Drupal 7 has officially reached end-of-life, meaning no security updates, no community support, and increasing operational risk. Continuing to run Drupal 7 exposes organizations to compliance issues, security vulnerabilities, and technical debt that compounds over time.
Our Drupal 7 Migration Services provide a structured, secure, and business-focused upgrade path to Drupal 11/12. We do not simply “upgrade code” — we modernize architecture, improve performance, and future-proof your digital platform.
Drupal 7 no longer receives security updates. This creates exposure to vulnerabilities, audit failures, and increasing maintenance costs. Many hosting providers and enterprise security teams now classify unsupported CMS platforms as high-risk.
Beyond security concerns, Drupal 7 architecture limits performance, scalability, and integration capabilities. Modern marketing stacks, headless architectures, and advanced personalization are difficult or costly to implement on legacy foundations.
The longer migration is postponed, the more expensive and complex it becomes.
Full technical audit of modules, custom code, integrations, and content structure.
We evaluate whether direct upgrade or full re-architecture delivers better long-term value.
Automated, tested content migration with validation and rollback options.
Legacy PHP modules are rewritten to align with modern Drupal standards.
Modern caching, infrastructure tuning, and security best practices implemented.
Staged deployment, QA validation, and post-launch monitoring.
Drupal 7 Migration replaces unsupported legacy architecture with a modern, structured Drupal 11/12 foundation built for long-term sustainability. The new platform is engineered around modular architecture, standardized configuration management, API readiness, and security-first principles. Performance optimization, dependency modernization, and technical debt reduction are integrated into the migration strategy to ensure architectural clarity rather than a simple version upgrade. By rebuilding on supported core frameworks and current best practices, the platform becomes maintainable, upgrade-ready, and integration-friendly. This ensures that modernization strengthens governance, scalability, and operational reliability.
We rebuild your platform on a clean, scalable Drupal 11/12 foundation aligned with modern architectural best practices. The new structure improves maintainability, modularity, and long-term upgrade readiness, eliminating legacy constraints from Drupal 7.
The upgraded platform delivers significantly faster page loads, optimized caching strategies, and improved Core Web Vitals. Performance bottlenecks are removed to ensure better Lighthouse scores, stronger SEO performance, and improved user engagement.
Moving off Drupal 7 restores full security coverage and update support. We implement current security best practices, modern authentication standards, dependency management, and proactive patch strategies to protect your digital assets.
Your new Drupal platform is prepared for headless, composable, and integration-driven architectures. Built-in REST, JSON:API, and GraphQL capabilities enable seamless connectivity with frontends, mobile apps, and enterprise systems.
We design the migration with future upgrades in mind, ensuring smoother transitions to upcoming Drupal releases. Clean code, standardized configuration management, and automated workflows reduce upgrade risk and long-term maintenance costs.
Legacy modules, custom patches, and outdated dependencies are removed or refactored. The result is a cleaner codebase, improved developer productivity, and a healthier platform ready for long-term evolution.
Our Drupal 7 Migration delivery framework is designed to minimize risk, eliminate downtime, and ensure long-term platform sustainability. We combine structured planning, controlled execution, and rigorous validation to transition legacy Drupal 7 systems to modern, supported versions. Whether your platform requires a fixed-scope migration, a phased enterprise rollout, or a parallel rebuild strategy, we ensure predictable timelines, technical clarity, and business continuity throughout the process. The result is a secure, future-proof Drupal platform aligned with modern architecture standards, performance best practices, and long-term maintainability.

Migrating from Drupal 7 eliminates exposure to unsupported software risks while restoring full security coverage and compliance alignment. A modern architecture reduces long-term maintenance overhead and minimizes the cost of future upgrades. Improved performance and SEO strengthen user engagement and digital acquisition outcomes. Standardized workflows and API capabilities accelerate marketing execution and integration initiatives. For leadership, this transition transforms a legacy liability into a scalable, secure digital foundation aligned with long-term growth strategy.
Migrating away from unsupported Drupal 7 eliminates exposure to unpatched vulnerabilities and restores full security update coverage, reducing regulatory and reputational risk.
A modernized architecture with standardized configuration and dependency management reduces emergency fixes, upgrade friction, and accumulated technical debt over time.
Cleaner workflows, better configuration control, and simplified deployments decrease internal effort required to maintain and evolve the platform.
Modern caching strategies and optimized rendering improve page speed, Core Web Vitals, and search engine visibility—supporting higher engagement and acquisition outcomes.
Structured migration planning ensures smoother transitions to future Drupal releases, reducing the likelihood of disruptive re-platforming efforts.
API-ready architecture and integration-friendly design enable expansion into new channels, brands, and enterprise systems without architectural rework.
With Drupal 7 reaching end-of-life, Veolia needed to migrate its multisite platform to Drupal 10/11 while preserving region-specific content and multilingual capabilities across more than 200 sites.
The platform was modernized into a stable, scalable multisite foundation with improved performance, maintainability, and long-term upgrade readiness.
“As Dev Team Lead on my project for 10 months, Oleksiy (PathToProject) demonstrated excellent technical skills and the ability to handle complex Drupal projects. His full-stack expertise is highly valuable. ”
UNCCD operated four separate websites (two WordPress, two Drupal), leading to inconsistencies in design, content management, and user experience. A unified, scalable solution was needed to improve efficiency and usability.
The modernization effort resulted in a cohesive, user-friendly, and scalable website, improving content management efficiency and long-term digital sustainability.
“It was my pleasure working with Oleksiy (PathToProject) on a new Drupal website. He is a true full-stack developer—the ideal mix of DevOps expertise, deep front-end knowledge, and the structured thinking of a senior back-end developer. He is well-organized and never lets anything slip. Oleksiy understands what needs to be done before being asked and can manage a project independently with minimal involvement from clients, product managers, or business analysts. One of the best consultants I’ve worked with so far. ”
The existing platform relied on three unaligned WordPress installations and embedded PHP code, creating inefficiencies and risks in content management and usability.
