Drupal Development Services

Drupal is a powerful open-source CMS backed by a large developer community. With an API-first foundation, it has evolved into a highly scalable, flexible platform that integrates easily with modern martech stacks and supports omnichannel delivery. Its enterprise-grade security, granular user control and ability to support high-traffic multilingual multi-regional sites make it a top choice for global enterprises, publishers, educational institutions, retailers, NGOs and governments. Drupal empowers both editorial and development teams with the right tools and workflows.

We follow a structured delivery model grounded in design thinking principles. We build Drupal-powered websites, portals, apps and content systems with a human-centered, collaborative approach. Our process includes:  

• Discover: Stakeholder workshops and user research to identify core problems and goals 

• Define: Map user needs and define scope based on real insights 

• Build: Ideate, prototype and develop solutions iteratively 

• Deliver: Validate through testing, analysis and feedback loops  

This process ensures every solution is scalable, user-focused and built for long-term impact. 

Yes. We often work with clients to stabilize and streamline their existing Drupal ecosystem without tearing everything down. Our team conducts a technical audit to identify bottlenecks in performance, architecture and code quality. From there, we recommend modular improvements – such as removing unnecessary modules, optimizing queries, refactoring templates and implementing caching – to enhance speed and maintainability. This phased approach minimizes disruption and maximizes ROI. 

Absolutely. Migration is a key part of our Drupal development services. Whether you’re moving from older versions of Drupal like 7, switching from platforms like WordPress/Sitecore/Joomla or transitioning from legacy non-CMS platforms, we follow a structured, low-risk process that ensures business continuity. We start with a full audit of your existing system, then create a strategic roadmap to migrate data, content structures, custom modules and functionality, all while ensuring minimal downtime, data integrity and improved performance in your new Drupal environment. 

Material brings more than just Drupal expertise — we deliver the full range of services needed to build and scale digital experiences. From insights to strategy to execution, our teams cover UI/UX design, CMS architecture, content operations, data services (including AI/ML), API development microservices and cloud engineering. 

Since these end-to-end capabilities live under one roof, we build faster, avoid silos and ensure everything works together from day one. Our mature agile approach, combined with a global delivery model, lets us move with speed and flexibility – while staying closely aligned to your evolving goals.  

We define success early and make it measurable by breaking big goals into clear KPIs and align with stakeholders on what to track and why. These KPIs act as a heartbeat of the project, where ownership is clearly assigned and performance is monitored across all stages to ensure accountability and transparency. Regular check-ins and reports help us track what matters, course-correct when needed and drive results. 

At the same time, we bake best practices into every layer of delivery, which define functional and non-functional requirements (NFRs), rigorous testing protocols and active cross-functional collaboration.
