Attico renders full-cycle Drupal migration services, from planning to execution. Our team of engineers is capable of migrating Drupal 7 solutions of any complexity without data loss and downtime.
Organizations running their websites on Drupal 7 after its end of life are putting both business continuity and user trust at risk. Postponing the Drupal website migration and continuing to use a legacy platform make it difficult to manage even minor changes and increase the risk of security threats. With half of hacked websites operating on outdated CMS versions, now is the time to ensure yours isn’t one of them.
The EOL of Drupal 7 creates a number of technical and business issues for your company. If you ignore the Drupal 7 migration, you will experience growing security risks, increased maintenance and support costs, and functional limitations that slow down your digital growth.
Attico migrates Drupal solutions of any complexity, including multisite and multilingual enterprise platforms.
We believe that quality, security, and performance should be built into the product from the very beginning — not added later in the development cycle. That is why our work is guided by a Shift-Left mindset across all project activities, from initial discovery and architecture planning to development, testing, and deployment.
By identifying risks, validating requirements, and aligning teams early, we prevent costly rework and ensure that every stage of delivery contributes to a stable, scalable, and secure solution.
The latest versions of Drupal are based on a new technology stack. This enables them to deliver improved performance and faster page load times.

Plan your Drupal migration with confidence.
Let’s discuss your project!
When is Drupal 7’s EOL?
Drupal 7 was on January 5, 2025. After this date, the Drupal community no longer provides official support, entailing higher TCO and increased risks.
What does Drupal 7’s EOL mean?
EOL means that the version is no longer supported by the community: no security updates, bug fixes, or core improvements, let alone module updates. Also, Drupal 7 will not support higher versions of PHP than 8.2, which are proposed to be faster and thus make a better experience for your users with reduced computational consumption for your business.
Why should we migrate to Drupal 11?
Modern Drupal versions use a fresh technology stack: a Composer-based core, Symfony under the hood, and support for React and Vue.js, whose modular structure is easier to maintain. They also offer new default administration and client-side themes, optimized for accessibility, as well as an ultra-modern rich-text editor with improved authoring experience and enhanced editing options spiced with next-gen image format support.
How migration differs from an update?
Although many users may believe that migrating Drupal 7 to 8 and higher is a kind of update, this is actually not true. Drupal 8 is a completely new system because it was developed from scratch; for this reason, you can’t simply transfer information, modules, and a theme into a newer version — the entire solution has to be recreated from scratch.
What are the migration deliverables?
Upon completion of the migration, you will receive a range of deliverables moved to a fresh installation of the newest Drupal version: data and content, theme, and functionality.
Can you migrate my current theme from Drupal 7?
Given the architectural differences between Drupal 7 and 8, your theme cannot be migrated and should be recreated from scratch. Indeed, we can replicate your old theme as is. However, you can seize this opportunity to create a comprehensive atomic design system that serves as a modular UI backbone during theme development and breathes new life into your solution.
How do you guarantee no data loss during a Drupal website migration?
Before running the Drupal data migration, we create a database snapshot that fully replicates your original database, except for sensitive data. To avoid any losses, we identify all changes to the site structure, layout, and data, and map them between the old and new versions. Drupal 7 is initially migrated to the test environment, where we perform a comprehensive set of manual and automated tests against a predefined list of cases to ensure proper operation.
How do you improve website performance during a Drupal upgrade and migration?
We help optimize your business processes and enhance website performance by suggesting which functionality should be retained or altered. Based on the business analysis, we discard no-longer-needed functionality, replace outdated modules with their Drupal 8+ counterparts, or, if none are available, help you find modules with similar functionality.
What is required from me as a client to migrate?
Your engagement is crucial for a successful migration. Your input and feedback will be necessary at all stages. During discovery, you formulate business goals and requirements. When the migration plan is drafted, you provide feedback so that we can better tailor it to the specifics of your business, domain, and operations. You provide continual feedback so we remain in sync — as new features are introduced, we ask you to get acquainted with them and let us know if anything needs improvement. The migration is complete when you approve it and confirm that the site meets your expectations. Post-migration, we continue to hypercare about you and provide ongoing support.
