Overview
Drupal remains one of the most powerful and flexible open-source content management systems available, trusted by governments, universities, media organizations, and Fortune 500 enterprises for mission-critical web properties. With Drupal 10 and the upcoming Drupal 11, the platform has modernized significantly with improved developer experience, better editorial UX, and first-class support for decoupled and headless architectures. Nextbrick's Drupal consultants help organizations build, migrate, and optimize enterprise Drupal deployments that are secure, scalable, and tailored to complex content workflows.
Our team has deep experience across the entire Drupal ecosystem. We architect large-scale Drupal Sites with custom content types, views, paragraphs, and layout builder configurations. We develop custom modules that extend Drupal's core functionality. We implement headless Drupal architectures using JSON:API and GraphQL to power modern frontend applications. And we execute complex migrations from Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 to modern Drupal versions, preserving content, URL structures, and SEO equity.

Migrating from Drupal 7
Drupal 7 reached its original end-of-life and extended support windows, making migration to Drupal 10 or 11 a priority for thousands of organizations. Nextbrick has executed dozens of Drupal 7 migrations, and we understand the challenges: Drupal 7's architecture is fundamentally different from modern Drupal, meaning migrations require careful content mapping, module replacement planning, and theme rebuilding rather than a simple upgrade path.
Our migration methodology starts with a comprehensive audit of your Drupal 7 site including content types, fields, views, custom modules, and contributed module dependencies. We map each component to its Drupal 10/11 equivalent, identify gaps that require custom development, and build automated migration scripts using Drupal's Migrate API. We run iterative migration rehearsals, validate content integrity, and configure 301 redirects to preserve SEO equity before the final cutover.
Headless Drupal for Modern Frontends
Drupal's mature content modeling capabilities make it an excellent headless CMS. Nextbrick architects decoupled Drupal implementations where Drupal serves as the structured content hub while a modern JavaScript framework (typically Next.js or Nuxt) handles the presentation layer. This approach gives content teams the familiar Drupal editorial experience while frontend developers build fast, interactive, and highly customized user experiences.
We configure Drupal's JSON:API or GraphQL endpoints, implement preview and draft content workflows for decoupled setups, set up incremental static regeneration (ISR) patterns, and ensure that SEO metadata, structured data, and Open Graph tags are properly managed across the decoupled stack.
