FIG 02 · Quick answer
What are Drupal development services?
Drupal development services cover building, upgrading and supporting websites on Drupal, the open-source CMS. Elgrith builds Drupal 11 sites and Drupal CMS projects, migrates Drupal 7 and Drupal 10 sites before support ends (Drupal 10 reaches end of life on 9 December 2026), and runs headless Drupal front ends, integrations and long-term maintenance.

FIG 03 · Why it matters
Drupal 7 support has ended. Drupal 10’s ends in December 2026.
From drupal.org and W3Techs, checked on 23 Oct 2026.

9 Dec 2026
Drupal 10 reaches end of life
Drupal.org: “Drupal 10 will reach end of life on December 9, 2026.” Drupal 12 and 11.5.0 are due the same week, and security support for 11.3.x and 10.6.x ends then too.

Drupal 7 security support ended
Drupal.org: “Drupal 7 security support has ended as of 5 January 2025.” Paid Extended Security Support from vendors such as HeroDevs and Tag1 Consulting is a bridge, not a destination.

29.0%
Of Drupal sites still run Drupal 7
W3Techs’ version data (22 Oct 2026): 29.0% on Drupal 7, 28.7% on Drupal 10 and 22.4% on Drupal 11. Most Drupal sites are on a version whose support has ended or ends on 9 Dec 2026.

FIG 04 · Version check
Is your Drupal version still supported?
Find your version on the Status report page (/admin/reports/status), then find it below. If the end-of-life date has passed, core no longer gets security fixes from the Drupal Security Team.
| Version | Status, 23 Oct 2026 | End of life | PHP | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drupal 7 | End of life: no community security support | Ended 5 Jan 2025 | Legacy | Migrate to Drupal 11 (or re-platform) |
| Drupal 8 and 9 | End of life | Already ended | Legacy | Migrate or upgrade to Drupal 11 |
| Drupal 10 (10.4–10.6) | Supported until end of life; 10.6.x security support ends the week of 7 Dec 2026 | 9 Dec 2026 | 8.1–8.4 | Upgrade to Drupal 11 now |
| Drupal 11 (11.3, 11.4) | Current major; 11.4.x is the current minor; 11.3.x security support ends the week of 7 Dec 2026 | No date announced | 8.3–8.5 (11.3+) | Build here; keep to supported minors |
| Drupal 11.5 | Scheduled for the week of 7 Dec 2026 | To be announced | 8.3–8.5 | Plan the minor update |
| Drupal 12 | Scheduled for release in the week of 7 Dec 2026 | To be announced | 8.5 only, compiled with argon2 | Move from 11 when your modules support it |

deliverables, in writing
Included in every build, written into your fixed quote before work starts.
FIG 06 · Migration
Drupal migration services
Drupal 7 to 11 is a migration to a new site. Drupal 10 to 11 is an upgrade of the one you have. We plan both from a module and code audit, and keep URLs, redirects and SEO intact.
Drupal 7 → Drupal 11
- How
- A new Drupal 11 site; content moved with the Migrate API
- Rebuild
- Theme in Twig and SDC; modules audited and replaced
- Keep
- URLs, redirects and metadata
Drupal 10 → Drupal 11
- Check
- Upgrade Status on every module and theme
- Fix
- Deprecated code, partly automated with Drupal Rector
- When
- Before 9 Dec 2026, when Drupal 10 reaches end of life
WordPress or another CMS → Drupal
- Why
- Complex content models, permissions or multilingual needs
- How
- Content model first, then scripted imports
Drupal → WordPress, when it fits
- When
- A simple site with few editors and no complex permissions
- Fair
- We build both, so we recommend the one that fits
Drupal 7 Extended Security Support
- What
- Paid security patches for Drupal 7 from listed vendors (HeroDevs, Tag1 Consulting)
- Use
- As a bridge while the migration is built
Taking over from another agency
- First
- Code, module and configuration audit
- Then
- A written plan and fixed quote
FIG 07 · Headless
Headless Drupal
Keep Drupal for editors, permissions and content modeling, and put a fast front end in front of it. Headless (decoupled) Drupal fits sites with an app, several front ends or demanding performance goals.
04principles
JSON:API
Drupal core’s JSON:API module exposes your content without custom endpoints.
GraphQL
The GraphQL contrib module when front ends need tailored queries.
Next.js front ends
Server-rendered Next.js front ends on Drupal content, with previews for editors.
React and Next.js development
FIG 08 · Support
Drupal support and maintenance
A Drupal site stays safe only while core, modules and PHP stay on supported versions. We keep all three current, in a patch window agreed in your written scope.
05principles
Security advisories
Drupal Security Team advisories for core and contrib modules, applied and tested on staging first.
Core minor updates
Each Drupal 11 minor applied before the previous one loses security support.
PHP upgrades
PHP moved to a supported version with your host, ready for Drupal 12’s PHP 8.5 requirement.
Monitoring and backups
Uptime, error logs, backups and restore tests.
Website maintenance
How our maintenance plans work, for Drupal and other platforms.

FIG 10 · Quality
Speed, SEO and accessibility
Public sector, university and nonprofit sites carry accessibility duties and big content estates. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA and Core Web Vitals targets, and keep SEO intact through every migration.
05principles
Core Web Vitals
Caching, image styles and lean themes for good LCP, INP and CLS.
WCAG 2.2 AA
Accessible themes and editor guidance, as a delivery target, not a certificate.

Dedicated Drupal developers vs team extension vs fixed-scope project
We don’t publish rates. This is how the three ways to work with Drupal developers compare.
| Dedicated developer | Team extension | Fixed-scope project | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | A steady backlog on one site or platform | A migration, an upgrade or a backlog spike | A defined build or migration |
| Who manages the work | You, in your sprint | You, with our lead | Us, against a written scope |
| How it is priced | Monthly, per developer | Monthly, per team | One fixed quote |
| Code and IP | Yours | Yours | Yours |

FAQ
Frequently asked questions

We don’t publish prices. The cost depends on your Drupal version, the volume of content, how many custom modules and integrations you have, and whether you need a new theme. After a free call and an audit of your site, you get a written scope and a fixed quote.
