CMS Development

Upgrading Drupal 7 or Joomla 3

Drupal 7 and Joomla 3 no longer receive community security updates. Sites still running them are exposed to known vulnerabilities and often cannot run on current PHP versions. We audit your site, decide with you whether to upgrade on the same platform or move to WordPress, then migrate content, users and media and redirect every old URL so you keep your search rankings.

CMS Development

Which CMS is right for you?

  • WordPress

    Best for marketing sites, blogs and WooCommerce stores; easiest for editors, with the largest plugin ecosystem.

  • Drupal

    Best for large, structured, multilingual or permission-heavy sites such as universities, government and membership portals.

  • Joomla

    A good fit for existing Joomla sites and community portals; we usually upgrade rather than rebuild.

  • Headless

    Best when content must feed a website, apps and other channels from one place.

FAQ

CMS Development questions, answered.

Ask an engineer
Can you migrate my Joomla or Drupal site to WordPress?
Yes. We migrate pages, posts, users, media and custom fields, rebuild the design and set up 301 redirects so your search rankings are protected.
My site runs on Drupal 7 or Joomla 3. What should I do?
Both are end-of-life. We recommend an audit followed by an upgrade to Drupal 10/11 or Joomla 5, or a migration to WordPress if that suits your team better.
Do you build custom WordPress plugins and Drupal modules?
Yes. We build custom plugins and modules following each platform's coding standards, with documentation and update support.
Do you offer CMS maintenance plans?
Yes. Care plans include core and plugin updates, backups, security monitoring, uptime checks and a set number of small changes each month, for a fixed monthly fee from $1,500.
How much does a CMS website cost?
CMS website cost depends on the platform, number of templates, custom modules, integrations, languages and how much content needs migrating. We do not sell hours. A fixed-price assessment (from $1,500) defines scope, then we build in milestone projects with a fixed price per milestone, paid when accepted. Existing sites can be supported through a care plan from $1,500 a month.
Should I choose WordPress, Drupal or Joomla?
WordPress suits most marketing sites and blogs because editing is simple and plugins are plentiful. Drupal suits large, structured, multilingual or access-controlled sites in government, education and enterprise. Joomla still serves existing community and membership sites but has a smaller ecosystem for new projects. We recommend a platform after reviewing your content, editors and integrations.
Who can migrate a Drupal 7 site now that it is end of life?
Vibidsoft migrates Drupal 7 sites to Drupal 10 or 11, or to WordPress where that suits the team better. Drupal 7 reached end of life in January 2025, so it no longer receives community security updates. We map content types and fields, rebuild custom modules, migrate users and media, and set up redirects to protect search rankings.
How long does a CMS migration take?
A small CMS migration of a brochure site can take three to four weeks, while large sites with many content types, custom modules, users and languages take two to four months. The biggest factors are content structure and custom functionality, not page count. We run test migrations on staging so editors can check content before the final switch.
