Drupal Agency London

Drupal as a popular modern CMS has been a staple of web development at MintTwist for over half a decade now. While WordPress and other CMS’ have their popularity spikes, often there is a preference for, a requirement to use or an existing system already built with Drupal. We support older versions of Drupal, are preparing in advance for new upcoming versions and can help you decide which CMS or version is best for you.

Drupal succeeds at an enterprise level where other CMS’s can struggle because of the complexity and options regarding content authoring, user access and rights management which far exceeds that of other comparable CMS’s, making Drupal the ideal choice in situations that require a high level of control and management.

    The current state of Drupal

    Like most CMS’s, Drupal has versioning numbers that can be complex, but there are three main versions of Drupal to talk about. Drupal 6 and below are all now in end-of-life, which means while they can be supported by MintTwist, they no longer receive core updates from Drupal.  This means that these older versions could potentially see more security and support issues as time goes on.

    Drupal 7, which was first released in 2011, is approaching its end-of-life. It will no longer receive official support from the Drupal community after November 2022. Drupal 8, which was released in 2015, will reach its end-of-life in November 2025. Currently, Drupal 7 still has a significant number of websites running on it, with estimates ranging from 150,000 to 200,000 sites. Meanwhile, Drupal 8 has approximately 70,000 websites using it. As for Drupal 9, it is estimated to have about 10,000 websites currently running on it, but this number is expected to grow in the coming years as more website owners migrate from older versions.

    Drupal 9 features significant improvements over its predecessor, Drupal 8, including better performance, enhanced security features, and easier updates. The migration from Drupal 8 to Drupal 9 is relatively straightforward, which has encouraged many website owners to make the switch.

    Drupal 10 is built on top of the same technology stack as Drupal 9, which makes the migration process much easier for existing Drupal 9 users. Drupal continues to evolve and improve, and the community is dedicated to ensuring that it remains a powerful and flexible option for website owners of all sizes and types.
