I migrate
Drupal 7 → Drupal 891011.
Fixed quote. No lock-in.

You probably already know it. Your Drupal website hasn't received security updates
for over a year.

I offer a migration to the latest version of the CMS - same design, same features, same hosting. All it takes is a quick look at the site, then you'll get a fixed quote.

Fast, secure - and affordable.

## 01. ABOUT

Achton Smidt Winther
Achton Smidt Winther

I've worked with web development and Drupal for years, and am employed at Reload A/S, a digital agency in Frederiksberg specialising in complex web solutions.

Evenings and weekends I spend on more web and AI tinkering, and Drupal has a special place with me - I've worked with it for so long and I think it's a solid, versatile system for websites.

But it's a real problem that thousands of Danish websites aren't being updated and therefore pose a risk, because they run a version of Drupal that's no longer maintained. I have good experience upgrading such sites to the latest version (Drupal 11).

It doesn't have to take long, and it doesn't have to be expensive.

## 02. MY MIGRATION OFFER

// NOT INCLUDED

* Redesign, new features, Drupal Commerce, integrations with ERP/CRM or booking systems, and ongoing maintenance afterwards. This is a migration - not a new site. If you need any of that, mention it in the email; we can discuss it separately or I can refer you onward.

## 03. FAQ

What does it cost?

It depends on your site - its size, complexity and how much custom development is involved. Most smaller sites start at a few thousand kroner excl. VAT; larger or more complex sites are quoted individually. You get one fixed price - not an estimate or hourly rate - after I've taken a quick look at your site. You can decide whether to take it, and you won't hear from me again if you say no thanks.

Why is it a problem to keep running Drupal 7?

Right now it probably works fine for you, so on the face of it, it isn't. But unsupported CMS versions tend to become targets for automated hacking tools that exploit old security holes and take over the site to sell Viagra or send spam. That's not a pleasant situation to be in. You can read more about Drupal 7 end-of-life on drupal.org.

How long does a migration take?

For most sites: 2-4 weeks from the day we start. I work on a few migrations at a time, so there may be a short wait before we begin. You'll get a concrete start date together with the quote.

Will my design change?

No. By default, the site will look the way it does today. No visitor will notice the difference. The underlying code for the design will likely be replaced with new, modern Drupal 11 code that's easier to maintain going forward. That's included in the quote.

What's not included?

Redesign, new features, Drupal Commerce, integrations with ERP/CRM/booking, and performance optimisation beyond what the migration itself provides. If you need any of that, say so in the email - we can either do it as a separate project, or I'll refer you on to someone I trust.

Can I pay you to maintain the site afterwards?

Yes, if you'd like. Entirely optional, no contract, no subscription, no minimum - just hours when you need security updates or a small fix. Many people manage fine on their own or hire a local developer afterwards. That's also fine.

Why is it so cheap?

Three things: a fixed scope (same host, same design, same features - no surprises along the way), one person rather than an agency, and modern tools that make the conversion itself faster than before. No project managers, no committees, no follow-up bills.

Which modules can you migrate?

Most common Drupal contrib modules also exist for Drupal 11. If your site uses something special - or custom code - I look at it before sending the quote, so it's included in the price. You don't need to figure out yourself what's possible.
