What happens when Drupal 7 support ends?
Our technology director, Steve King, explains everything you need to know about Drupal 7 end of life and how to avoid getting left behind when support ends in January.
What are the risks of staying on Drupal 7?
Risk 1
Compromised security – when updates stop you will face an increased risk of security breaches.
Risk 2
Operating inefficiency – updates will be incompatible with your system meaning compromised website functioning.
Risk 3
Maintenance issues – the latest modules and themes will no longer be available to you and key existing assets will no longer be maintained.
What are your migration options?
You can upgrade to the latest Drupal version, but for optimal flexibility and customisation we highly recommend Webflow. Depending on your specific requirements the benefits include:
- Security and software updates
- Flexible and user-friendly content editing
- Potential cost efficiencies
- Streamlined time to market
