18+ Years of Drupal Development Excellence
Since adopting Drupal in 2006, we've delivered over 70 enterprise-scale projects for universities, advocacy organizations, and mission-driven brands. Our expertise spans the full Drupal ecosystem, from custom module development to complex content migrations to performance optimization at scale.
Whether you're modernizing a legacy Drupal 7 site, building a new headless architecture, or optimizing an existing Drupal installation, we bring deep technical expertise combined with practical, maintainable solutions. We understand both the code and the content strategy that makes Drupal projects succeed.
Our Drupal work emphasizes clean architecture, comprehensive documentation, and knowledge transfer to your team. We've trained dozens of content editors, site builders, and developers on Drupal best practices. Every project includes detailed handoff documentation and optional training sessions to ensure your team can maintain and extend the work we deliver.
From simple brochure sites to complex multi-site installations with thousands of content nodes, we've solved intricate technical challenges while keeping sites accessible, performant, and secure. Our experience includes working with Drupal's Views, Paragraphs, Layout Builder, media management, multilingual capabilities, and custom workflow systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What do Drupal experts do?
- Drupal experts design, build, and maintain complex CMS-driven websites. This includes custom module development, content architecture, multi-site configuration, performance optimization, security hardening, and migrations between major Drupal versions. At Stoneberg Design, we specialize in enterprise Drupal work for universities, nonprofits, and large organizations.
- How does Drupal compare to WordPress for enterprise websites?
- Drupal is purpose-built for complex, high-traffic, multi-audience sites that need fine-grained access control, structured content modeling, and enterprise-grade scalability. WordPress excels for content-focused sites with simpler architectures. For universities, government agencies, and large organizations with decentralized content management, Drupal typically provides a stronger foundation.
- What does a Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 migration involve?
- A D7 to D10 migration involves content migration (using the Migrate API), theme rebuilding (Drupal 10 uses Twig and modern CSS), module replacement or custom development for features that lack D10 equivalents, and database restructuring. Timeline varies by site complexity—simple sites may take 2–4 weeks; complex multi-site installations with custom modules can take 3–6 months.
- How much does Drupal development cost?
- Drupal development costs depend on project scope. A focused engagement—such as a performance audit, module upgrade, or migration planning phase—typically runs $5,000–$20,000. Full site builds or major migrations for enterprise organizations range from $30,000 to $150,000+. We offer discovery-first engagements to scope accurately before committing to full development.
