Looking for specialists for Drupal 8 development?

ADCI Solutions know Drupal in and out, and we claim that it is one of the best choices that you can make in Open source.

We understand why you chose Drupal 8: it used proven PHP-community standards like PSR-4 for autoloading, utilized PSR-7 compliant Guzzle HTTP client, heavily utilized robust and widely-used in the PHP community Symfony components, Composer for dependency management, Twig for secure templating.

It’s fine to slow down a bit but we encourage you to migrate to Drupal 9 as soon as possible. Remember, Drupal 8.9 was the last Drupal 8 version and it was the one put for Long-Term Support which ended in November 2021.

Drupal 8 migration to Drupal 9

Drupal 9 is released, it is stable, so we can confidently suggest you: let’s migrate to Drupal 9 as soon as possible!

Drupal 8 is not supported by the Drupal Security team anymore, so it’s insecure and vulnerable.
Drupal migration services are not only about migrating a website as is but also about reworking essential functionality and getting rid of technical debt which is quite important for the ease of development.
According to Acquia, 64,8% of Drupal-based solutions are fully compatible with Drupal 9, and 14% only have minor issues with info.yml/composer.json. More or less, the majority of Drupal modules are ready for Drupal 9.

It’s high time to enhance digital experiences.

Our workflow

We have a simplified workflow so working with us is easy, pleasant, and mutually beneficial. We don’t require paperwork at all but will happily do this if it’s required from your side.

A typical project team includes a lead developer, back-end and front-end developers, designers, account and sales managers.

What are the project stages?

Onboarding. At the kickoff meeting, the sales manager briefs you regarding the goals, requirements, budget and timeline restrictions.
Study of the requirements. During this stage, the lead developer explores tech documentation, project aims, requirements. The client and the lead developer discuss all the features and details.
As soon as we get the client’s commitment to the project, we start working. The account manager sends invoices to the client.
The lead developer or a client creates tasks in a task management system Redmine, and from now on all the communication is held there: nothing can be lost and all your inquiries will be held in one safe place.
Wireframes. Wireframing minimizes the risks of sudden layout and functionality changes at later stages.
Design. Graphic and web design.
The back-end and front-end development. Sometimes, we can start front-end development almost simultaneously with the back end, so the project progresses much faster.
Deployment and further support & maintenance.

How to prepare your Drupal 8 website for migration

According to drupal.org guides, preparing for Drupal takes several steps that can be more or less lengthy depending on the code and Drupal 8 website configurations. Our expertise and drupal.org recommendations suggest following these steps:

Consider the goals of migrating to Drupal 9. Should we migrate as is? Should we do the redesign and review the whole structure? Compose a roadmap and plan the budget. If you don’t have much legacy code, the budget can be lower than Drupal 8 development.
Does your hosting environment match the platform requirements of Drupal 9? If not, fix it. Then update your Drupal 8 website to Drupal 8.9.x.
The next step is updating all contributed projects and making sure they are Drupal 9 compatible. Also, the custom code in Drupal 8 must be Drupal 9 compatible as well.
Update core codebase to Drupal 9. Run update.php. Perfect, you’re on Drupal 9!
