Migrations costs for D7 EOL

March 15, 2022

While the Drupal security team has announced they are pushing back Drupal 7 EOL until November 1, 2023, that will come sooner than we think. This is not the time to be building new sites or new features on existing Drupal 7 sites. We can all use this extra time to thoughtfully migrate our sites into a CMS that will be supported long term.

So what does it take to migrate your site from Drupal 7 to a supported CMS on budget and on schedule? The first question is always: how much is this going to cost?

Here are some links to hosting services that we provide to our customers

2021 in Review

December 16, 2021

As the year draws to a close, it can feel busier than ever: trying to wrap things up (literally and metaphorically!) can take a lot of time and it’s difficult to carve out time for reflection. 

One of Fibonacci’s core values is sustainability, which means we’re committed to the long-term: building products that are sustainable, cultivating a work culture that is sustainable for our team, and investing in a sustainable open source community. And the only way we know how to do that is by building in time for reflection.
