Drupal Support and Maintenance Services
We’ll take care of your Drupal website or application so that you can focus on your business.
Having over 50 Aquia certificates and a rich portfolio of projects, we are a proven partner for Drupal support and development. We’ll keep your website or application well functioning, up-to-date, and secure. Should you need some development improvements, you’ll also receive them within our Drupal support service.
Bug fixing
We’ll help you with the issues related to CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Drupal, and others. When there are any errors or issues, we can react quickly. The developers can seamlessly switch from completing the current tasks to fixing bugs.
Drupal security updates
We regularly perform the updates of Drupal core and modules as the new versions usually include security patches and improved features. We know how to carry out even the most complex update so that it doesn’t interfere with your business.
Continuous development
Following your needs at a given moment, we can help you with your website or application development, up to 150 hours per month. It can involve, for example, adding a new integration or creating a new landing page.

What is onboarding?
It’s the first phase of our Drupal support service when we:
- conduct a security audit of your website and prepare our recommendations for improvements,
- put your website under version control (if you haven’t used GIT before),
- make a copy of your web page on our servers.
Within the last activity, we also create a separate development environment. This way, you have a demo copy of your website, and we have a place where we can stage any changes we introduce to it for you to test before adding them to production. Another crucial action we perform during the onboarding process is creating scripts to automate deploying new changes to the production server. This activity takes up to three days, but it helps to save a lot of time in the next stages of our work.
How does Drupal support service work?
You add your requests to Jira (a project management tool we use), where we build the queue of tasks to perform within our cooperation. Our tech leads analyze them, estimate time to complete a given task, or assign it back to you if they need more details or arrangements. Once the tasks are clarified and estimated, we place them in the Ready to start queue. We complete the assignments one after another, trying to group the ones for the same website into larger packages. It significantly reduces the time and cost of realization.
When a particular task is ready, we conduct internal tests (QA and code review). Then we ask you to verify changes on the demo server. Having your confirmation that everything works as expected, we perform deployment on the production server.
The above process workflow applies to the regular tasks. When it comes to the emergency issues (like a non-working website, a bug on the production server, a newly published Drupal security update), we carry them out immediately.
If you’d like to have a bigger change on your website (like a new landing page), we need to know about it in advance to plan the team size accordingly.
