Drupal Migration in Glasgow
Drupal migrations for Glasgow 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

Glasgow's engineering and renewables base gives it an industrial character quite unlike Edinburgh's, and Scottish clients should note that contracts here fall under Scots law, which we account for in engagement terms.

Drupal Migration in Glasgow — 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 Glasgow City?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Glasgow and the surrounding Glasgow City area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Glasgow businesses do you usually work with?
- Engineering and renewables clients dominate, with a recurring need for monitoring and reporting across distributed sites. Beyond that we work across Engineering, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Creative Industries and Renewables.
- Do you cover the areas around Glasgow?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh. Glasgow is an urban area of roughly 1,000,000+, and we take on work across the wider Glasgow City region rather than the city boundary alone.
