Our Approach
Sitecore to Drupal Migration: Our Proven Process
01
Audit
Comprehensive Sitecore content inventory led by a senior sitecore to drupal migration consultant — mapping every content type, template, media asset, personalisation rule, and integration point. We assess content health, identify redundancies, and define the migration scope.
02
Map
Translate Sitecore's content architecture to Drupal equivalents — templates become content types, rendering variants become view modes, experience profiles map to Drupal personalisation modules, and URL structures are preserved with redirect rules.
03
Build
Construct the Drupal destination environment — custom theme development, content type configuration, taxonomy setup, editorial workflow design, and integration with existing enterprise systems like CRM and marketing automation platforms.
04
Migrate
Execute automated content migration using custom Drupal Migrate API scripts — transferring pages, media, metadata, multilingual content, and user accounts in staged batches with validation checkpoints after each phase.
05
Launch
Production cutover with zero downtime — DNS switchover, 301 redirect activation, search engine re-indexing, performance load testing, and a 30-day hypercare period. When you hire sitecore to drupal migration developers from us, you get dedicated support for post-launch issues.

A typical Sitecore to Drupal migration takes 3 to 6 months depending on content volume, custom integrations, and personalisation complexity. Small sites with under 5,000 pages can be migrated in 8 to 12 weeks, while enterprise platforms with 50,000+ pages, multilingual content, and complex personalisation may require 6 to 9 months.
No. Our sitecore migration services include comprehensive SEO preservation — URL auditing, automatic 301 redirect generation, metadata migration, canonical tag mapping, and XML sitemap rebuilding. We monitor organic traffic throughout the transition and provide a 30-day post-launch SEO health report to confirm zero ranking loss.
Yes. Drupal's personalisation ecosystem — including Smart Content, Acquia Personalization, and contrib modules — can replicate most Sitecore personalisation scenarios. We map your existing experience profiles, audience segments, and content rules to Drupal equivalents, ensuring targeted content delivery continues after migration.
All media assets — images, documents, videos, and DAM-managed files — are migrated to Drupal's Media Library with full metadata preservation. We maintain folder structures, alt text, usage references, and responsive image configurations so your content displays correctly from day one.
Most enterprises save $150K to $300K annually by eliminating Sitecore licensing fees, reducing hosting costs through open-source infrastructure, and lowering maintenance overhead. The Sitecore to Drupal migration typically pays for itself within 12 to 18 months through licensing savings alone.
Yes. We map Sitecore's workflow states, approval chains, and role-based permissions to Drupal's Content Moderation and Workflows modules. Your editorial team retains familiar publishing controls — draft, review, approve, publish — with equivalent or improved governance capabilities.
Absolutely. Drupal has best-in-class multilingual support built into core. We migrate all language versions, translation relationships, and locale-specific content from Sitecore's versioning system to Drupal's native multilingual architecture — preserving hreflang tags and language-specific URLs.
Drupal is the strongest Sitecore alternative for enterprises requiring complex content modelling, granular access control, and government-grade security. Unlike WordPress, Drupal handles deeply structured content and custom entities natively. Unlike Strapi, Drupal provides a mature editorial experience with built-in workflows, multilingual support, and a 20-year enterprise track record.
