Drupal 11 Migration: Have your site migrated by a specialized agency
bluedrop.fr supports companies, institutions, and organizations in migrating their sites to Drupal 11. We handle the audit of the existing site, compatibility of modules and custom code, migration of content and configuration, testing, SEO, and going live.
Why migrate to Drupal 11?
Migrating to Drupal 11 allows you to keep your site on a maintained, secure, and sustainable version. Conversely, staying on an unsupported version of Drupal exposes you to several risks:
- Security risk: lack of security updates increases exposure to vulnerabilities and cyberattacks.
- Obsolescence risk : your version of Drupal, its modules, or its technical environment may gradually become incompatible with current technologies and infrastructures.
- Financial risk : maintaining an obsolete environment may require workarounds, custom developments, or infrastructure configurations that are more expensive than an early migration.
Drupal 7 is no longer supported as of January 2025, and Drupal 10 will reach end of life on December 9, 2026. Migrating to Drupal 11 therefore allows you to plan ahead for these deadlines rather than facing an emergency migration.
Migration is also an opportunity to review your modules, custom code, content, and site performance, in order to start anew on a lasting technical foundation.
What type of migration for your site?
Wherever you are starting from, we assess the path to Drupal 11.
This is a complex migration that usually requires a site rebuild and migration of data, content, and features.
Analysis of intermediate versions, modules, and deprecated APIs before defining the migration path.
Migration generally more straightforward, subject to the compatibility of the site, modules, and specific code.
If the project involves leaving WordPress, Joomla, a proprietary CMS, or another solution, it is more of a platform migration / redesign than a Drupal update.

How does a migration to Drupal 11 work?
We start by auditing the existing setup: Drupal version, modules, custom code, content, integrations, and SEO challenges. We then define the migration strategy, carry out developments and data migration, and perform testing before going live. bluedrop.fr can also provide maintenance and updates for the site after its migration.
Frequently Asked Questions About Drupal 11 Migration
A Drupal 11 migration must integrate SEO from the preparation stage. We identify the URLs to retain, implement the necessary 301 redirects, and ensure that metadata, internal linking, and structured data are preserved. After going live, we particularly monitor 404 errors, indexing, and any potential traffic losses.
The cost mainly depends on the current version of Drupal, the amount of content, the number of modules and custom developments, integrations with your information system, multilingual support, and any possible graphic redesign. A preliminary audit allows for assessing the complexity of the project and for establishing an estimate tailored to your site.
The duration depends heavily on the complexity of the site. A migration from Drupal 10 to Drupal 11 can be relatively straightforward when the modules and code are compatible. A migration from Drupal 7 or a highly customized site generally requires more work. The audit makes it possible to define a realistic schedule.
bluedrop.fr is a Drupal specialist agency that has been supporting companies, institutions, and organizations for many years on complex Drupal projects: migration, upgrading, redesign, multisite, and maintenance.
Our experience is based on real-world projects, such as the multisite platform for the STEF Group, the evolution and migration of Elior Group's factory sites, as well as projects carried out for the Bordeaux National Opera, JobToMove, Babilou Family US, La Méridionale, and Toulon Provence Méditerranée Metropolis. These achievements allow us to tackle the challenges that make a migration complex : specific modules, content, multisite, integrations, SEO, accessibility, and data recovery.
We can support you from auditing your current system to going live, then ensure the maintenance and development of your Drupal 11 site.
No, a technical migration does not necessarily involve a graphic redesign. It is possible to keep all or part of the existing design and user experience. However, the migration can be an opportunity to modernize the front-end, accessibility, performance, or certain components if that is relevant to the project.
