Still on Drupal 7? You’re not alone, but it’s time to plan ahead! Thousands of websites still run on Drupal 7. And while Dropsolid offers extended support, the reality is clear: Drupal 7 is at the end of its innovation cycle. The question is no longer if you should move, but how and when.
At Dropsolid, we guide organizations in making the best choice: whether that means extending support on Drupal 7, migrating to modern Drupal (currently Drupal 11), embracing the power of Drupal AI or a combination of this.
1. Roadblocks of Migrating to modern Drupal
Migrating from Drupal 7 to a modern Drupal version is a big step, and many site owners face challenges that delay that move. These are the most common migration roadblocks:
Technical Hurdles
- Complete theme redesign
- Complex content and media structure rework and data migration
- Custom modules and thrid-party integrations often require major rewrites
Organizational Barriers
- Limited development capacity
- Budget constraints
- Competing priorities across teams
We get it. These challenges don’t make migration simple. But don’t worry, there’s a solution that can bridge the gap and give you more time to prepare: Drupal 7 Extended Support (D7ES).
2. Extend Support - The Bridge
Drupal 7 Extended Support allows your team to maintain security and performance while planning a future-ready migration.
At Dropsolid, we provide Extended Support for your Drupal 7 website. Unlike many other firms, we have a large team of Drupal 7 experts on board with over 620 years of Drupal experience. And we are fully committed because we currently support a lot of Drupal 7 applications.

3. From Drupal 7 to Drupal AI - The Future
As extended support is not a long-term solution, looking into migrating to modern Drupal is essential. Dropsolid offers expert Drupal migration services to bring your website up to date with modern standards and technologies, making it faster, more secure, and more scalable. We understand that every business is unique, and we tailor our migration approach to your specific needs and challenges.
Looking beyond modern Drupal? There’s an exciting future waiting with Drupal AI! This integration and automation into your CMS unlocks a new level of efficiency, personalization, and innovation.
What can Drupal AI do?
Imagine the power of AI-assisted content generation, smart tagging, and intelligent content recommendations—all within your CMS. Drupal AI has new tools to:
- Boost content velocity by generating drafts, suggestions, and ideas based on existing content and keywords.
- Improve UX by offering intelligent recommendations tailored to user behavior, interests, and needs.
- Automate routine time-intensive tasks such as tagging, categorizing, and content updates, reducing the manual effort your team needs to put in.
For example, on a Drupal e-commerce site, AI can dynamically adjust product recommendations based on user behavior, increasing conversions and personalization. Content editors could have AI-generated suggestions ready to publish based on traffic and preferences.
As your website evolves, embracing Drupal AI can be the next logical step after migrating to modern Drupal. It gives you the ability to stay ahead of trends and deliver an exceptional, personalized experience for your users.
