Are you looking to upgrade to Drupal 11?

Still Using Drupal 9 or 10? Here’s What You Should Know

If your website is still running on Drupal 9 or 10, it’s worth knowing that support for Drupal 9 officially ended back in November 2023, and Drupal 10 will reach end-of-life in December 2026. That means no more bug fixes, security patches or updates. It might be ticking along just fine for now — but without that safety net, you’re wide open to problems.

Why Upgrade to Drupal 11?

It’s about more than just replacing outdated software. Each new version of Drupal runs faster, is easier to work with, and has been cleaned up under the hood. Performance is improved, and - most importantly - your site stays protected against security vulnerabilities. Overall, it’s a solid step up from what came before.

You’ll also be building on a stronger, more future-proof setup. That matters if you want your site to keep pace without needing major work again in a year or two.

What’s New in Drupal 11?

• Better speed and responsiveness
• A modern content editor (CKEditor 5)
• A smaller, leaner core
• Improved database efficiency 
• Better media and image handling
• Security enhancements
• and much more.

These changes aren’t just technical. They save time day to day and make managing your site less of a headache.

How Much Will It Cost?

That depends on your site. Some upgrades are straightforward, while others take more time. If your build is fairly standard, the process might be quicker than you’d expect. If it’s been heavily customised, there’s usually a bit more involved.

Start with a Site Audit

Every site is different, so the first step is to take a proper look under the hood. A simple audit shows what’s working well, what needs attention, and how much time and budget are realistically involved. It’s an easy way to avoid surprises and make sure everything’s clear from the start.

Not Sure Where to Begin?

That’s completely normal. We’ve been upgrading Drupal sites for years, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your site needs a full refresh or just a few updates, we’ll talk you through the options — no pressure, no jargon.
