How Does Our Drupal To WordPress
Migration Service Work?
A successful Drupal to WordPress migration has two parts. Firstly, exporting all content from Drupal and importing it to WordPress. Secondly, rebuilding the old website in terms of design and functionality on WordPress.
Rebuilding Your Drupal Website In WordPress
The first part of the Drupal to WordPress migration process is to rebuild your existing website in WordPress. This means matching the existing design of your site, and also ensuring the functionality you currently have is replicated correctly.
Content Mapping
The second, and most important, part of the process is mapping all of the content from your Drupal site into your new WordPress site. This means making sure that all of your pages, posts, images and links are migrated to the new site, and into their correct locations within your site structure.
Testing & Going Live
Once your new site is built, and the content has been mapped, it's time to test it before going live. It's important to make sure that all of your pages, posts, images and links exist, and that there are no errors with them. There should also be testing of your site structure, meta data and functionality - making sure things like contact forms work, and that the website is SEO optimised like your old site. We can also provide ongoing WordPress support .

Migration Checklist
- When migrating from Drupal to WordPress, its important that you have a staging environment to manage the process away from your customers and so that your live website unaffected. This way, the work can be complete without disrupting the day to day operation of your business, until you're ready to push the new WordPress site live.
- Use a spreadsheet or checklist to ensure that all pages, posts, images and downloadable content has been migrated correctly
- Check that the design and functionality matches up between your two sites
- Use "view source" on each page or post to check that your meta data has been set correctly
- For SEO, check that your new site is using the same URL prefix as your old site, for example if you weren't using www in front of your URLs on the old site, make sure the new one keeps the same structure
- Make sure you copy over any scripts used for tracking or marketing, for example Google Analytics, so that none of your third party services stop working when the new site goes live
