FAQ
What is a Drupal Migration and how does it work?
A Drupal migration involves transferring digital content from an old Drupal website to a new one, whether it's built on a Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress, Joomla, AEM, or Sitecore. It's a wise decision to migrate to the latest version of Drupal, using migration scripts and tools provided by Drupal core or contributed modules. These scripts map data and handle differences in content types, fields, and structures.
Why should I migrate to Drupal 10?
Drupal 10 offers numerous benefits, including improved performance, accessibility, and enhanced developer tools. It has been continuously improved since Drupal 8, ensuring long-term support and compatibility. It's a wise move to stay updated with Drupal versions for optimal web project support.
What is the theme?
The Drupal website's look and feel are determined by its theme, which can be a single file or a collection of files like PHP, INFO, CSS, JPG, GIF, and PNG. It includes elements like headers, icons, and block layouts. There are many community-developed themes or you can create your own.
How much does a Drupal migration cost?
The cost of a Drupal migration varies significantly based on factors like site complexity, version, data migration, and specific features. While we can provide figures, the cost range may not be accurate for your specific situation.

Would we lose any existing features or content if we migrated to Drupal 10?
The complexity of your current CMS setup, structure, and implementation of Drupal 10 depends on its complexity. Custom modules often require rebuilding due to its Symfony framework and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles. Additionally, themes need redevelopment due to the new template engine introduced in Drupal 8, Twig. To minimize loss of features or content, thorough planning and testing are essential. Working with Drupal experts is recommended for a smooth migration process.
What will happen to our 3rd party integrations when we migrate to Drupal 10?
Drupal has improved its compatibility and integrations with third-party software with each new version. The inclusion of web services in Drupal core makes creating RESTful APIs quick and straightforward, enabling seamless connections with various applications. Additionally, Drupal has expanded its integration modules, enhancing its versatility.
How easy (or difficult) is it to upgrade from Drupal 9 to Drupal 10?
The Drupal community has prioritized backward compatibility in the upgrade process from Drupal 9 to Drupal 10. If your site is well-maintained and updated with Drupal 9 best practices, the transition should be easy. However, it's crucial to assess your site's specific requirements and consult with Drupal experts for a tailored migration plan to ensure a smooth and trouble-free transition.
I’ve run into many issues after migrating to Drupal 9. How do I fix it?
If your Drupal development partner hasn't taken care of your site's architecture, content structure, module upgrade paths, custom code migration, library version updates, permissions, and performance, your website may face issues. While a detailed article can help tackle these issues, it's recommended to seek help from Drupal experts to prevent future issues.
