Drupal 10 to 11 upgrade and Drupal site takeover

Compatibility audit, upgrade and takeover of your existing Drupal site, before and after Drupal 10 reaches end of life on 9 December 2026.

Drupal 10 reaches end of life on 9 December 2026. After that date, core gets no more security fixes.

Our guide sets out the official Drupal 10 end-of-life timeline. We audit your site, upgrade it to Drupal 11, take over Drupal sites left by another vendor and migrate Drupal 7 or 9 sites. We work with banks and insurers in Morocco and with companies in France, and can support teams elsewhere in Europe, through a nearshore team based in Casablanca.

Drupal 10 ends on 9 December 2026: where does your site stand?

Your site runs a recent Drupal 10

On 10.3 or later, the move to Drupal 11 is an in-place upgrade, not a rebuild. The audit tells you how many modules and how much code need work.

Start with the audit

Your site runs an old or heavily customised Drupal 10

It first needs to reach 10.3 at least, with deprecated code fixed. We quote this batch separately, before the upgrade.

See the upgrade package

Your site runs Drupal 7 or Drupal 9

Drupal 9 takes two steps. Drupal 7 needs a migration, meaning a rebuild of the site on Drupal 11.

See Drupal 7 and 9 migration

Your vendor has gone or the site is unstable

We take over the site: access, backups, security, then the upgrade to Drupal 11.

See site takeover

Our packages

Four packages, from the audit to a full migration. Depending on scope, the upgrade is quoted as a fixed price after the audit or delivered on a time and materials basis: our terms of sale provide for both models.

Drupal 11 compatibility audit

Goal: know exactly what blocks the move to Drupal 11 and what the upgrade will cost.

Deliverables

Inventory of contributed and custom modules, with their Drupal 11 status
Upgrade Status report with our comments
Hosting gaps: PHP, database, web server
Firm quote for the upgrade and a switch plan

Duration: [TO PROVIDE: duration of the compatibility audit in working days]
Starting price: [TO PROVIDE: audit price excluding VAT in EUR and MAD, and whether it is deducted from the upgrade]

To measure SEO and performance before and after the switch, our SEO and performance audit (Express Diagnostic, MAD 8,000 excluding VAT, about €730, online price) complements the compatibility audit. It is a web audit, not a review of your Drupal code.

Plan my upgrade

Takeover of an existing Drupal site

Your vendor has changed, disappeared or stopped answering? We apply our four-step application maintenance takeover process to Drupal.

Audit of the existing site: access, code repository and backups, then a review of code, modules and security.
Knowledge transfer: handover with the outgoing team when possible, documentation, environments.
Stabilisation: immediate security updates, monitoring, priority fixes.
Run: maintenance under an SLA, then the upgrade to Drupal 11.

Duration and price: [TO PROVIDE: duration and starting price excluding VAT of the takeover phase (audit, handover, stabilisation), in EUR and MAD]

Hand over your Drupal site to us

Migration from Drupal 7 or Drupal 9

Drupal 9: two steps, first Drupal 10.3 at least, then Drupal 11.
Drupal 7, end of life since 5 January 2025: a migration to Drupal 11, meaning a rebuild. Migration plan, field mapping and content migration with the Migrate API, 301 redirects, SEO parity and a secure switch.

We target Drupal 11: the Migrate Drupal and Migrate Drupal UI modules, used to bring over a Drupal 7 site, are removed from Drupal 12 core (drupal.org). Price: quoted after the audit, as the scope depends on the content model and the features to rebuild.

After the upgrade: maintenance and Drupal 12 readiness

An upgrade does not settle the matter for years. Each Drupal minor release is supported for only one year (drupal.org), and Drupal 12 will require a site on 11.3 or later and PHP 8.5. Our application maintenance service keeps the site on a supported release.

Security and minor-release updates, tested before production.
SLA by severity: [TO PROVIDE: response and resolution times for P1, P2 and P3 incidents, business hours or 24/7]
Maintenance reports drafted by an AI agent in about 5 minutes instead of 2 to 4 hours, always checked by a person.
Drupal 12 preparation in 2027, with no rush.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a Drupal 10 to 11 upgrade and a Drupal 7 to 11 migration?

An upgrade keeps the site: same content, same URLs, with the code updated through Composer. A migration from Drupal 7 rebuilds the site on Drupal 11 and moves the content with the Migrate API, with 301 redirects. It is a rebuild project.

Can we still upgrade before 9 December 2026?

It depends on your site profile and internal constraints, such as a year-end release freeze. The compatibility audit will tell you. If the date cannot hold, plan B is to stay on the latest 10.6.x release, harden the site and set a firm date in the first quarter of 2027.

How much does a Drupal 11 upgrade cost?

The price depends on modules without a Drupal 11 release, custom code, the theme, integrations and hosting. Starting prices by site profile: [TO PROVIDE: starting prices excluding VAT, in EUR and MAD, for an up-to-date corporate site, a multilingual or multisite portal, a headless or transactional platform]. The firm quote comes out of the audit.

Can you take over a Drupal site built by another vendor?

Yes. We follow four steps: audit of the existing site, knowledge transfer, stabilisation, then ongoing maintenance. We start by securing access, the code repository and verified backups.

Will the site go down during the switch?

The switch happens in a window agreed with you, with a database and files backup and a rollback ready. Any downtime depends on your hosting and data volume: we measure it during the rehearsal in the test environment.

Who handles hosting and PHP 8.3?

If the site is hosted by you or a hosting provider, we send them the prerequisites (PHP 8.3 or 8.4, database version) and check the environment before the switch. If VOID hosts the site on AWS as a managed service: [TO PROVIDE: whether the PHP 8.3 upgrade is included in the upgrade price].

Do you work with companies in Europe?

Yes. Our team works from Casablanca, on Paris working hours (0 to 1 hour time difference depending on the season). Since 2018 we have supported the multisite Drupal portal of Elsan, a French private hospital group that federates 140 healthcare facilities.

What happens after the upgrade?

A 30-day warranty on blocking defects, under article 9.1 of our French terms of sale (void.ma/cgv/, in French). Then, if you wish, maintenance under an SLA keeps the site on a supported minor release and prepares Drupal 12.
