D6 to D10 Direct Jump with Redesign
Replace the outdated Drupal 6 stack with Drupal 10+, keep every feature intact, and with a contemporary redesign.

The Approach
Mapping Risks and Constraints
We listed system dependencies, mapped all data structures, and flagged critical features that couldn't break.
Upgrade Strategy
Planned a direct jump from Drupal 6 to 10 using AI automation to bridge over unsupported upgrade paths.
Custom Theme and Data Logic Rebuild
Recreated templates, fields, and views from scratch using modern Drupal standards.
Live Clone Migration
Cloned the full site and ran the upgrade in a separate environment to prevent disruption.
Data Regression Checks
AI bots compared old and new layouts, validated links, fields, and permissions.
Legacy-to-Modern Transformation
We upgraded the full system in six months. All legacy content, accounts, and features were preserved. The new platform runs on Drupal 10, is mobile-ready, and supports modern hosting. Not a single user reported a broken feature after launch.
Key Matrics
- 100% data migrated with accuracy
- 0 minutes of production downtime
- 6 months from start to launch
- No legacy vulnerabilities remain
