  2. Drupal for content heavy websites.. Drupal the open source CMS is the best choice for content heavy websites.Drupal web Development Companychoose it because it is a securest platform and supported by a wonderful network of developers. It is free CMS that means you need not to pay any licensing fee to anyone for using it. These features may attract those who already have CMS based websites to migrate them to Drupal. But before you migrate to Drupal, you must learn the four top tips about it.

  3. Make a migration plan… • Migration from one CMS to another is big decision. Without a proper plan, things are more likely to go in wrong direction. A lot of complexities are associated with migration of a website to any CMS and the same is the case with Drupal too. Make sure you have a perfect migration plan.

  4. Check Your Plans from these Ques.. • How much time the migration will take? • Who will take care of the whole migration process? • Is migration investment justifiable? • How early you want to see ROI on migration? • What will be the look / feel of minimum viable product? • How important it is to migrate all data, metadata, tags, users account? • What are the things that cannot be migrated ? • You must have positive and satisfying answers for all these above mentioned question.

  5. Audit the site from your organization point of view First know what actually the work process is followed in your organization. It is why because when you will communicate with your Drupal developer, you will easily convey how you want them to conclude the work and what are the changes / addition your want to add to the website during migration.

  6. Things to Learn before you Hire Drupal developer • Identify the assets making the source site • Recognize the parts to be migrated from source site. • Spot the changes / addition to be don during the migration • Does the new site need integration with legacy system and is that going to be difficult to work with the process. • Will migration streamline the workflow of your organization?

  7. Audit the site from technical point of view Apart from auditing the site from organizational point of view, you should also audit it from technical prospective. Engage both your IT and marketing team in the communication with the Drupal development company. • Recognize sort of repository used by the source site for storing data • Assess how non-content data has been structured in the source site • Research about migration tools & technology used by other Drupal web development firms. • Talk to the developer to recognize the best practices to migrate the site in minimum time. • Spot whether there will be any CRM integration as part of automation rules

  8. Migration from older Drupal version to new one It’s good enough if you are already on Drupal and want to migrate to the new one. But to have the migration successfully done, you will still need to hire a developer. Keep these things in mind while upgrading the version. • Check whether the new version has all the modules available as of the prior one. If not available, developers will need to create them and it will of course increase the cost of the migration. • You cannot skip any version while upgrading. For example, if your website is running on Drupal 5 and you want to upgrade it to Drupal 7 then you will first need to upgrade the site to Drupal 6 and then to the 7.
