How we upgrade Drupal without breaking your site
A 6-step system that validates every change — so your site works exactly as it did before, on a fully supported platform.
The upgrade process, step by step
Each step is designed to catch issues before they reach production — so your upgrade is predictable, not risky.
-
1
Trial upgrade
We upgrade a copy of your site first — no commitment, no risk to production.
-
2
Automated code & data upgrade
Custom code, content, and configuration upgraded systematically — not manually patched.
-
3
Visual regression testing
Automated screenshots compare before and after — pixel by pixel.
-
4
Functional validation
Critical flows tested continuously — forms, checkout, login, integrations.
-
5
Iterative fixes until identical
Differences resolved until results match. No surprises at launch.
-
6
Final delivery + future upgrade path
Your site is supported — and ready for continuous upgrades.
Why most upgrades fail — and why this one won't
Regressions appear after launch
Manual QA catches some issues, misses others
Visual regression testing catches pixel-level changes before launch
Custom code breaks
Developers patch and hope
Systematic code upgrade with validation at every step
Timeline slips, costs grow
Scope discovered mid-project
Trial upgrade reveals scope upfront — fixed price, no surprises
"It works" until it doesn't
Single test pass before go-live
Continuous testing through every iteration
The system catches what humans miss. That's why results are predictable.

See the result before you commit
Trial upgrade first
We upgrade a copy of your site before any commitment. You see the result, then decide.
Fixed price
No hourly billing. No scope creep. Price agreed after trial reveals complexity.
Accept only if satisfied
If the result doesn't meet your standards, you don't proceed.
No vendor lock-in
Your upgraded site is yours. Standard Drupal, standard hosting, full ownership.
You decide after seeing the result — not before.
