Drupal Support in Lancaster
Support for Lancaster organisations running Drupal, where configuration belongs in code rather than in the production interface. Content types, views, permissions and settings can all be exported and moved between environments — and a site where someone changes those directly on production has no record of what changed and no way to test it first.
Why this comes up
The problem
A field was added on the live site to solve something urgent, and the development environment no longer matches production.
What you get
What we deliver
- Configuration exported to code so changes move through environments deliberately
- Production configuration changes prevented or, where unavoidable, captured back
- A development and staging environment that genuinely matches production
- Deployment process defined, including how configuration is imported
- Requests triaged, with recurring ones addressed at their cause
- Documentation kept current, since Drupal sites outlive the people who build them

Drupal Support in Lancaster — common questions
- Why should configuration live in code?
- Because it is then reviewable, testable and reversible. A field added directly on production exists nowhere else, cannot be reviewed before it lands and disappears from any environment rebuilt from the repository — which is discovered at the worst moment.
- What if something must be changed urgently on production?
- Do it and then export it back the same day. The failure is not the emergency change; it is leaving production and the repository divergent afterwards, because the next deployment either overwrites the fix or fails in a way nobody expects.
- Does staging need to match exactly?
- Closely enough that testing means something. Different module versions, different configuration or substantially different content produce a staging environment that passes tests production will fail — which is worse than having no staging at all.
- Why does documentation matter more here?
- Because these sites are long-lived and complex. A public sector or university Drupal site frequently outlasts several development teams, and the accumulated decisions about content types, workflows and custom modules are otherwise entirely undiscoverable.
- Do you work with businesses across Lancashire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North West, including Lancaster and the surrounding Lancashire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Lancaster businesses do you usually work with?
- University-adjacent research and admin systems, and visitor booking for operators serving Lake District traffic. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Healthcare, Tourism, Manufacturing and Public Sector.
- Do you cover the areas around Lancaster?
- Yes — we work throughout North West, including Preston, Carlisle, Manchester. Lancaster is an urban area of roughly 50,000+, and we take on work across the wider Lancashire region rather than the city boundary alone.
