Drupal 7 and CiviCRM Migration

⚠ Drupal 7 reached end of life in January 2025

Still on Drupal 7 and CiviCRM? Let’s move you somewhere safe.

Drupal 7 no longer gets official security updates. We migrate Drupal 7 + CiviCRM sites to a supported platform, keeping your contacts, donations, memberships and search rankings intact. Fixed price, UK-based team, former CiviCRM core developers.

Why it matters now

Your site may look fine today, but the risks grow every month it stays on Drupal 7.

No security updatesNew vulnerabilities in Drupal 7 core and modules are no longer fixed by the Drupal project.
Your data is exposedCiviCRM holds names, addresses, payments and Gift Aid records, which is exactly what attackers want.
Hosting and PHP pressureHosts are retiring the older PHP versions Drupal 7 depends on, so you could be forced to move at short notice.
Harder to find helpFewer developers maintain Drupal 7 modules, so fixes get slower and more expensive.

Your options

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. We’ll recommend the route that fits your budget, your team and how you use CiviCRM.

Common questions

Is my Drupal 7 site unsafe right now?

Not necessarily today, but it no longer receives official security fixes, so any newly found weakness stays open. The longer it runs, the higher the risk, especially with personal and payment data in CiviCRM.

Will we lose any CiviCRM data?

No. We migrate contacts, contributions, memberships, events, activities and custom fields, then check the numbers match before going live.

Will our search rankings drop?

We keep your URLs where we can and set up redirects for any that change, so search engines and existing links still find your pages.

How long does a migration take?

Smaller sites can move in as little as 1–2 weeks. Larger or heavily customised sites take longer, and your free review gives you a firm timeline.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the size of the site and how CiviCRM is used. After the free review you’ll get a fixed-price quote, with no surprises later.
