Drupal 11 on Symfony: the foundation for demanding CMS platforms
Drupal isn't "just another CMS". It's a platform built on Symfony 7 components (HttpKernel, DependencyInjection, Routing) enabling enterprise architectures that WordPress cannot address. Multisite with hundreds of nodes, publishing workflows with 15 roles, SAP and Salesforce integration. The same foundation we apply in our Symfony development work.
- Symfony 7 Foundation
- 100+ Multisite nodes

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What decision-makers ask about Drupal.
When to choose Drupal over WordPress?
Drupal when you need: multisite with hundreds of sites, complex publishing workflows with multiple roles, integration with enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, LDAP), or very complex content structures. If you don't have these requirements, WordPress is usually more efficient: see our WordPress development services.
Is Drupal difficult to maintain?
Requires more expertise than WordPress, but updates are more controlled and predictable. With a good maintenance partner, your content team can work without worrying about the technical side.
What is Drupal headless/decoupled?
Drupal as backend for content management, with separate frontend (React, Vue, Astro). You get the power of Drupal for structuring content and the flexibility of any frontend framework. Ideal for mobile apps and multiple channels.
Do you offer managed Drupal hosting?
Yes, we work with Acquia, Platform.sh and AWS/Azure. Includes auto-scaling, CDN, backups and 24/7 monitoring. Prices from €500/month per requirements.
Can you migrate from our current CMS to Drupal?
Yes, experience migrating from WordPress, Joomla, legacy systems and custom databases. We migrate content, users, workflows and SEO without data loss.
What is the typical timeline for a Drupal project?
Single corporate site: 2-3 months. Multisite with integrations: 4-6 months. Complex enterprise platform: 6-12 months. Depends on integrations and workflow complexity.
Does Drupal comply with WCAG and GDPR?
Excellent WCAG AA/AAA support out-of-the-box. For GDPR, there are cookie consent and personal data management modules. Auditable for compliance. We complement it with web accessibility audits.
What happens if your company disappears?
All code is open source and documented. Any certified Drupal developer can continue the project. No vendor lock-in. Git repository transferred upon completion.
