Drupal 7 End of Life: Why WordPress Migration with PaperStreet is the Smart Move

As of January 2025, Drupal 7 will officially reach end-of-life status, meaning no more security updates, support, or maintenance from the Drupal community. For law firms relying on Drupal 7 to power their website, this change leaves two options: migrate to Drupal 11 or switch to an alternative CMS. Our opinion? This is a no-brainer. It’s time to get on board with WordPress. At PaperStreet, we recommend a migration to WordPress for a cost-effective, user-friendly solution that will improve your site management and future-proof your digital presence.

Why Choose WordPress Over Upgrading to Drupal 11?

Cost Savings

Transitioning from Drupal 7 to Drupal 11 often requires a significant website rebuild or extensive code modifications, both of which are costly. A WordPress migration is generally more affordable and less complex.

Better For Your Internal Team; Easy Updates

WordPress provides a highly intuitive interface, making content management easier and accessible for your team without specialized training. We build all of our websites in WordPress and train lawyers, receptionists, office admins and dedicated marketing managers how to use the system on a weekly basis – they pick it up quickly and so will you.

More Plugin Options

With thousands of plugins available, WordPress allows for extensive customization and quick implementation of new features without major development overhead.

SEO and Marketing Advantages

WordPress is well-known for its SEO-friendly architecture, making it easier to improve visibility and performance on search engines. It’s the number one content management system for a reason. (And, no, that’s not a marketing pitch, it’s a fact.)

Updated Frequently

WordPress is updated at least monthly, ensuring your site remains secure and up-to-date with the latest improvements. It might not sound like a lot to you, but as a team of developers, an updated CMS means less problems and enhanced security.
