Official Drupal 7 support ended on January 5, 2025 - yet many organizations still run sites on it in 2026. The real question is no longer “should we update?” but what platform you want for the next 5-10 years.

A practical decision guide: rebuild on Drupal 11 or Drupal CMS, migrate content, switch CMS, go static, or buy time with extended support - plus a prep checklist for pricing and board-ready options.

Your Drupal site is on a current version, gets security updates, and technically works - yet editing is painful and every small change waits in a developer queue. The platform is rarely the problem.

Fourteen common implementation mistakes that make a Drupal site feel broken - with symptoms, diagnosis, and fixes for each. Most cost a fraction of a rebuild to put right.

Getting each audience to the right section is only half the job. The harder part is making the experience feel personal and routing every visitor to the right form without a maze of options.

Part 2 of this Drupal guide covers user journeys, smart Webform contact routing, and pragmatic content personalization for multiple audiences.

When a CMS is too hard to use, teams paste text into graphics and upload them as images. The page looks right - but search engines and AI answer engines cannot read that content at all.

See what image-based content costs you in SEO, GEO, accessibility, and day-to-day management - and how structured Drupal components fix it page by page.

If your CMS needs a two-hour training session before anyone can use it, the CMS has a UX problem. The fix is not better training. It is a system that doesn't need any.

See the Drupal admin UX patterns, staging-first handover approach, and how Edenred Polska's marketing team started building production pages with no formal training at all.

The real deliverable of a component-based CMS is not the paragraphs. It is the moment your client stops asking for "a new page" and starts asking for "a new component."

See the four phases of the component mindset shift, what changes in the agency relationship, and how Edenred Polska went from planning to abandon Drupal to commissioning new components on a regular basis.

Not every login wall is an intranet. Often the people you most want to serve privately are clients, partners, and sales agents - not employees.

Learn how to architect a Drupal extranet with gated content, per-user dashboards, role-based access, and the security, caching, and SEO decisions that keep partner data private.

You can build a beautiful paragraph system and still watch it fall apart the first time an editor stacks two white sections together. Spacing is the detail that quietly decides whether a component-based layout feels polished or broken.

Compare three approaches to Drupal Paragraphs spacing, see a concrete Twig and CSS implementation with margin and padding controls, and learn which real-world scenarios editors run into on production sites.

Having Drupal Paragraphs installed is not the same as having Paragraphs working. If your editors upload images instead of editing text and file developer tickets for every small change, the problem is usually the implementation - not the platform.

See what separates broken setups from empowering component libraries, the five principles behind editor-friendly Paragraphs, and how proper configuration drove a ~24% conversion lift without a rebuild.
