Drupal Modernization
Legacy Drupal platforms eventually become difficult to maintain, expensive to support, and increasingly vulnerable to security and compatibility issues. I help organizations modernize their Drupal websites through thoughtful planning, architecture, and implementation, creating platforms that are more secure, maintainable, and prepared for future growth.
Overview
Many organizations continue to rely on aging Drupal platforms that have become difficult to maintain, costly to support, or are approaching end-of-life. Modernization projects often involve more than simply upgrading software versions—they require careful planning, architecture review, content migration, deployment automation, and long-term operational strategy.
I help organizations evaluate existing Drupal platforms, identify modernization opportunities, and execute successful migration and upgrade initiatives. My experience spans Drupal 6 through Drupal 11 and includes large-scale content migrations, multisite architecture, deployment automation, performance optimization, and platform consolidation efforts.
Whether the goal is migrating from an unsupported Drupal version, consolidating multiple websites, improving deployment workflows, or modernizing infrastructure, I work with organizations to create solutions that are maintainable, scalable, and aligned with long-term business goals.
