Our Drupal Support Services: An Overview
Is investing in your Drupal maintenance services worth our time and money?
Undoubtedly, investing in Drupal maintenance and support services is always worth it. As an example, we had a customer come to us who hadn't updated their site for years; the security was so weak that we were forced to completely rebuild from scratch. Instead of spending just hundreds of dollars in one month or quarter, the customer ended up having to invest thousands of dollars into fixing all their issues
Rather than pondering if Drupal maintenance/support is beneficial, the more appropriate inquiry would be, "How often should I receive Drupal maintenance and support assistance?"
Looking for Drupal Support & Maintenance services? Our team of trained specialists are eager to help you!
Drupal Maintenance Frequency
Our Drupal maintenance company encourages all its customers to have a maintenance contract for their website. Although with different types of sites come distinct requirements; for instance, brochure-style websites may require upkeep just several times a year while an eCommerce page would necessitate weekly maintenance!
Below is the breakdown of our recommended website maintenance frequency. Disclaimer: If there is a security update, then you should update your site right away, no matter your maintenance plan.
| Type Of Site | Monthly | Quarterly |
|---|---|---|
| Government |  |  |
| eCommerce |  |  |
| Heavy publishing |  |  |
| Social media |  |  |
| Forums/Job Portals |  |  |
| Intranet site |  |  |
| Basic business site |  |  |
| Basic brochure site |  |  |
| Static content |  |  |
Have you ever experienced the frustration of your Drupal website suddenly going offline? This is a common occurrence that can be avoided with proper maintenance. To save yourself time and money, here are some tell-tale signs to watch out for which will signal the need for an update or tune-up on your site.
Symptoms of a broken Drupal website
- Your Configuration or Admin panel says there are security updates available
- You’re on a older version of Drupal
- Your Drupal “Status Reports” states there are updates
- Your super admin user has received an update email notice from the Drupal.org
- Slow site speed
- Broken URLs
- Increase in errors in Google Webmaster
- You can’t remember the last time you updated your site
Whether you need assistance updating your Drupal site depends largely on how much experience you have with it. If the idea of logging into a backend fills you with dread and custom modules are completely foreign to you, then it's best to hire professionals who can help. On the other hand, if years of working in Drupal has made you an expert at navigating its inner workings, including making commits to Drupal.org – chances are that personal intervention is not necessary for keeping your website up-to-date.
You should hire a Drupal maintenance company if:
- You have several custom modules
- You’re migrating Drupal versions
- You have several different servers
- You’re several Drupal updates behind
- You’ve never updated your site before
- Have several custom integrations
- You have no internal staff to do security upgrades
- You need training and documentation
- You have a difficult Drupal backend
- You’ve never coded in your life
- No idea what you’re doing
To make the most of your maintenance costs, you should aim for a minimum of 10 hours each month spent optimizing Drupal. This window should be plenty to take care of essential module updates, security patches and even some minor modifications that may crop up while running the site.
To receive a steady flow of development changes each month, you must invest 20+ hours/month.
Projected Drupal maintenance hours
- Basic updates - 10 hrs/month
- Basic updates + some development: 20 hrs/month
- Advanced updates + heavy development: 40+ hrs/month
There are several hundred Drupal support companies, with many claiming to be the best. However,
What questions should you make when selecting a Drupal support company?
- How many support/maintenance clients do you currently have?
- What is your support/maintenance client retention rate?
- Can I have some client references?
- How long have you been in business?
- Do my unused maintenance hours roll over each month?
- What is your response time to my problem?
- Do I get a dedicated support line?
- What if I have a problem after hours/weekends?
- What versions of Drupal do you support?
