Drupal Maintenance in Wells
Maintaining Drupal sites for Wells organisations, where updates are dependency management rather than clicking a button. Core and contributed modules are managed through Composer with a dependency tree beneath them, so an update is resolved against everything else installed — and one module pinning an old version can hold back the whole site.
Why this comes up
The problem
A core update cannot be applied because one contributed module requires a version of a shared dependency that conflicts.
What you get
What we deliver
- Updates applied through the dependency manager rather than by replacing files
- The dependency tree examined when an update is blocked, to find what is pinning it
- Contributed modules reviewed for maintenance status and continued need
- Patches managed properly, so they survive updates rather than being reapplied
- Updates tested on a matching environment before reaching production
- A cadence agreed, since deferred updates compound into a project

Drupal Maintenance in Wells — common questions
- Why do updates get blocked?
- Because modules share dependencies with version constraints. One module requiring an older version of a library prevents anything needing a newer one from installing, and resolving it means either updating that module, patching it, or removing what it provides.
- What about custom patches?
- They need managing rather than reapplying. Patches applied by hand are lost at every update; declared in the dependency configuration they are reapplied automatically — and the ones that stop applying tell you the upstream code has changed underneath them.
- Should unused modules be removed?
- Yes, and it is frequently deferred. Every installed module is code to update, a potential blocker in the dependency tree and a security surface — and sites accumulate ones enabled for a project years ago that nothing now uses.
- How often should we update?
- Monthly for routine releases and immediately for security ones. The effort is not linear: a site kept current takes an hour or two a month, and one left for a year presents a set of interacting version conflicts that takes considerably longer to unpick.
- Do you work with businesses across Somerset?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South West, including Wells and the surrounding Somerset area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Wells businesses do you usually work with?
- Straightforward booking, ordering and payment systems for independents, scoped to what a very small operator can sustain. Beyond that we work across Tourism & Heritage, Agriculture, Retail, Hospitality and Food & Drink.
- Do you cover the areas around Wells?
- Yes — we work throughout South West, including Bath, Bristol, Salisbury. Wells is an urban area of roughly 12,000+, and we take on work across the wider Somerset region rather than the city boundary alone.
