Migrate from Drupal to Craft CMS.

Less complexity. Lower cost. Editors who actually want to use the CMS.

Migrate from Drupal to Craft CMS.

Drupal got you here. It might not get you where you're going next. We move teams from Drupal to Craft CMS — preserving content models, taxonomies, and SEO, while shedding the complexity that's been making upgrades, maintenance, and editorial work harder than they should be.

Why teams leave Drupal

Drupal is powerful. It's also expensive — in money, in developer time, and in upgrade pain.

  • Major version upgrades are projects, not updates. D7>D8>D9>D10 has cost the industry billions of euros in migrations that should have been routine.
  • Editorial UX has lagged for a decade. Editors learn workarounds. They don't enjoy using the CMS.
  • Developer dependency is structural. Even small content changes often need a developer.
  • Hosting and infrastructure are expensive. Drupal's resource needs are higher than modern PHP CMSes.
  • The module ecosystem is shrinking. Maintainers are leaving. Some critical modules haven't been updated in years
  • The site builder experience is fragmented. Layout Builder, Paragraphs, ECK, and custom blocks each solve part of the problem.

Craft gives you most of what Drupal does, with less complexity, lower TCO, and editors who don't quietly resent the CMS.

What changes when you move to Craft
  • Content modeling is direct. Field types, entry types, and relationships are first-class, not assembled from modules.
  • Editorial UX is a priority, not an afterthought. Editors find Craft easier and more enjoyable to use, every time.
  • Upgrades happen continuously. No version migration projects. The CMS evolves as you use it.
  • Resource costs are lower. Craft runs faster on less infrastructure than equivalent Drupal sites.
  • Multi-site is native without the complexity of Drupal's multisite or domain-access modules.
  • Live preview, drafts, version history all built in — no contributed modules required.

How we migrate from Drupal

  • Full content export from any Drupal version (D7, D8, D9, D10) with field-level preservation
  • Content types mapped to Craft entry types and sections
  • Field collections, paragraphs, and ECK entities restructured into native Craft fields (Matrix, Super Table, relationships)
  • Taxonomies preserved as Craft categories with full hierarchy
  • Files and media migrated with metadata, focal points, and image styles
  • User accounts, roles, and permissions mapped to Craft users
  • Views recreated as Craft entry queries
  • Multilingual setups (D8+ core multilingual) migrated to Craft's native multi-site architecture
  • URL-to-URL redirect mapping with 301s active on day one
  • Metadata, schema, and structured data preserved

What you keep

How we protect your rankings:
  • Every URL that ranks (or a permanent redirect)
  • Every content type, field, and taxonomy relationship
  • Every editorial workflow, simplified
  • Every SEO signal Google has indexed

Common concerns about leaving Drupal

  • Can Craft handle the complexity our Drupal site has?

    Probably, yes. Craft handles complex content models, relationships, multi-site, multi-language, and multi-role workflows natively. What it doesn't try to do is handle every edge case through contributed modules. If your Drupal site uses 80+ modules, the migration will simplify the architecture — that's usually the goal, not a downside.

  • What about Drupal Commerce?

    Drupal Commerce migrates to Craft Commerce. Products, variants, taxonomies, customers, orders, and tax rules all preserved. Craft Commerce is closer to what most teams actually need than Drupal Commerce ever was.

  • What about Views?

    Views map to Craft entry queries — usually as either dynamic content sections or as element index pages. The migration replaces hundreds of Views configurations with cleaner, faster, easier-to-maintain Craft queries.

  • How do you handle multilingual Drupal?

    Craft's native multi-site supports multi-language out of the box. We've migrated Drupal sites with 10+ languages onto Craft. The migration usually simplifies the setup significantly.

  • Can we move parts of the site to Craft and keep the rest on Drupal?

    Yes. We've done parallel-running migrations where one section moves first, with Drupal still serving the rest. Useful when full migration timelines don't fit the business.
