I handle WordPress to Drupal migrations for organizations that have outgrown WordPress and need a platform built for structure, scale, and serious content management. Drupal is designed for businesses that manage large libraries of content, multiple authoring roles, or complex e-commerce systems. It provides consistency, granular control, and the kind of long-term stability that high-volume sites depend on.
WordPress is great for smaller sites and quick content editing, but it begins to show its limits when you’re managing thousands of pages, data relationships, or advanced workflows. The plugin ecosystem that makes WordPress flexible can also make it fragile. Too many plugins create conflicts, performance issues, and subscription costs that pile up over time. Drupal avoids those problems.
With Drupal, you build your technology once and you own it outright. There are no plugin subscriptions to renew and no “pro” features hiding behind paywalls. Modules in Drupal are open, standardized, and maintained by a community that values reliability over flash. You get freedom from plugin expiration dates and vendor lock-ins, but that flexibility comes with responsibility—complex sites require thoughtful development and configuration to get the most from Drupal’s framework.
I plan and execute WordPress to Drupal migrations carefully, preserving data integrity, URLs, and SEO value while rebuilding your site on a more scalable foundation. Each project begins with a full audit of your WordPress environment, followed by a structured content map that defines how posts, taxonomies, media, and metadata will translate into Drupal’s content model.
My WordPress to Drupal migration services include:
- Content and Taxonomy Migration: Moving posts, pages, media, and categories into properly defined Drupal entities.
- User and Role Management: Rebuilding access control using Drupal’s robust role and permission system.
- E-commerce Migration: Migrating WooCommerce stores into Drupal Commerce with organized product catalogs and order data.
- Custom Field Mapping: Translating custom fields, ACF content, or meta data into Drupal fields and view displays.
- URL and SEO Preservation: Redirects, canonical URLs, and metadata migration to maintain rankings and inbound links.
- Performance and Caching Setup: Tuning Drupal’s caching layers, render caching, and CDN integration for large-scale traffic.
- Theme Rebuild: Recreating or modernizing your existing layout as a responsive, maintainable Drupal theme using Bootstrap 5.
Drupal has made major strides in caching, performance, and scalability. Its structured design keeps your site uniform, secure, and efficient even as your content or traffic grows. It’s built for editorial control, large teams, and enterprise-level operations where governance and structure matter.
For businesses that want a long-term content platform without the recurring cost and instability of the plugin-driven model, Drupal provides real ownership. You control the code, the data, and the technology stack. The tradeoff is that complex sites often require more planning and development up front—but the payoff is a site that lasts longer, scales cleaner, and stays under your full control.
If you’re ready to move from WordPress to Drupal and invest in a system built for structure, stability, and ownership, I can manage the entire migration from planning to deployment.
