Drupal Development & Services

Drupal work that stands up to real editorial and security demands

End-to-end Drupal services: new builds, custom themes and modules, version migrations, third-party integration and long-term maintenance for organisations that need structured content, granular permissions and a serious security posture.

Overview

What you get from this practice

Drupal earns its place where content is genuinely structured, where editorial workflow and permissions matter, and where multilingual or multi-site delivery is a requirement rather than a wish. We build on it accordingly — configuration in code, upgrade paths kept open, and no contributed-module sprawl.

Configuration in version control, deployable to any environment
Security releases applied on a defined schedule, not ad hoc
Upgrade path to the next major version kept deliberately open
Contributed modules justified individually, not accumulated
Editor documentation and training handed over with the site

Exit: documented and rehearsed from day one

Capabilities

What this practice covers

Drupal website development

Complete Drupal builds from content modelling and information architecture through to launch, with configuration managed in code and a documented deployment path.

Drupal CMS development

Entity types, fields, taxonomies, editorial workflows, revisioning and role-based permissions designed around how your teams actually publish.

Theme development & customisation

Custom themes built on Twig and modern front-end tooling, or careful customisation of an existing theme, matched to your brand and accessible by default.

Module development & integration

Custom modules where contributed ones do not fit, plus integration with CRM, ERP, payment, search and single sign-on systems through well-defined APIs.

Migration & upgrades

Drupal 7 and 8/9 to Drupal 10 or 11, and migrations from WordPress or bespoke systems, with content mapping, validation and rehearsed cutover.

Maintenance & support

Security release monitoring and patching, core and contributed module updates, performance tuning, backups and an agreed response window.

How we deliver

From first conversation to a running system

Step 01

Content model first

We map entities, fields, taxonomies and editorial roles before touching a theme. Most painful Drupal builds are content-modelling failures, not code failures.

Step 02

Configuration in code

Site configuration is version-controlled and deployed, never clicked into production. Environments stay reproducible and reviewable.

Step 03

Build & integrate

Theme and custom modules developed against coding standards, with automated tests and a staging environment your team can review in.

Step 04

Migrate, launch & maintain

Content migration rehearsed on real data, cutover planned, then ongoing security patching and updates under an agreed schedule.

Technology

What we build with

We keep a deliberately narrow toolset so the depth is real. Within it, the choice is made per engagement based on your team and your constraints rather than our preferences.

Where your team already knows a technology well, that usually outweighs a marginal technical advantage elsewhere — and we will say so.

Area	Tools and platforms
Core	Drupal 10, Drupal 11, PHP 8.3, Symfony components
Front end	Twig, Single Directory Components, Tailwind, Vite
Tooling	Composer, Drush, Config Split, Migrate API, PHPUnit
Hosting	Acquia, Pantheon, Platform.sh, AWS, Oracle Cloud, DigitalOcean

Questions

Drupal Development & Services, answered plainly

The questions clients actually ask about this practice, including the awkward ones.

All FAQs

Drupal suits structured content, complex permissions, multilingual and multi-site delivery, and organisations with real governance requirements. WordPress is usually the better answer for content-led marketing sites with simpler models. We will tell you which one fits your case, including when it is not the one we would be building.

Yes. Drupal 7 reached end of life, so this is a migration rather than an in-place upgrade: we audit the existing site, map content and configuration to a fresh Drupal 10 or 11 build, migrate the data with validation, and plan the cutover.

Contributed first, where a well-maintained module fits. We write custom modules when the fit is poor, and we document why — every contributed module is a long-term maintenance and security commitment.

Monitoring of core and module security advisories, patching within an agreed window, dependency and version updates, backup verification, performance checks and a monthly allocation for small changes.
