Best Drupal to WordPress Migration Services in 2026-2027

Disclosure: eSEOspace publishes this blog and ranks itself first. Every other entry was researched independently and links to its own site.

How we evaluated these Drupal to WordPress migration services

Five criteria, weighted roughly in this order.

Drupal-specific scope, not generic migration language. Drupal has structural concepts that WordPress does not share one for one. Nodes, taxonomy vocabularies, field collections, paragraphs, Views, entity references and multilingual handling all need a decision before a single row of content moves. Firms that name those structures in their published scope get credit for it. Firms that describe migration in general terms are still capable, but you will do more of the scoping work yourself in discovery.

Search continuity. Drupal path aliases, Pathauto patterns and Views-generated listing URLs mean the URL inventory of a mature Drupal site is usually larger and stranger than the sitemap suggests. Redirect mapping, canonical handling and template-level metadata parity are where organic traffic is won or lost, so we weighted published SEO workstreams heavily.

Verifiable credentials. WordPress VIP service partner tiers, Drupal certification tiers, security attestations like SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, and platform partnerships. These are checkable against third-party directories, unlike self-reported project counts.

Published evidence of the exact move. A named Drupal to WordPress case study is worth more than a long client roster, because it tells you the firm has already argued with a Views-heavy listing page and lived.

Fit at your size. An enterprise engagement model priced for a multi-quarter platform program will not serve a 60-page nonprofit site, and a productized entry-level service will not survive a multilingual Drupal multisite. Every entry gets a worst-fit note for that reason.

We did not rank on price. Migration cost tracks content volume, custom module debt and how much of the front end is being rebuilt, so any published range would be fiction for most readers.

Comparison table

1. eSEOspace

Founded 2019. Best for: small and mid-sized organisations whose Drupal migration is really a traffic-retention project.

We rank ourselves first because of the specific failure mode we build around, and it is worth being precise about it. Drupal to WordPress projects rarely fall over on the content move. They fall over about six weeks after launch, when someone finally checks Search Console and finds that a few thousand path aliases were never mapped, that Views-generated listing pages disappeared without redirects, and that template-level titles collapsed into one repeated pattern across an entire section. The pages are all there. The rankings are not.

So our scope starts from the URL inventory and the organic footprint rather than from the theme. That means a full crawl of the Drupal site before anything is designed, a redirect map built from that crawl and tested before cutover rather than after, metadata parity handled at the template level, and monitoring in the weeks after launch so a decline is caught while it is still cheap to fix. The Drupal side gets treated as an information architecture problem too. Content types become post types or structured fields, vocabularies become taxonomies, and every Views-driven page needs an explicit WordPress equivalent decided in advance.

It sits next to the rest of what we do, which is usually why clients bring the migration to us in the first place: organic SEO services for the recovery and growth phase, content management for the editorial workflow your team actually lands in, website design when the migration is also a redesign, and insights and analytics so the before and after is measured rather than argued about.

Worst fit: a global enterprise on Drupal 10 with a security review, a procurement process that requires SOC 2 documentation before a vendor touches the codebase, and forty brand sites to consolidate. That is the market Multidots, Human Made and rtCamp are built for, and they hold the certifications and partner tiers to clear those gates. We are also not the vendor to hire if you want an impartial ruling on whether you should leave Drupal at all. For that, look at Evolving Web.

If you want to work out which of those buckets you are in, get in touch.

2. WebVello

Founded 2024. Best for: Drupal sites where the migration also touches commerce or where search is the primary asset.

WebVello is a WordPress, Shopify and SEO firm, and that combination fits this category better than it first appears. A lot of Drupal migration briefs are not clean platform moves. The marketing site is on Drupal, a store or a booking flow lives somewhere else, and the real project is untangling the two while keeping both indexed. A team that works across WordPress and Shopify and treats search as part of the build, rather than an audit afterward, can hold that whole picture instead of handing you off at the platform boundary.

The search practice is the reason to consider them here specifically. Migration is the single moment when your URL structure, internal linking and template metadata are all rewritten at once. A firm that thinks about rankings during the architecture phase makes structurally better decisions than one brought in to clean up afterward.

Worst fit: WebVello was founded in 2024, so if your evaluation weights a long operating history or your procurement process gates on a published security attestation, the WordPress VIP Premier partners further down this list clear that bar and this is a newer option. It is also not the pick for a mass-scale publisher migration with millions of pages.

3. rtCamp

Founded 2009. Best for: mid-market and enterprise teams on Drupal 9 or 10 facing another forced upgrade.

rtCamp runs the most explicitly Drupal-shaped offer on this list. Its dedicated Drupal to WordPress page is built directly on the upgrade cycle, promises a three to six month migration with content and SEO intact, and breaks the risk into three named areas: SEO decline, content integrity across Drupal's node, taxonomy and Views structures, and editor adoption after launch. That third one is underrated. Plenty of technically successful migrations get quietly abandoned because the editorial team never stopped resenting the new admin.

The published inclusions are the reason it ranks this high. Pre-migration URL auditing, redirect chain validation, a crawl simulation before the DNS switch, a full inventory of content types, vocabularies, fields and Views validated against the source, live editor training and 30 days of Hypercare. It also offers 20 hours of free discovery, which is a fair way to get a real scope before committing. rtCamp publishes a genuine Drupal 9 to WordPress VIP case study for FleetNet America, integrated into Cox Automotive's WordPress VIP multisite, with PageSpeed moving from 48 to 93 and Core Web Vitals moving from fail to pass.

The credentials hold up. rtCamp is listed at Premier tier in the WordPress VIP service partner directory, and its own site lists WordPress VIP agency partnership alongside Pagely and Frappe/ERPNext partnerships. It states 250-plus professionals across the United States and India, and its services page lists work with Videojet, DealerTrack, Al Jazeera, Travelopia, PMC, Capgemini, HCL, Meta, Automattic, Cox Automotive and Manheim.

Worst fit: a single-site brochure Drupal build at a small business. The whole offer is framed in months, opens with a discovery phase, and assumes real technical debt and enterprise governance. If your Drupal site is sixty pages and a contact form, this engagement model will cost more than the problem is worth.

4. Multidots

Founded 2009. Best for: publishers and enterprises with very large content volumes who want migration run as a repeatable process.

Multidots treats platform migration as its core specialism rather than a side offering, and runs a dedicated Drupal to WordPress page inside a much wider migration practice covering AEM, Sitecore, Optimizely, Arc XP, Umbraco, Contentful, HubSpot, Joomla and Django. That matters more than it sounds. When Drupal is one lane of a machine that has already been run against ten source systems, the estimate comes from pattern recognition instead of guesswork.

Multidots states on its site that it has completed 300-plus website migrations and moved 2.5 million-plus pages, with zero downtime, roughly 60 percent average performance improvement and up to 98 percent SEO traffic retention. Those are the firm's own figures rather than independently verified ones, so treat them as positioning, but the four-phase process behind them is sensible: audit and planning, migration execution, testing and debugging, then training and support. NAB Show is named as a Drupal to WordPress migration client, with a testimonial from its VP of Audience Development.

On credentials it is the strongest entry here for a procurement-heavy buyer. Multidots is listed at Premier tier in the WordPress VIP service partner directory, and its own site lists WordPress VIP Gold and Top Gold partner status, a Sanity CMS agency partnership, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, an Inc. 5000 listing and a Clutch Global Award for 2025. It states over 125 team members across three continents, with Austin and London locations and further presence in Canada and India. Other case studies reference Foursquare, This Old House, Accenture, Oracle, Storyful, Ryman, Sneaker News and Wonderwall.

Worst fit: anyone shopping for a cheap lift and shift. The positioning is explicitly enterprise and mission critical. It is also a weaker fit if you want one co-located team in your timezone, since delivery spans three continents.

5. Human Made

Founded 2011. Best for: large global organisations that want a long-term platform partner, not a migration vendor.

Human Made is one of the longest-established enterprise WordPress agencies, and Drupal is named first in its migrations service line: seamless migrations from Drupal, Adobe, Sitecore, SAP and more. The wider offer covers development, retainers, audits and staff augmentation, and the agency carries unusual WordPress core credibility, with WordPress co-founder Mike Little on the team.

The reason to hire them is continuity. If your Drupal exit is really the start of a five-year content platform strategy, buying a migration from a firm whose default engagement is an ongoing partnership makes more sense than buying it from a shop that hands over and leaves. Altis, Human Made's own WordPress-based DXP, is a plausible destination if you want a managed platform rather than a bare WordPress install, and the firm is an Altis Cloud partner as well as a Pantheon and Kinsta partner. It is listed at Premier tier in the WordPress VIP service partner directory with Migrations among its listed capabilities, lists WordPress VIP Gold agency partner status on its own site, and publishes SOC 2 Type II certification. Client work includes Standard Chartered, Harvard Gazette, Google, NASA, Skyscanner, Siemens, The Sun, TechCrunch, Fairfax Media and Capgemini. The company is registered in Matlock in the United Kingdom, is fully remote with staff in more than a dozen countries, and the VIP directory lists coverage across the UK, US and Asia.

Worst fit: SMBs, and anyone who wants a fixed-scope migration followed by no relationship at all. The Drupal migration sits inside a broad enterprise services offer, so the buying conversation will be about a platform partnership rather than a discrete project.

6. Evolving Web

Founded 2007. Best for: institutions that have not yet decided whether leaving Drupal is the right call.

Evolving Web is the honest-broker entry, and it is on this list for a reason no other firm here can claim. It runs genuine Drupal and WordPress practices at the same time. It is a Diamond Certified Drupal Partner and simultaneously a WordPress VIP service partner, listed in the VIP directory with expertise in major platform upgrades and migrations, and it has worked with WordPress since 2007. If you are a university weighing a Drupal 11 upgrade against a WordPress move, almost every other vendor you call has a commercial interest in one answer. This one does not.

The other differentiator is training. Evolving Web runs a public training programme it states has trained more than 5,000 professionals, plus the EvolveDigital summits, and it builds in-house team capability as part of engagements. For a public-sector or higher-ed team that has to run the platform for a decade with limited headcount, that is worth more than a faster launch. Client work includes McGill University, McMaster University, Princeton University's School of Public and International Affairs, the Royal Ontario Museum, Planned Parenthood Direct, York University, Loyalist College, Red Deer Polytechnic, Beneva and Northwest Territories Parks. The firm is based in Montreal with a team spanning 29 countries, and the VIP directory lists coverage across Canada and the USA.

Worst fit: anyone who has already decided on WordPress and wants a fast, fixed-scope migration. Their published migration pages lead with Drupal upgrades and moves onto Drupal, so a WordPress-destination project gets scoped from first principles rather than pulled off a shelf. Their client base also skews to Canadian and US institutional work rather than commercial publishing or ecommerce.

7. XWP

Best for: large publishers where the real risk in leaving Drupal is traffic, ad revenue and archive integrity at scale.

XWP organises around five service lines, one of which is literally called Migrate, with the pitch being to move onto WordPress without losing traffic or revenue. The specialism is mass-scale, high-traffic publishing work, including decoupled and headless destinations and multisite consolidation. The documented migrations are genuinely impressive at the top end: Newsweek onto a decoupled WordPress VIP platform, Daily Kos with 88 million comments migrated, News Corp Australia, and OFX from Sitecore.

Those numbers are the buying case. If your Drupal estate is a publishing archive where the risk is measured in ad impressions and twenty years of comment threads, the engineering problem you have is one XWP has already solved on other source systems. It is listed at Premier tier in the WordPress VIP service partner directory, states it was one of WordPress.com VIP's first Gold Partner agencies and the only partner to have won both the Partner Innovator and Gold Partner awards, and is a Pantheon Strategic Partner and WP Engine's highest-level agency partner. Clutch lists 30-plus reviews at a 4.9 average. Client work includes Vox Media, News Corp, Penske Media Corporation, Daily Kos, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Google, Twitch, Australian Geographic, OFX and SpaceNews.

Worst fit: anyone outside publishing and enterprise. There is an important caveat for this category too. XWP markets migration from proprietary and legacy CMS platforms in general terms rather than as a named Drupal offer, so what you are buying is large-scale migration engineering, and you should validate the Drupal-side specifics during discovery rather than assuming a Drupal playbook comes with it.

8. WebDevStudios

Founded 2008. Best for: US mid-market teams who want a domestic, senior, WordPress-native partner with a structured intake.

WebDevStudios has been building WordPress for mid-size and enterprise organisations since 2008, and Content Migrations is a standing service with dedicated landing pages for CMS-to-WordPress moves, including Sitecore to WordPress and custom CMS to WordPress. What sets the intake apart is a data migration questionnaire used to scope engagements before anyone quotes, which forces the awkward questions about content structure to the front of the process instead of the middle.

WordPress VIP describes the firm as having over a decade of experience migrating data from all systems to WordPress and handling data migrations at scale for some of the world's biggest brands, and lists it at Premier tier in the service partner directory. The team is distributed with a base in the Philadelphia area of Pennsylvania. Published client work includes the NBA, Microsoft, Campbell's, Monster, Starbucks, Care.com, Discovery Communications, MTV, Viacom, Comedy Central, Boise State University and Christianity Today.

This is also a strong pick when the migration is really three projects at once: a migration, a redesign and a long-term support arrangement. That bundle is squarely what the agency is built to deliver.

Worst fit: very small budgets, and buyers who want a documented Drupal-native methodology handed to them on day one. Drupal here is covered under the general CMS and data migration practice, so expect the Drupal specifics to be worked out in discovery, and expect a mid-size to enterprise engagement model.

9. Seahawk Media

Best for: small businesses, nonprofits and agencies who need a number quickly.

Seahawk Media is the productized option, and it is on this list because the rest of the category assumes a budget most Drupal site owners do not have. Seahawk runs a dedicated Drupal to WordPress migration service starting at $499, bought through a self-service marketplace, covering transfer of content, users and design components with minimal downtime. Its five-step process covers the CMS itself plus custom fields, addons, content types and navigation menus.

The business model is worth understanding, because it explains the price. Seahawk is primarily a white-label WordPress shop serving agencies and SMBs, and states that over 1,000 agencies and brands use it. That makes it the natural answer for an agency that has sold a Drupal to WordPress migration and cannot staff it internally, as well as for a small organisation that wants the move done without a discovery phase. It also sells site speed work, hacked-site repair, maintenance and SEO around the migration, so the follow-on care exists. The firm is headquartered on Boylston Street in Boston, with further offices listed in Miami, London, Warsaw, Delhi NCR and Ahmedabad.

Worst fit: high-complexity Drupal estates. A $499 entry point buys a straightforward move, and complex taxonomies, custom modules, Views-driven layouts, multilingual content and multisite consolidation all sit well outside what that scope implies. If your Drupal site has real engineering debt, price the work at rtCamp or Multidots instead and treat this as the wrong tool.

Who should hire which

Frequently asked questions

Conclusion

The ranking here is not a straight line from smallest firm to largest. For a global publisher or a regulated enterprise, positions three through eight contain the correct answer without much debate. rtCamp has the most Drupal-specific published methodology and a real Drupal to WordPress VIP case study behind it. Multidots turns migration into a repeatable process and brings the compliance stack a procurement team will ask for. Human Made is the pick when the migration is the opening move in a long platform partnership. Evolving Web is the only firm here that can tell you not to migrate and mean it. XWP is the answer when the archive and the ad revenue are the risk. WebDevStudios is the domestic mid-market bundle of migration, redesign and support. Seahawk Media is the honest answer for a small site with a hard budget ceiling.

We rank first because most Drupal migration briefs are not enterprise briefs. They come from organisations whose organic traffic is the thing genuinely at risk, where the difference between a good migration and a bad one shows up in the analytics two months after launch rather than in the launch announcement. That is the problem we scope around. If it is not your problem, the tables above point at the firm whose problem it is.

Whichever direction you go, decide the shape of your project before you shortlist. Get the Views inventory and the redirect map into the contract, capture the traffic baseline before anyone touches the database, and pick on fit rather than on the size of the logo wall.
