Drupal Migration & Upgrade Services Melbourne

Drupal Upgrade and Drupal Rebuild

Your dedication team from planning to post migration

Moving from legacy systems requires a full architectural rebuild because Drupal 8, 9, 10, and 11 rely on modern frameworks like Symfony, Twig, and Composer. Content and configuration must be safely move d across using Drupal's core Migrate API, rather than being upgraded in place: and this is where we come in.

A Drupal migration is a rebuild, not a "click to upgrade"

As an Australian-based Drupal agency, we guide local councils, government agencies, not-for-profits, and enterprise teams through complex Drupal migrations. So if you’re currently running Drupal 7 (end of life in January 2025) or Drupal 10 (end of life on 9 December 2026), you might be looking for a simple “click to upgrade" button. But here’s the reality: there’s no direct upgrade path to Drupal 11.

Why patching alone isn’t enough

Unfortunately, patching only keeps your Drupal site live. As your Drupal partner, our ongoing management is what truly gets your site working for your business, not just surviving online. We can evolve your Drupal platform over time, improve user experience, add the right features, and help the right people land on the right page at the right time to convert.

Drupal 7 to 11 Migrations

Staying current is vital for security, compliance, and performance. Moving to Drupal 11 isn’t as easy as clicking a button – it’s a whole site rebuild. Drupal 7 community support officially ended in January 2025, so if your site is still running on Drupal 7, you must plan to migrate as soon as possible. And if you’re on Drupal 10, EOL is set to happen on 9 December 2026, so reach out and let’s start your move ahead of that date.

Drupal 8 Migrations

To start, we’ll audit your current website architecture, outdated modules, database bloat, and custom code, looking for any technical risks. From there, we’ll map out a structured path for transitioning your content safely to a more up to date platform.

Drupal 9 Migrations

Most vendors stop at the technical minimums, but we believe your website should evolve with your business. Our monthly Drupal support and maintenance goes beyond core updates and patching to deliver iterative growth: from dev and design, to CRO and accessibility (WCAG) compliance, to ongoing feature rollout.

WordPress to Drupal Migrations

We bridge the gap between routine maintenance and proactive growth as your all inclusive team of web designers and developers. We’ll handle core updates, architecture planning, and seamless content migration.

Joomla to Drupal migrations

Mapping redirects to preserve existing SEO value, transitioning legacy content types, and structuring modern, scalable entity architectures in Drupal.

Sitecore to drupal migration

Designed the site to comply with WCAG standards, ensuring inclusivity for users with visual, motor, or cognitive impairments, while eliminating heavy enterprise licensing overhead.

Thank you to Paula and the team!

HELEN ARMSTRONG

Working with Pixel Storm has been a godsend. No longer do we have to stress about anything technically related whether it be anything SEO or socials that don’t work, won’t start or we don’t understand! Best of all they are an Australian based team with a REAL office, so we know that they are not going to disappear overnight, which has happened to us in the past. They just get on and do and fix ‘stuff’ without drama We had very limited understanding or knowledge of SEO when we first worked with PS . They explain technical ‘stuff’ in lay persons terms, without jargon so we can understand what needs to be done. Our rankings in Google have improved so much since we stated work with PS three years ago, As an SME, can’t recommend Paula and the PS team highly enough, they have made our lives so much easier.

Rebecca Miller

Pixelstorm is an outstanding digital marketing agency! Under Paula's great leadership, they have forged strong, collaborative relationships with our marketing and business development teams, elevating our online presence. Since partnering with Pixelstorm in August 2023, we've seen remarkable growth in website traffic and a significant increase in quality leads. This success is a direct result of their expert SEO strategies and highly targeted LinkedIn ad campaigns. Their work has made a tangible impact on our business, we would highly recommend their SEO and social media services.

Emma Halloran

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to Paula and the team at Pixelstorm for the fantastic work and service they provided on the development of the PR Toolkit. The site looks fantastic, and there expertise on SEO was invaluable. The level of service from the team is always so high and I would strongly recommend this agency to other organisations. Congratulations on another great project!

John David Olsen

After searching worldwide for a web development company, we settled on Pixelstorm in Melbourne, Victoria. Not only did they have a great pitch, but they delivered a solution bursting with creativity and passion. And notably, on time and budget. I enjoyed working with the team; they were very responsive to feedback as we moved along through the project. Changes can be expensive and difficult to manage, though they inevitably come up in any project. The team at Pixelstorm had a very suitable approach to sorting this out along the way. We could not have been more pleased with the results of the finished project. Feedback has been fantastic, and the response to the new design has been exceptionally well received. The site was even a finalist in the Australian Web Awards in the non-profit category. We will certainly use Pixelstorm on future projects, and I look forward to working with the team again. I highly recommend them for their quality of work, dedication, and continuous engagement. To paraphrase Clementine Churchill, 'It's not just a website... it's a triumph!'
