Is your business website running old software? It may be time to consider upgrading and refreshing the look of your site. If you are still running Drupal you are missing out on amazing benefits your site could be doing to help you get more customers and business.
Drupal 7 is Coming to an End! the End is Near!
As Drupal 7’s end-of-life (EOL) approaches, consider the following:
Remember: After 5 January 2025, Drupal 7 will no longer receive security or compatibility updates. If you are still running Drupal 7 beyond this date, your website will be vulnerable to security risks and may face compatibility issues.
- Security Risks: Drupal 7 will stop receiving updates from the security team, leaving sites vulnerable to publicized security threats.
- Limited Support: Drupal.org will end support for Drupal 7 tasks like documentation, navigation, automated testing, and packaging.
- Migration Options: Upgrade to supported versions like Drupal 9 or 10, or consider other CMS platforms like WordPress or Contentful. (We recommend and use WordPress which powers 40% of the websites out today)
- User Communication: If upgrading isn’t viable, inform users about your security measures but don’t take risks in your business.
