Drupal to WordPress Migration

Move your Drupal website to WordPress without losing content, custom data structures, or search rankings. We handle the full migration, from content type mapping and database transfer to design rebuild, SEO redirect setup, and domain configuration.

Why Migrate from Drupal to WordPress?

Drupal is a powerful CMS, but its complexity, high maintenance costs, and shrinking developer pool make it increasingly difficult to manage. WordPress gives you the same open-source flexibility with a simpler interface, larger ecosystem, and significantly lower cost of ownership.

Dramatically Lower Maintenance Costs

Drupal requires specialized developers for routine updates, module patches, and version upgrades. WordPress reduces ongoing maintenance costs with a larger talent pool, simpler update process, and more affordable development rates.

Easier Content Management for Your Team

Drupal's admin interface has a steep learning curve that slows down non-technical editors. WordPress provides an intuitive dashboard where your team can create, edit, and publish content without developer assistance.

Larger Plugin and Theme Ecosystem

Drupal has a limited selection of modules and themes compared to WordPress's 59,000+ plugins and thousands of themes. You get more functionality out of the box without custom development.

Future-Proof Your Platform

Drupal 7 has reached end-of-life, and upgrading to Drupal 10 or 11 essentially requires a full rebuild. Migrating to WordPress gives you a modern, actively maintained platform without the cost of a Drupal version upgrade.

Easier to Find Developers When You Need Them

WordPress powers over 43% of all websites, meaning qualified developers are widely available and affordable. Finding skilled Drupal developers is increasingly difficult and expensive as the platform's market share declines.

How Our Drupal to WordPress Migration Works

A structured three-step migration workflow designed to transfer your content, map your custom data structures, and preserve your SEO through a careful, methodical process.

01

Site Audit & Data Mapping

We audit your Drupal site, mapping all content types, custom fields, taxonomies, user roles, media assets, and SEO metadata to create a detailed migration plan with WordPress equivalents identified.

02

Content Migration & WordPress Build

Content types, nodes, fields, and media are migrated to WordPress using structured database transfer. Your site is rebuilt in Elementor Pro with a responsive design that modernizes your existing layout.

03

SEO Preservation, Testing & Launch

We configure 301 redirects, map Drupal URL aliases to WordPress permalinks, test across devices and browsers, and submit your updated sitemap to preserve your search rankings.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can all my Drupal content types and custom fields be migrated to WordPress?

Yes. We map every Drupal content type, custom field, and taxonomy to WordPress equivalents using custom post types, Advanced Custom Fields, and native taxonomies to preserve your content architecture.

2. Is it better to migrate to WordPress or upgrade to Drupal 10/11?

For most organizations, migrating to WordPress is more cost-effective. Upgrading from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 or 11 requires a full rebuild with similar effort, but WordPress offers lower ongoing maintenance costs, a larger developer pool, and an easier editorial experience.

3. Will I lose my search rankings when migrating from Drupal to WordPress?

No. We map all Drupal URL aliases to WordPress permalinks, set up 301 redirects for every page, migrate your meta tags, and submit an updated sitemap to preserve your search rankings.

4. How long does a Drupal to WordPress migration take?

It depends on site complexity and content volume. A standard business website typically takes 3 to 4 weeks. Large sites with multiple content types, custom modules, and extensive archives may take 4 to 8 weeks.

5. Will my website go down during the migration?

No. We build your new WordPress site on a staging environment while your Drupal site stays live. The switch happens only when the new site is fully tested and ready.

6. Can you replace my custom Drupal modules with WordPress equivalents?

Yes. We identify WordPress plugin equivalents for your Drupal modules, covering functionality like forms, search, user management, workflows, and integrations. Where no equivalent exists, we develop custom solutions.

WordPress is significantly easier to use than Drupal, so your team will likely find it intuitive. We provide a post-migration walkthrough covering content editing, page management, and basic site administration.

8. Do you provide hosting and maintenance after the migration?

Yes. We offer managed WordPress hosting and ongoing maintenance plans to keep your site secure, updated, and performing well after launch.
