MIGRATION

Drupal to WordPress Migration

Move when the math finally makes sense.

Drupal to WordPress migration services move a site's content, taxonomy, users, media, and URL structure from Drupal (7/9/10) onto WordPress while preserving SEO equity through a full redirect map. Typical engagements run 10 to 16 weeks and cut total cost of ownership by 30–50% by removing engineering-heavy Drupal maintenance and moving to a marketing-editable Gutenberg block editor on managed WordPress hosting (WP Engine, Kinsta, Pantheon). Cost ranges from $18,000 for a marketing site to $150,000+ for a multi-site or higher-ed platform.
