Drupal update costs, timeline, and methodology

While planning any project like this, we understand that both budget and schedule are important to you. Drupal sites vary widely, which makes it impossible for us to offer a standard upgrade package. However, we would be happy to evaluate your site and provide a free estimate and timeline. Upon agreement, will lock in our estimate so that you will not need to worry about overages.

Our team has evolved a methodology for efficiently upgrading Drupal 6 websites that follows established best practices, and guarantees clients’ 100% satisfaction.

1. Client contacts us for a free quote
2. We initiate the conversation within 24 hours. Client is provided with a free cost and time estimate, and introduced to their project manager. This project manager will be in constant communication throughout the project cycle.
3. Our team creates a full backup of your current website, and uses this backup to make a complete copy of your website on our server.
4. We run updates on this new copy, following the 19-step upgrade process to update Drupal core and modules. Your publicly visible website remains unchanged at this stage. All content, content organization, and interactive functionality are preserved.
5. We update your theme to be compatible with Drupal 7.
6. The project manager presents the client with a “first-draft” of their new Drupal 7 website. Here we double check that everything is working perfectly, and make any necessary changes before delivering the final version.
7. We launch your new Drupal 7 site!
