Custom Drupal Development for Complex, Content-Rich Sites
Looking for expert Drupal development and support? With more than 15 years building enterprise content systems, we specialize in Drupal customization, migration, and integration. We help organizations get more from their Drupal sites without rebuilding from scratch.
What Drupal Does Well
Drupal is a powerful, enterprise-grade open-source content management system trusted by governments, universities, nonprofits, and global enterprises. Known for its flexibility, security, and depth of content modeling, Drupal scales from simple websites to complex multilingual platforms serving millions of users.
Unlike CMS platforms built for simple publishing, Drupal is designed for organizations that need real control over content structure, user roles, and system integrations. Its modular architecture and rich contributed ecosystem make it ideal for connecting Drupal with the rest of your tech stack, from CRMs and identity providers to learning systems and association management platforms.
Why Choose Drupal?
✔ Built for Complex Content Architecture
Drupal handles content modeling that other CMS platforms struggle with: custom entity types, taxonomies, complex relationships, and multilingual content built in. Whether you need structured publishing, member directories, or content workflows, Drupal supports it natively.
✔ Enterprise-Grade Security
Drupal’s security team is one of the most active in open source, with coordinated disclosure and regular patches. Major governments and Fortune 500 companies rely on Drupal precisely because of its security track record.
✔ Integration-Ready Architecture
With first-class REST and JSONAPI support, Drupal connects cleanly to identity providers like Auth0, Okta, and Azure AD via SAML and OpenID Connect. It also integrates with CRMs, payment systems, and association management platforms. Headless and decoupled architectures are fully supported.
✔ Built-In Migration Tooling
Drupal’s Migrate API was designed specifically for moving content between systems: from older Drupal versions, from WordPress, from custom databases, or from legacy systems. We use it on every migration project to keep content intact and structured.
What We Offer: Drupal Development and Support Services
Designed for stability, security, and long-term flexibility.
At Lightning Workgroup, we provide end-to-end Drupal development and support. From new builds to ongoing maintenance and complex migrations, our team has been working in Drupal for over a decade.
Drupal Customization and Module Development
Need functionality that contrib modules do not cover? We build custom Drupal modules tailored to your specific workflows, from custom entity types and advanced user controls to integrations with proprietary systems. Custom code follows Drupal coding standards so future upgrades stay manageable.
Drupal Migration and Version Upgrades
Drupal 7 reached end-of-life in January 2025. Drupal 9 reached end-of-life in November 2023. If your site is on either version, you need a plan. We handle Drupal 7 to 10/11 migrations, content restructuring, theme rebuilds, and module replacements. The work is tedious. We do it carefully.
System Integration and SSO
Drupal connects to identity providers, CRMs, payment systems, and learning platforms. We have built SSO integrations into Drupal sites that authenticate against Auth0, Okta, Azure AD, and ADFS via SAML or OpenID Connect, then sync user data and roles across all the systems users need access to.
Ongoing Support and Maintenance
Stay secure and up to date with proactive Drupal support. We handle security patches, version updates, performance tuning, bug fixes, and ongoing development. See a case study of our SLA in action.
A Strong Open Source Foundation
The Drupal community maintains tens of thousands of contributed modules covering everything from authentication to ecommerce to learning management. For most functionality you need, there is already a well-maintained module, which means faster delivery, lower costs, and easier long-term maintenance. Where contrib does not exist, custom development fills the gap cleanly.
Drupal’s open source model also means no vendor lock-in. The code is yours, the data is yours, and the community is global. The migration risks that come with proprietary platforms simply do not exist.
