Partnerships / Drupal

Drupal development services from a team that helps build Drupal.

Enterprise Drupal builds, Drupal 7 and legacy CMS migration, version upgrades, decoupled front ends, and long-run support. Deep in Drupal since 2005, with 150+ engineers and a Premium Supporting Partner seat at the Drupal Association.

Today, the organizations that lead on Drupal are those that treat it as a platform to build on, not a CMS to bolt onto. That is where Axelerant and Drupal come together.

As a Premium Supporting Partner of the Drupal Association and a founding member of the Drupal India Association, we bring deep experience building trusted, scalable Drupal platforms, migrating legacy estates onto them, and contributing back to core so what we build for one client strengthens the platform for everyone.

Whatever your Drupal goals are, from a phased migration to a decoupled rebuild to a multi-brand consolidation, a team that knows Drupal from the core out is well equipped to support your journey.

The philosophy
Most Drupal problems are not Drupal problems. They are architecture, alignment, and scale problems.

Teams rarely struggle with Drupal itself. They struggle with what surrounds it: an aging Drupal 7 or legacy CMS overdue to move, a build so customized every upgrade is a fight, and front ends bolted on in ways that fight the CMS instead of using it.

We approach Drupal from the inside. Because we know the core and contribute to it, we build so upgrades stay clean, migrate legacy platforms in phases that keep the site running, and stand up decoupled front ends that use Drupal as a proper content backend, not a workaround.

What we build with Drupal

What we build with Drupal.

Seven tracks of Drupal work, from enterprise builds and phased migrations to decoupled front ends and multi-brand consolidation. Each shaped by two decades of contribution to the project itself.

Service

Enterprise Drupal builds

Complex, integrated platforms engineered on modern Drupal, built so editors will actually use them and engineers won't quietly fork them in year two.

Stacks we ship

Drupal 11 · Layout Builder · Next.js · GraphQL · Redis

Service

Replatforming and migration

Moving legacy CMSes and end-of-life Drupal onto modern Drupal, in phases that keep the site running and protect SEO, editorial workflow, and content history.

Stacks we ship

from Drupal 7 · WordPress · Sitecore · AEM · SharePoint

Service

Drupal upgrades

Keeping platforms current and upgrade-ready, not frozen. Because we contribute to core, we build so future major versions land as an upgrade, not a rebuild.

Stacks we ship

Drupal 10/11 · Rector · Upgrade Status · Composer · GitHub Actions

Service

Decoupled and headless Drupal

Drupal as a proper content backend behind Next.js, TanStack, or native front ends, using the CMS the way it was designed instead of fighting it.

Stacks we ship

Next-Drupal · JSON:API · GraphQL · Next.js · TanStack Start

Service

Module development and contribution

Custom modules where the ecosystem does not cover it, and fixes given back to the project so what we build for one client strengthens the platform for everyone.

Stacks we ship

Drupal.org · Composer · PHPUnit · Behat · Drupal Rector

Service

Multi-site on Drupal

Shared codebases across many sites and brands, with governed variation for content, design, and workflow, engineered so a change in one site does not silently break another.

Stacks we ship

Drupal multi-site · Acquia Site Factory · Composer · Terraform

Service

Integrations

Connecting Drupal to CRM, commerce, search, data, and identity systems so the platform stops being an island and starts being the editorial layer of the business.

Stacks we ship

Salesforce · HubSpot · Segment · Algolia · Okta · Kafka

Drupal questions

What teams ask before they start.

Straight answers on scope, timelines, versions, and taking over an existing build.

What Drupal development services does Axelerant offer?
Enterprise Drupal builds, Drupal 7 and legacy CMS migration, Drupal 10 and 11 upgrades, decoupled and headless Drupal with Next.js, custom module development and contribution, multi-site and multi-brand consolidation, integrations, and long-run support and maintenance.
How long does a Drupal migration take?
A single-site Drupal 7 to Drupal 11 migration typically runs 8 to 16 weeks. Large multi-site estates run in phases, with the first site live inside a quarter and the remainder sequenced behind it so publishing never stops.
How much does enterprise Drupal development cost?
Discovery and architecture engagements usually start in the low tens of thousands. Full platform builds and migrations are scoped after a two to three week discovery, so the number reflects your content model, integrations, and governance rather than a template estimate.
Can you take over an existing Drupal site from another agency?
Yes. We start with a codebase and infrastructure audit, document what we inherit, stabilize the release pipeline, then move onto a roadmap. Transitions of live Drupal platforms are a standard part of our support work.
Do you support Drupal 10 and Drupal 11?
Yes. We build on Drupal 11, upgrade Drupal 9 and 10 platforms, and because we contribute to core we build so the next major version lands as an upgrade rather than a rebuild.
Which hosting platforms do you work with?
Acquia, Pantheon, Platform.sh, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. We are also an Acquia partner, so Acquia Cloud and Site Factory programs are familiar ground.

Planning a Drupal build or migration?

Whether you are moving off an aging platform, upgrading a build that has become hard to change, or going decoupled, we bring Drupal depth most teams cannot.
