Hire Drupal Developers Who Can Read What The Last Team Left Behind
The Site Runs. Nobody Wants To Touch It.
Contrib modules three versions behind, a custom module with no documentation and a theme that breaks when you update anything. The risk is not the platform. It is that nobody left knows what was done to it.

Why teams bring us in
Drupal problems rarely arrive as Drupal problems. They arrive as a security advisory nobody can act on, an upgrade quote that doubled after discovery or an editor who has stopped using the CMS because publishing takes eleven clicks.
We read before we rewrite
Every engagement starts with an audit of your contrib list, custom modules and config, so the estimate reflects your site rather than a generic one.
Config in version control
Configuration exported and committed, not clicked into production. Your staging site matches live because it is built from the same source.
Upgrades planned, not gambled
We map every custom module and patch to its replacement on the current stable release before the migration starts, so nothing is discovered on cutover day.
Editors kept in mind
Content teams get workflows they will actually use. A CMS people avoid is a CMS you are paying to maintain twice.
Services
What we build and maintain
Most engagements start with one of these and quickly involve two or three more.
Custom modules, Views, entity types and integrations written to Drupal standards so the next developer can pick them up without a rewrite.
Themes built on Single Directory Components or Twig, responsive from the first breakpoint and matched to your design system rather than a bought template.
Caching layers, database query tuning, image handling and CDN configuration for sites where the page weight has quietly grown for years.
Advisory monitoring, patch cycles, permission audits and dependency updates handled on a schedule instead of after an incident.
Legacy Drupal sites brought up to the current stable release, and sites on a version nearing end of life moved before support runs out. We build so the next major upgrade is a version bump rather than another project. WordPress to Drupal or a platform consolidation, with content mapping agreed before a single node moves.
Drupal Commerce, payment gateways, ERP and CRM connections, and the API work that keeps stock, pricing and orders in agreement.
Event tracking, dashboards and reporting wired into the site so content decisions rest on numbers rather than opinions.
Built Around Your Needs
Three ways to bring Drupal expertise
onto your team
Dedicated teams
Need a team that still knows your codebase six months from now?
A dedicated group of Drupal engineers assigned to your roadmap, working your sprints and your standards. They keep the context that contractors take with them when a project closes.
Software outsourcing
Have a build with a date on it and nobody free to run it?
We take the whole project, from discovery and content modeling through launch and handover. You review at agreed checkpoints and get documentation written for whoever maintains it next.
Staff Augmentation
Short one Drupal specialist rather than a whole team?
Individual engineers who join your existing team, your tooling and your standups. Useful when the gap is a module upgrade or a migration nobody in house has done before.
Frequently Asked Questions
Once a major version reaches end of life there are no further security releases for core or most contrib modules, so the site is running unpatched from that day on. If a move is not budgeted yet, start with an audit that tells you which of your modules have supported equivalents and which need rewriting.
It depends on custom code and content complexity far more than page count. A brochure site with stock modules can move in weeks. A site with bespoke entity types, a decade of editorial history and live integrations is a multi month project. We scope it after the audit rather than before.
That is most of what we do. We start by reading the codebase and documenting what is actually there, then agree what stays, what gets replaced and what gets deleted.
No. Drupal works well as a headless or hybrid back end through JSON:API, with a decoupled front end where it earns its place. We would rather show you where decoupling helps and where it just adds a second system to maintain.
You do. Code lives in your repository, infrastructure sits in your accounts and we work inside them. Nothing is locked to us and handover is part of the engagement, not an extra.
Most clients move onto a maintenance cycle covering security advisories, contrib updates and small enhancements. Some keep a dedicated team on the roadmap. Either way you get the documentation whether or not you keep us.
