Ongoing Drupal support & maintenance

Stop worrying about your Drupal site. I keep it updated, secure, and fast — with a clear monthly scope and a senior Drupal specialist on call.

What ongoing care covers

Your Drupal site, looked after

Most Drupal problems come from sites that quietly fell behind. A maintenance arrangement keeps yours current so small issues never become emergencies.

  • Regular security updates & core/contrib patching
  • Uptime & health monitoring
  • Bug fixes and small enhancements
  • Performance tuning and reviews
  • Priority response when something needs attention
  • Clear monthly scope — no open-ended billing

In depth

What ongoing Drupal maintenance should cover

A useful retainer is more than “someone on email.” It includes scheduled review of security advisories, staged application of patches, monitoring for uptime and error spikes, and a defined bucket of small fixes each month so editorial teams are not blocked waiting for a new project.

Good maintenance also tracks drift: PHP approaching EOL, modules with no Drupal 10/11 release, certificates nearing expiry, and backup jobs that silently stopped. Catching those early is cheaper than emergency rebuilds.

For Drupal 7 sites, maintenance can stabilise the site while migration is funded — but the retainer should include a published target date to reach supported core, not an open-ended stay on EOL software.

Questions

Drupal support — FAQ

What does a Drupal support retainer include?

Typically regular security updates and patching, uptime and health monitoring, bug fixes, small enhancements, and priority response — all within a clear monthly scope with no open-ended billing.

Do you support Drupal 7 sites that are end of life?

In the near term, yes — I can harden and maintain a Drupal 7 site. But because Drupal 7 no longer receives community security updates, the long-term recommendation is to migrate to Drupal 10 or 11.

Can I hire a Drupal developer on a monthly basis?

Yes. Support is offered as a monthly retainer with an agreed scope, so you have a senior Drupal specialist on call without hiring in-house.
