Why an old website can be a business risk
An old website is not only a problem when it breaks. Often the real risk is that nobody can change it safely anymore.
What risks accumulate
Security risk is the most visible one, but not the only one. An ageing website can affect sales, recruitment, customer support and legal compliance.
Typical risks include:
- software no longer receives security fixes;
- forms or checkout do not work in all browsers;
- content management depends on one person;
- WCAG requirements are not met;
- a new developer cannot understand the system quickly.
How to choose the next step
Not every old website needs immediate rebuilding. Sometimes maintenance and small fixes are enough. In other cases, it is cheaper to plan migration before the issue becomes an emergency.
WebPro helps choose the path through audit and testing. If the risk is related to Drupal version or modules, Drupal maintenance or migration fits. If the problem is business logic, custom development may be needed.
