Estimated Time And Budget For Drupal Migration

In June 2020, Drupal released its latest version Drupal 9. However, there are still a good number of websites that are built on Drupal 7. Obviously, to stay in the competitive market, these websites need to be migrated to Drupal 9 or at least Drupal 8. A number of companies have started thinking of hiring a professional Drupal development company for Drupal migration. However, there are also a number of businesses that want to do the migration process on their own instead of hiring a professional Drupal development firm. Well, if you have the expertise, that’s a great option to do it on your own. But for that, you have to be aware of the time and budget that will be required for the entire process of migrating to Drupal 8/9. So, in this post, we will give you an insight into the estimated time and budget for Drupal migration. 

If you have a simple brochure website with no custom modules and with just a few content types, well, it can be easily migrated within just 30 hours. However, if you have a slightly complex website, the migration time will extend. It could even take a few months for some businesses to get their website migrated to Drupal 8/9 whether they are doing it with the in-house team or have hired a professional Drupal developers.

 The migration process works on the simple concept, the more complex the website is, the more time it will take to get migrated to Drupal 8 or 9. Now it is important to understand what aspects you will be working on during the migration process. 

First, there will be the initialization part that includes developers to know what all content they need to migrate to Drupal 8 or 9. Next comes the custom module rewriting. This is the part that takes a considerable amount of time to migrate. Thereafter, comes the actual migration process which can be either manual or automated. Some websites require complex field mapping which increases the time of migration. Besides, if you want to reorganize the content on your website, it will also take some time. The next step in the process is the validation. Once everything is done, developers ensure that there are no errors before publishing it.
