When Drupal is the right CMS - and when WordPress is

These two get compared constantly and the comparison is usually framed badly. Drupal's real strength is structured content: when you have many interrelated content types with genuine relationships between them, complex editorial workflows, multiple languages as a first-class concern, or granular permissions where different roles may edit different fields of the same item.

Universities, government bodies, large publishers and membership organisations tend to land on Drupal for exactly those reasons. Its content modelling and permission systems are built in rather than assembled from plugins, which matters a great deal once the model becomes non-trivial.

WordPress is the better answer for most marketing sites, blogs and brochure sites, and we will say so. It is cheaper to build, cheaper to host, and far easier to find editors and developers for. Choosing Drupal for a site that is essentially pages and posts means paying an ongoing complexity tax for capability you never use.

Drupal 7 and the upgrade nobody enjoyed

Many organisations are still running Drupal 7, which reached end of life and no longer receives community security support. Unlike a routine version bump, the move to modern Drupal was an architectural change - the shift onto Symfony components meant custom modules and themes generally need rebuilding rather than porting.

That is why so many Drupal 7 sites stayed put, and the delay has made the decision sharper rather than easier: an unsupported CMS holding real content and real user data is a security exposure that grows quietly. The practical route is a content migration onto a freshly built modern Drupal site, with the content model revisited rather than copied.

Approached that way the upgrade becomes an opportunity. Most long-lived Drupal 7 sites have accumulated content types nobody uses, contributed modules replaced by core functionality, and a permission structure reflecting an organisation chart from years ago. Rebuilding the model deliberately usually produces something markedly simpler to run.

Headless Drupal, and whether you need it

Using Drupal purely as a content back end - serving JSON:API or GraphQL to a separate front end - is a genuinely good fit in specific circumstances: when the same content feeds several channels such as a website, a mobile app and in-store displays, or when the front-end team is committed to a JavaScript framework for reasons unrelated to the CMS.

The trade-off is real and often understated. You give up Drupal's built-in layout tools, contextual editing and preview, which means editors lose the ability to see changes in place before publishing. Recovering that in a decoupled setup is possible but takes deliberate work, and editorial experience is frequently the thing quietly sacrificed to an architectural preference.

For a single website with no additional channels, traditional Drupal with a well-built theme is usually simpler, cheaper and better for the people who actually use it every day. We would rather ask what the second channel is before recommending a decoupled build.

Frequently asked questions

Drupal or WordPress - which should we choose? expand_more
Drupal when content is genuinely structured: many interrelated content types, complex editorial workflows, multilingual as a first-class need, or granular per-field permissions. That is why universities, government and large publishers choose it. WordPress is the better answer for most marketing sites, blogs and brochure sites - cheaper to build and host, and easier to staff. Choosing Drupal for pages and posts means paying a complexity tax for capability you never use.
We're still on Drupal 7. How bad is that? expand_more
Drupal 7 is end of life and no longer receives community security support, so an unsupported CMS is holding your content and user data. The upgrade is not a version bump - the move onto Symfony components means custom modules and themes generally need rebuilding. The practical route is a content migration onto a freshly built modern Drupal site, revisiting the content model rather than copying it.
How does a Drupal 7 migration actually work? expand_more
We build a new modern Drupal site and migrate content into it, rather than upgrading in place. That usually means auditing what is genuinely in use first - most long-lived Drupal 7 sites carry unused content types, contributed modules now replaced by core, and permissions reflecting an old organisation chart. Rebuilding the model deliberately produces something considerably simpler to run.
Should we go headless with Drupal? expand_more
Only if you have a real second channel. Headless suits content feeding a website plus a mobile app or other surfaces, or a front-end team committed to a JavaScript framework. The cost is losing Drupal's layout tools, contextual editing and preview, so editors can no longer see changes in place. For a single website, traditional Drupal with a good theme is usually simpler, cheaper and better for daily users.
Can you maintain an existing Drupal site? expand_more
Yes - security updates, module and core upgrades, performance work, new features and content-model changes. We are happy to take over a site we did not build, starting with an audit of its module estate, custom code and update status so you get an honest picture of its condition before committing to anything.
