Everything about Specbee: our story, our people, our thinking
Migrate, upgrade, or replatform faster with our AI-orchestrated Drupal migration services. Every decision designed, reviewed, and validated by senior Drupal migration experts.
A bad migration costs more than a rebuild. It costs rankings, editorial trust, and months your team doesn't have.
That's usually when organizations planning a move to Drupal call in a Drupal migration company that treats the risk as seriously as the outcome.
We're typically brought in when:
Current Drupal version no longer supports long-term stability.
A previous migration left broken features or mismatched content.
Redirects, metadata, and rankings got treated as an afterthought last time.
Migration decisions were made without senior technical sign-off.
The team that handled the move disappeared right after launch.
Drupal 11 is the current release, with a longer support window, better tooling, and a clear upgrade path. Whatever version or CMS you're on now, we'll migrate your site to Drupal 11 without putting your SEO rankings or roadmap at risk.
Drupal 7 reached end-of-life in January 2025. Our Drupal migration services rebuild what needs rebuilding and carry forward everything that still works.
No incremental hops. Our Drupal upgrade services take Drupal 8 sites straight to 11 on one structured plan.
End-of-life since November 2023. We get Drupal 9 sites onto a supported release without derailing the roadmap.
Still supported, but 11 is where the tooling, performance, and long-term support window are headed.
WordPress, DNN, Sitecore, AEM, Joomla, or something else. Our Drupal website migration services move you onto Drupal without losing what your team already built.
Move onto Acquia's managed Drupal platform, with hosting, upgrades, and maintenance in one package. We migrate your content and integrations, then configure Source CMS around how your team publishes.
We help teams migrate from a wide range of platforms to Drupal 11 while preserving content & SEO rankings, improving architecture, and setting up a foundation that’s easier to manage and grow.
When growing organizations outgrow WordPress and need stronger architecture, security, and enterprise capabilities.
Move off a Windows-and-.NET stack onto open source, with lower hosting costs and the editorial flexibility DNN's framework holds back.
Migrate from costly proprietary platforms to a flexible open-source stack without losing personalization or marketing power.
For organizations looking to reduce licensing costs while keeping a powerful digital experience platform.
Rebuild aging Joomla sites on a platform that offers stronger security, scalability, and editorial workflows.
Migrating from SharePoint to Drupal helps organizations deliver better web experiences while keeping strong integrations with Microsoft tools like Office 365 and Azure.
If your current system was built in-house or by a previous vendor, we can migrate your content, data models, and integrations to Drupal.
Modernize outdated websites and bring content management, SEO, and personalization into one platform.
A Drupal migration rarely stays just a migration. The move raises multiple concerns. The new architecture opens the door to new features. The launch needs someone watching it afterward. Our clients usually start with a Drupal upgrade services engagement and discover the second one mid-project.
So we've built the adjacent disciplines in-house. Same team, same context, no re-explaining your platform to a new vendor.
A modernized platform is a better build platform. Once you're on solid ground, new custom modules, integrations, and features ship faster.
Every migration touches your rankings. Our SEO/AEO/GEO team works inside the migration process, so search equity gets protected while the platform changes.
A migrated Drupal site is AI-ready by design. We add AI where it earns its keep: search, linking, and editorial workflows.
The team that migrated your platform is the best one to keep it running. Most of our migration engagements roll into long-term support.
Trusted by the world's leading teams
From first audit to final test, our process stays clear and consistent, built for teams who've been burned by fragmented migrations before. Our AI orchestration system absorbs the mechanical weight of the move, so our senior migration architects spend their hours on judgment calls, not busywork.
We start by mapping your site's features, modules, content types, and content views. Our AI framework covers this ground fast, flagging every dependency a manual audit could miss. A senior migration architect reviews the findings and signs off on the migration strategy before a single page moves.
We rebuild your content structure and replicate every feature on Drupal 11's architecture. Our architects decide how version jumps, CMS switches, and custom code get handled. The AI orchestration system executes that plan; it never improvises its own. Regression testing starts here, not after launch.
Legacy content gets rebuilt inside Drupal's content structure. Every piece of content and every asset gets imported and validated against the original. Nothing moves without a data integrity check behind it.
Migrated data goes through sanity and integrity checks first. Every replicated feature clears smoke and load testing under real traffic conditions. Security checks close out the process because a migration that skips them isn't finished.

A Drupal migration involves moving your digital content from an old website to a new one. You might have an older Drupal website or one built on a Content Management System (CMS) such as Wordpress, Joomla, AEM, or Sitecore. Either way, migrating to the latest version of Drupal is always a good decision. It works by using migration scripts and tools provided by Drupal core or contributed modules. These scripts map the data from the old site to the new one, specifying how to handle differences in content types, fields, and other structures.
A migration to Drupal 11 offers many benefits. Drupal has embraced continuous improvement since the release of Drupal 8, which means you'll benefit from ongoing enhancements and security updates. Drupal 11 provides improved performance, better accessibility, and enhanced developer tools, making it a solid choice for your web projects. Plus, it ensures long-term support and compatibility. It's always a wise move to stay up-to-date with Drupal versions.
Every website is unique. The cost of a Drupal migration can vary widely depending on factors like the complexity of your current site, what version you currently are on, the amount of data to migrate, and the specific features you need. While we can provide some figures, it's important to note that the cost range can vary significantly, making it less informative for your specific situation. It's best to get a tailored quote from a Drupal development company based on your project's unique requirements. You can start by getting a FREE migration audit, which also includes a free quote!
While we would love to say \"No way!\" to this one, it really depends on the complexity of your current CMS setup, the structure and the way the version was implemented on your website. Custom modules often require rebuilding since Drupal 11 is based on the Symfony framework and follows Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles. Additionally, themes will need redevelopment due to the introduction of the new template engine since Drupal 8, Twig. To minimize the risk of losing features or content, thorough planning, and testing are essential. It's recommended to work with Drupal experts who can assess your specific situation and ensure a smooth migration process.
With every new version release, Drupal has made significant strides in enhancing its compatibility and integrations with third-party software. Since the inclusion of web services in Drupal core, the creation of RESTful APIs is not only straightforward but also rapid. This capability is incredibly valuable when it comes to establishing seamless connections with a multitude of third-party applications. Furthermore, Drupal has now expanded its array of integration modules, further enhancing its versatility.
Upgrading from Drupal 9/10 to Drupal 11 is designed to be a smoother transition compared to previous major version upgrades. The Drupal community has put an emphasis on backward compatibility to make the process more straightforward. Generally, if your site is well-maintained and up-to-date with Drupal 9 best practices, the upgrade to Drupal 11 should be really easy. It's important to assess your site's specific requirements and consult with Drupal experts for a tailored migration plan to ensure a smooth and trouble-free transition. Take a look at what our Drupal expert panel has to say in this video.
If your previous (or current) Drupal development partner hasn't paid much attention to the minute details of your site architecture, content structure, upgrade paths of your modules, strategic custom code migration, library version updates, permissions, performance, and more, your website will run into problems sooner or later. We have written a detailed article on how you can tackle these issues yourself but it would be recommended to look for Drupal experts to rescue your bad migration.
After 14 years of service, the Drupal association has announced that Drupal 7 EOL (End of Life) will be on January 5, 2025. Drupal 7 core, modules, and themes will no longer receive security support, advisories or community support from the Drupal Security Team and the community. Specbee is an official Certified Drupal Migration Partner for the Drupal Association.
Drupal 9 EOL (End of Life) will be on November 1st, 2023. This was timed to be a year after the release of Drupal 10. Because Drupal 9 is dependent on Symfony framework, Drupal 9 EOL has been timed to end support when Symfony version 7 reaches EOL. Specbee is an official Certified Drupal Migration Partner for the Drupal Association.
