Security Patching
Drupal core and contrib module security advisories applied and tested as they’re released — not batched and forgotten. We monitor the Drupal security advisory feed and apply patches on a defined schedule for retainer clients.
Drupal Support & Maintenance
Senior Drupal Support — Without the Enterprise Agency Price Tag.
Security patches applied on time, custom modules maintained and extended, theme customization handled by someone who knows Drupal’s rendering system, and performance kept sharp — for Drupal 9, 10, and 11. Retainer or project-based, senior-level help without the overhead.

Full-scope Drupal support.
Custom Module Development
New custom modules built to Drupal coding standards, or existing custom modules maintained, extended, and debugged. We work with Drupal’s plugin API, hooks, services, and dependency injection properly.
Theme & Design Customization
Twig template modifications, theme layer customization, responsive fixes, and design updates — implemented within Drupal’s rendering pipeline, not hacked around it.
Performance Optimization
Caching configuration (page cache, dynamic page cache, BigPipe), database query optimization, Views performance, and Core Web Vitals improvements specific to Drupal’s architecture.
Content & Editorial Support
Content type configuration, taxonomy management, editorial workflow improvements, and content migration between environments. We make the editing experience better, not just the frontend.
Drupal Migration
Migration from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10/11, or from Drupal to a modern headless stack. We use Drupal’s migrate API for D7-to-D10 migrations and handle URL mapping, redirect setup, and SEO preservation.
Emergency Break-Fix
Site down? White screen of death? Broken update? We diagnose, fix, and verify — fast. Available to retainer and ad hoc clients.
Accessibility Remediation
WCAG 2.1 AA audits and code-level fixes within Drupal’s theme and module layer. Semantic HTML, ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, and screen reader testing — no overlay widgets.
Why Drupal sites need dedicated support.
The security reality
Drupal security advisories don’t wait for a convenient time.
Drupal’s security team publishes advisories on a regular schedule — and when a critical vulnerability drops, the window to patch is measured in hours, not weeks. If you’re running contrib modules (and you are), each one is an additional surface that needs monitoring. A dedicated Drupal developer who understands your specific module stack can assess, apply, and test patches without introducing regressions. That’s what retainer-based support is for.
The module ecosystem
Custom modules need ongoing care, not just initial development.
Custom Drupal modules are built against specific API versions and depend on core and contrib services that change between releases. A module built for Drupal 9 may need updates for Drupal 10 compatibility. A module that works fine on PHP 8.1 may throw deprecation warnings on PHP 8.3. Ongoing module maintenance — compatibility updates, bug fixes, feature extensions — is a normal part of running a Drupal site, not a sign that something was built wrong.
Drupal 7 end of life See our migration service →
Still on Drupal 7? You need a plan.
Drupal 7 reached end of life in January 2025. There are no more official security patches from the Drupal security team. If you’re still running D7, you have two options: migrate to Drupal 10/11, or migrate to a different platform entirely. Either way, you need a developer who can assess your current site, plan the migration, and execute it without losing your SEO equity or breaking your workflows. We do both.
How we work
Getting started with Drupal support.
1
Free Drupal Audit
We review your Drupal site — core version, module versions, security vulnerabilities, custom code quality, performance baseline, and hosting environment. You get a clear report of what needs attention now, what can wait, and what the ongoing maintenance load looks like.
2
Engagement Setup
We define the scope — retainer hours and priorities for ongoing clients, or project scope and timeline for one-off work. Retainer clients get a dedicated Slack channel, defined response times, and a monthly report.
3
Proactive Maintenance
Security advisories monitored and applied, module updates tested and deployed, performance monitored, and a backlog of improvements worked through systematically. Not just keeping the lights on — actively improving.
4
Monthly Reporting
A monthly summary of work completed, security patches applied, site health metrics, and recommendations for the coming month. Migration planning included when relevant.
