The Approach

Audit & Objectives

Assessed data structures, SEO reliance, custom product galleries, and checkout logic. Identified risks of breaking the visual layout or losing search rankings.

Migration Logic & Tooling

Created AI-powered scripts to extract, clean, and prepare product data, orders, customers, and SEO-relevant paths.

Theme & Design Reuse

Converted legacy theme to Twig-compatible version. Maintained pixel-perfect consistency across product listings, gallery layouts, and mobile experience.

Upgrade Process

Ran a trial upgrade on a cloned environment to iron out quirks. After sign-off, completed production upgrade in phases to keep the live store online.

Validation & QA

Used screenshot diffing, form and cart simulations, and structured test cases to verify data and design stability across all viewports.

SEO-Safe Commerce Upgrade

RealWood Furniture now runs on Drupal 10. The site looks the same but is faster, more secure, and easier to maintain. Product data and categories were preserved. Checkout remained functional throughout, and local SEO signals remained intact.
