Drupal 11 migration: plan before code
The first task in a Drupal migration is usually not writing code. The first task is understanding what exists and what the business depends on.
What to assess first
- which modules are critical and whether they have an upgrade path;
- which content types, fields and views are actually used;
- which API connections or manual workflows depend on older logic;
- which design or accessibility issues should be fixed at the same time;
- which automated tests must exist before the move.
Good migration reduces surprises
When risks are mapped first, the work can be split into smaller steps. This makes scope easier to estimate, keeps the public website stable and avoids turning the migration into uncontrolled rebuilding.
The WebPro Drupal scanner gives a first view of the site's current state based on public signals. For a deeper look, our technical audit service helps map risks and plan the work. The Drupal migration service covers planning and carrying out the move to a newer version.
