Migrating from WordPress to Drupal is a very specific kind of project. It is not "redo the site" — it is content migration, taxonomy mapping, user role redesign, SEO preservation, and often a multi-site or workflow rebuild. The agencies who do it well are a small list. Here it is, with honest notes.

Who needs a WordPress to Drupal migration in 2026?

Three groups, mostly:

1. Higher education and government moving to Drupal for accessibility, multi-site, and editorial workflow strengths.
2. Enterprise and regulated industries (healthcare, finance, nonprofits with large staffs) where Drupal's permissions and workflow model fit better than WordPress.
3. Publishers and large content sites that have outgrown WordPress's editorial workflow or need stronger structured-content support.

If you do not have one of those drivers, a migration is probably not worth it — modernize WordPress instead.

The shortlist

/1. DoodleWeb

Best for: Higher-ed, B2B, and mid-market WordPress → Drupal moves where AEO and Core Web Vitals matter on launch. We've done WordPress to Drupal migrations across higher education and B2B since 2014. Strong fit if you want the migration paired with an SEO and AEO plan from day one rather than as an afterthought.

/2. Acquia (and Acquia Partners)

Best for: Drupal Cloud + enterprise hosting bundled with the migration. Acquia is the platform vendor behind much of enterprise Drupal. Their partner network includes large global firms. Most expensive option but the safest for very large, very visible sites.

/3. Mobomo

Best for: Government and federal WordPress → Drupal. DC-based, deep federal CMS experience. Strong fit if you have FedRAMP, Section 508, or federal procurement constraints.

/4. Promet Source

Best for: Higher education, civic, and accessibility-focused migrations. Long-standing Drupal shop with a track record on .edu and .gov sites.

/5. Velir

Best for: Enterprise content migrations including Sitecore and WordPress origins. Strong technical bench, often paired with brand and design work.

/6. Axelerant

Best for: Offshore-led Drupal migrations at lower per-hour cost. India-based with North American leadership. Cost-effective for straightforward migrations where timezone overlap is manageable.

/7. WDG (Web Development Group)

Best for: Associations, nonprofits, and mid-market Drupal migrations. DC-area, strong on association and nonprofit work.

/8. Zoocha

Best for: UK and EU based migrations, government and higher-ed. Drupal-only agency with strong reputation in the UK public sector.

Real pricing in 2026

A WordPress to Drupal migration almost never comes in under $80k unless your site is small and simple. Real ranges:

| Project profile | Realistic cost | |---|---| | 50–150 page brochure site, simple content types | $80k–$150k | | 500–2000 page content site with custom post types and taxonomies | $150k–$400k | | Higher-ed multi-site with editorial workflow and SSO | $300k–$900k | | Enterprise multi-language, multi-region | $500k–$2M+ |

If a quote comes in dramatically below these ranges, ask what's not included. Usually it's content migration, SEO redirects, accessibility QA, or post-launch hypercare.

What a real migration actually includes

• Content type and taxonomy mapping (WordPress post types and taxonomies → Drupal content types and vocabularies)
• Content migration using the Drupal Migrate API (not a one-time CSV import)
• Media and image library migration with file path preservation where possible
• User and role migration with permission redesign
• URL preservation and 301 redirect map for every old URL
• SEO migration: metadata, canonical tags, schema, sitemap, robots
• Theme rebuild on Drupal (you cannot reuse a WordPress theme)
• Accessibility audit (WCAG 2.1 AA or 2.2)
• Editorial workflow setup
• Hosting move (Acquia, Pantheon, or self-managed)
• Training for content editors
• Post-launch hypercare for 30–90 days

If any of those are missing from a proposal, it is not a real migration plan.

Questions to ask every migration agency

1. How many WordPress → Drupal migrations have you completed in the last 24 months?
2. Show me one with our content volume and complexity.
3. Who on your team owns the Migrate API code, and what's their tenure?
4. How do you preserve SEO across the migration?
5. What's your accessibility process — automated, manual, or both?
6. Which hosting platform do you recommend and why?
7. What does post-launch hypercare look like?
8. Who is the technical PM and how often will we hear from them?
9. Can we talk to two reference clients who launched in the last 18 months?
10. What's the realistic timeline — not the sales-deck timeline?

How long does a WordPress to Drupal migration take?

A small site is 3–4 months. A mid-sized content site is 6–9 months. Higher-ed multi-site projects often run 9–18 months including discovery, build, content migration, training, and a phased launch. Anyone promising 6 weeks is selling you a theme swap, not a migration.
