Unlock the flexibility, lower maintenance cost, and enormous ecosystem of WordPress.
Precise and expertly managed migration from Drupal.
Drupal is powerful, but it comes with a steep cost: specialised developers, rigid architecture, expensive maintenance, and slower iteration cycles.
WordPress, on the other hand, offers a more adaptable, easier-to-manage, and cost-efficient CMS with a massive global developer base.
Gutenberg, page builders, custom blocks, no technical barriers.
PHP, REST API, block-based content, reusable components.
60,000+ plugins, countless themes and templates and open-source freedom.
Caching, CDN setup, lightweight HTML structure, optimized server-side config.
Reduces development costs and accelerates timelines.
| Feature | WordPress Recommended | Drupal |
|---|---|---|
| Market Share | Powers ~43% of all websites and ~60%+ of CMS-driven sites globally. | Used by roughly 1–2% of websites; strong but niche CMS presence. |
| Ease of Use | Modern, intuitive block editor; easy for editors and marketers to manage content. | More complex backend; typically requires training and technical assistance. |
| Cost & Maintenance | Lower long-term costs; affordable hosting and plugin-based feature set. | Higher maintenance costs due to complexity and specialised developer needs. |
| Developer Ecosystem | Huge global developer pool; easier hiring and faster iteration. | Smaller, specialised ecosystem; development is often slower and more expensive. |
| Integrations & Plugins | Tens of thousands of plugins; deep integrations with most third-party tools. | Good integration options, but fewer ready-made modules than WordPress plugins. |
| Scalability & Flexibility | Scales from small sites to complex platforms with flexible architecture. | Scales well but with higher complexity and development effort. |
| Performance & Optimisation | Fine-grained control over caching, CDNs and performance tuning. | Strong performance possible, but requires expert configuration and upkeep. |
