need to refactor parts of your codebase: this is our expertise.
what are my options?
Choosing the best migration option is crucial in
maximizing the value of upgrading your Drupal 7 website.
migrate only
This option would include migrating the website to Drupal 10 and keeping the site design “as is”. We would port the HTML/CSS directly without changing any styles.
Estimated duration: 2 to 4 weeks.
design refresh
This option would include refreshing the website design during the migration by creating a new style guide showing updates to basic design elements such as use of colors and fonts as well as spacing and canvas width.
Estimated duration: 4 to 6 weeks.
website redesign
To maximize the impact of the rebuild, we could include a redesign of the site as part of the migration process. If you plan to redesign your site in the future, redesigning during the migration would be your most cost effective option.
Estimated duration: 8 to 12 weeks.
