Drupal Development

Drupal can handle — multi-site governance, granular role-based access, complex approval workflows, and deep integrations with enterprise systems. We build and maintain these environments with security and long-term maintainability as core requirements. AI-assisted pipelines across component-level iteration, module development, content modelling, and testing reduce build time by 20–30%. Explore Drupal Development

Drupal migration

We migrate legacy CMS platforms and older Drupal versions when publishing slows, compliance teams start flagging platform risk, and technical debt is affecting delivery decisions. Content stays stable, search visibility is protected, and teams continue operating through the change. AI-assisted migration tooling handles content mapping, URL integrity, and taxonomy restructuring, so the process moves faster and with fewer surprises. Explore Migration to Drupal

Drupal Staff Augmentation

Senior Drupal engineers who work inside your repositories, stand-ups, review cycles, and time zone. 80% of our team actively contributes to Drupal AI, Drupal core, and modules. We onboard to how you work and improve how it runs from there. AI-assisted delivery frameworks come into every engagement, cutting build time and improving code quality across the work your team is already doing. Explore Staff Augmentation

Decoupled Drupal

Frontend teams move at their own pace while content stays governed in one system. The same structured content becomes reusable across products, apps, and AI interfaces without rebuilding every time a new channel appears. We build headless Drupal architectures on JSON:API and GraphQL, paired with React or Next.js frontends. Explore Decoupled Drupal

Drupal AI

Drupal's AI Framework includes over 30 agents covering content generation, SEO, editorial workflows, and content structure — with human-in-the-loop controls built in. We start with a two-week pilot, integrate Drupal AI into existing content estates where old workflows and manual effort are creating measurable delays, so the value shows up immediately.

Why choose Drupal in 2026?

Enterprise platform decisions in 2026 are being shaped by three forces: AI needs open, structured data to work well. Data residency and isolation requirements are tightening across regions, and proprietary platforms are pricing themselves out of rational TCO conversations.
Drupal answers all three. It gives you full ownership of your content structure, lets you plug into any AI pipeline without platform approval, meets data residency requirements out of the box, and comes with no licensing cost that compounds with scale.
The platforms that last another decade will be the ones enterprises actually control. Drupal is one of the few that fit that description, which is why UN agencies, the EU, Stanford, and large commercial enterprises are consolidating onto it rather than away from it.

What makes QED42 different from other Drupal companies?

17+ years of deep Drupal architecture experience, and AI-assisted delivery pipelines that are already in production on enterprise engagements.
‍
We've built internal frameworks for:Migration accelerationAI-assisted script and module developmentUI generation and component-level iterationSystem audit and risk detection before any line of code changesThese pipelines typically deliver 20–30% gains per engagement.
The other difference: 80%+ of our engineers contribute to the Drupal open source. Diamond Partner status, AI Maker and innovation stream leader recognition, and continuous contribution to Drupal core mean that you're working with a team that helped shape the open-source CMS itself.

How much does Drupal development cost?

Building engagements depend entirely on scope, integrations, and platform state — quoting a range before an audit wouldn't be honest.
What we can share:
‍Drupal Support & Maintenance: starts at $2,000/month for SLA-backed supportAudit and roadmap engagements: fixed-fee, typically completed in 3–5 weeksFull builds and migrations: scoped after audit, priced against outcome milestones where possibleOn total cost of ownership: Drupal carries no licensing cost. The real cost question is implementation, integration, OEM support, where relevant, and AMS engagement over the platform's life. These are the numbers worth comparing against Adobe, Sitecore, or proprietary stacks. It's where Drupal typically comes out ahead by meaningful margins at enterprise scale.

How does QED42 manage risk on complex Drupal projects?

Complex Drupal projects fail in predictable places: unclear architecture ownership, fragile integrations, content structures that break under scale, and migration plans that underestimate legacy data quality.
We address each with specific tooling and practice:
‍Audit accelerators: surface platform risk in weeks, not monthsAI-assisted content and dependency mapping: catch migration issues before they become blockersArchitecture ownership stays collaborative: we bring strong opinions where they help, and defer to your team's conventions where they work. The pitch isn't "our way is better." It's "we onboard the way you work, and we elevate"Senior leads stay through the life of an engagement: No switch-outs after kickoff

What is a Drupal audit, and what does it include?

A Drupal audit establishes what the platform is carrying today before decisions are made about migration, optimisation, or modernisation.
We review content structure, modules, integrations, and operational dependencies to understand what is stable, what creates friction, and what needs to change first.
The output typically includes a migration plan, a development roadmap, a view of where AI can add practical value, a cost range, and a risk list. The document remains usable whether the next phase continues with us or not.
