How to choose a Drupal maintenance partner
Drupal maintenance is not just having a developer available in an emergency. It is recurring work that keeps the platform secure, tested and maintainable.
What to ask before signing
A Drupal maintenance provider should understand both Drupal security updates and the client's business process. The question is not only whether someone can write code.
Ask:
- how updates are tested in a staging environment;
- whether the project uses Git and Composer;
- how backups are made before larger changes;
- which tests run before release;
- who is responsible if an update breaks an existing workflow.
Maintenance is a process
A one-off fix can be enough for a small bug. A long-lived Drupal site needs regular review because modules, PHP versions, browsers and security expectations keep changing.
WebPro Drupal maintenance covers security updates, controlled releases and technical advice. If the current state of the site is unclear, start with a technical audit so maintenance does not begin with hidden debt.
