Drupal Migration in Dunfermline
Drupal migrations for Dunfermline organisations, where the distance travelled determines everything. Moving between recent major versions is a manageable upgrade with tooling to help; moving from Drupal 7 is a rebuild in all but name, and organisations still on it are running a version that reached end of life some time ago.
Why this comes up
The problem
The site runs on Drupal 7, it is past end of life, and every quote to upgrade describes a rebuild rather than an upgrade.
What you get
What we deliver
- The gap assessed honestly — routine upgrade, staged modernisation or rebuild
- Contributed modules audited, since these decide whether an upgrade is possible
- Custom modules reviewed for what is still used and what can be dropped
- Content migrated through the platform's own migration tooling where available
- Content model revisited rather than reproduced, since it accumulated over years
- Addresses preserved or redirected, as public sector sites carry many inbound links

Drupal Migration in Dunfermline — common questions
- Why is Drupal 7 different?
- Because the architecture changed fundamentally afterwards. Modules, theming and much of the code do not carry across, so it is a rebuild with content migration rather than an upgrade — which is why estimates surprise organisations expecting a version bump.
- Are recent version upgrades easier?
- Substantially, and that is the point of getting current. Once on a recent version, subsequent major upgrades are routine work with deprecation tooling to guide them — so the difficult migration is the one that gets you onto the modern platform.
- What blocks an upgrade?
- Contributed modules without a compatible release. The core upgrade path is well supported, and a site depending on a module nobody has updated needs that function replaced, adopted or dropped — which is where the unbudgeted effort concentrates.
- Should the content model come across unchanged?
- Rarely. Content types accumulate over a decade in response to individual requests, and migration is the practical moment to consolidate them — reproducing the existing structure faithfully carries forward decisions nobody would make again.
- Do you work with businesses across Fife?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Dunfermline and the surrounding Fife area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Dunfermline businesses do you usually work with?
- Back-office and operations systems for firms based in Fife but trading into the Edinburgh market. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Manufacturing, Logistics, Retail and Public Sector.
- Do you cover the areas around Dunfermline?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh, Stirling, Perth. Dunfermline is an urban area of roughly 55,000+, and we take on work across the wider Fife region rather than the city boundary alone.
