3 faster, cheaper and more secure options for you to choose from.
Drupal 7 and 9 will be end of life on 1 November 2023. This means no more security updates will be developed. If your site remains on these versions after this date, the chances of being hacked by a cybersecurity attack considerably increases, potentially risking costly reputational damage to your brand.
We’ve developed 4 technologies that help mitigate your Drupal End-of-Life burden. When combined, they will significantly reduce your build complexity and the time it takes to go live, without the hefty price tag.
Lockdown Drupal and restrict access to content editors only. It’s a one-way street from here allowing updates to be pushed to your site while also denying any unwanted access from the outside. Alternatively, eliminate Drupal all together with a static replica, reducing vulnerabilities even further.
^1When converting your website to 100% static.
All content updates are pushed to over 50 locations around the world, each time and every time. Low lag means faster page times, better user experience and engagement.
Have your site up and running within 2 to 8 weeks^2.
Our options involve site configuration and assembly rather than code, reducing the time to
deliver when compared to a traditional rebuild.
^2 2 to 4 weeks for Leave It and Keep It, and 2 to 8 weeks for Rebuild It.
Generating a static version of your site means your Drupal host only needs computing power to serve your content editors^3, greatly reducing your hosting and carbon footprint. Better yet, we can put your Drupal servers to sleep when not in use by content editors, saving even more power and costs.
^3 Your static public content will still require power, though significantly less.
Our options involve site configuration and assembly (rather than code) which means the cost to deliver your site is considerably less compared to a traditional rebuild.
Our Drupal End-of-Life options provide choice to meet individual
needs.
You have 3 unique options to leave it, keep it or rebuild it.
You also have the option of a traditional upgrade.
Leave Drupal altogether by publishing a static copy of your website.
Generate and host a static version of your site, with a simple content editor for basic updates, then decommission (leave) your Drupal site permanently once the static site is all setup.
^4 Some functionality can't be made static and thus not supported. To be assessed upon evaluation.
Keep your Drupal 7 site for longer by locking down and restricting access to the editorial domain.
Generate and host a static version of your site for your public site visitors, but keep a locked down version of your Drupal site for your content editors.
Rebuild your site onto a modern, feature-rich, responsive, and inclusive theme optimised for Drupal 10.
Map your existing site features and UI to out-of-the-box components from our open source design system and Drupal-10-ready theme. Then migrate your content as-is with automation.
Carry out a traditional upgrade of your website as-is onto Drupal 10, maintaining your existing functionality and look-and-feel as-is.
Rebuild your website with Drupal 10 by mapping your existing functionality to available modules and replicating your UI as-is. Then migrate your content as-is with automation.
