Drupal Consulting Services 

Drupal is often a strong choice for organizations that manage complex content for multiple brands or spread across different geographies, need integration flexibility or prioritize scalability and editorial control with less developer dependency. 

To assess whether the Drupal platform is the right fit, evaluate the needs and expectations of your key audiences – from CTOs looking for flexibility and long-term viability, to marketers and content teams who need ease of use, to end users who expect seamless digital experiences. To learn more about what Drupal has to offer for different types of audiences, explore this article. 

We specialize in Drupal projects that solve complex content, user and integration challenges. Our expertise spans UI/UX design, data services with AI/ML, API and third-party integrations, microservices and cloud engineering. We build: 

• Content-rich platforms for media, publishing and education institutions 

• Multilingual, multisite ecosystems for global enterprises, government and nonprofit organizations 

• Data-driven marketing sites integrated with CRM, CDP and analytical capabilities for personalization  

• Intranets with role-based access and low-code portals that enable editorial workflows without developer support  

To drive digital strategy and long-term growth, we enhance site capabilities by integrating tools like payment gateways, social media platforms and more. 

Yes, we frequently begin engagements with technical audits to provide a clear picture of your current Drupal setup. Based on our findings and your requirements, we conduct a feasibility analysis, recommend architectural enhancements (if needed) and explore data integration opportunities to enable personalization. Then, we outline a phased development roadmap to align priorities, manage risk and set expectations before moving into full-scale development. 

For large or greenfield engagements, we offer PoCs to validate strategic fit. 

Yes, we can. Migrating applications and websites from older Drupal versions, other CMS platforms or non-CMS legacy systems to Drupal is an area where we bring deep, hands-on expertise.  

For example, if you’re still on Drupal 7, we guide you through replatforming to either Drupal Core, which is ideal for developer-driven builds, or Drupal CMS, which is better suited for marketers and site builders. For sites on Drupal 8 or above, we assess your setup and recommend the most efficient upgrade path.  

Whatever your migration path is, our process ensures data integrity and zero downtime, keeping your business running without disruption. 

Yes. As a platform-agnostic Drupal consultancy, we have integrated Drupal with a wide range of enterprise systems and marketing automation systems, including Salesforce, HubSpot, SAP, Adobe Experience Platform and Microsoft Dynamics. Whether your systems use REST APIs, GraphQL or middleware like Mulesoft, we enable secure, real-time data exchange and unified experiences.

For custom-built or specialized platforms, we assess integration feasibility as part of our consulting engagement to ensure the architecture supports long-term scalability. 

Recurring issues like slow performance, downtime or unplanned outages are all clear signals. You may also need ongoing support if your internal teams are stretched thin managing updates, patches and cloud infrastructure. Or if there are gaps in monitoring, recovery planning or not having defined SLOs and SLIs. A specialized Drupal partner can help you identify issues early, optimize performance, and bring structure to maintenance, monitoring and incident response — so that your team can focus on growth instead of problem-solving.

Drupal consulting covers the strategic layer: tech stack assessment, platform selection, architecture decisions and transformation roadmaps. As a Drupal consulting company, Material typically begins here, defining what to build and why before development starts. Drupal development services then execute against that foundation, spanning custom builds, decoupled architecture, UI/UX, theming, integrations and ongoing SEO. Many engagements involve both, but the consulting phase is what ensures the development phase solves the right problem.

Organizations that benefit most from Drupal consulting services are those managing complex content and experience delivery across multiple brands, regions or channels, where platform decisions carry significant long-term consequences. This includes enterprises and mid-market organizations navigating legacy modernization, CMS consolidation, platform migrations or large-scale integration initiatives. Organizations that rely on the flexibility, security and innovation of the Drupal community often engage Drupal consultants to align technical decisions with broader business and experience goals.

These services also support teams that need strategic guidance beyond what internal developers can provide, including architectural planning, integration strategy, governance models, platform and tooling selection and scalability planning.

Typical Drupal consulting engagements vary based on the scope and complexity of the challenge. A focused technical audit, architecture assessment or platform review may take two to four weeks, while a broader Drupal platform strategy or modernization initiative can extend across several months.

Some organizations also engage Drupal consultants through ongoing advisory retainers that support long-term platform evolution, governance, integration planning and optimization. Engagements at Material are scoped around the specific business and technical challenge rather than a fixed delivery timeline.
