Engineering-Led Drupal Agency
Drupal platforms built for scale, structure, and long-term ownership
We help organizations design, build, migrate, and support Drupal platforms that stay maintainable across teams, markets, and years.
Ideal Clients
Built for organizations with real Drupal complexity
We work best with teams and organizations that treat Drupal as a strategic platform — not a website builder.
Multilingual & Multi-region
Organizations publishing across languages, markets, and regions who need a coherent content model that scales.
Complex Content Structures
Platforms with sophisticated editorial workflows, structured content types, and distributed teams of editors.
Migration & Modernization
Teams planning an upgrade from Drupal 7/8/9, a legacy platform overhaul, or a move to a modern content architecture.
Long-Term Platform Ownership
Organizations that need a trusted technical partner for ongoing governance, upgrades, and platform evolution.
Not for brochure sites or one-off projects. We work best in long-term collaborative partnerships with teams that have real platform complexity to solve.

Our Principles
Why teams choose DrupalBook
We are a boutique, engineering-led agency. That means every architectural decision has a rationale, every system is designed to evolve, and every client platform is built to be understood by the next developer — not just the one who built it.
Structure Over Shortcuts
We invest in the right content model and architecture upfront, so the platform stays clean as it grows.
Editors First
Editorial experience is not an afterthought. We design systems for the people who use them every day.
Upgradeability Is a Feature
Every platform we build is designed to be upgraded. We document decisions and avoid traps that make upgrades painful.
Transparency Over Black Boxes
Clients always understand what was built, why, and how. No obscure custom code that only we can maintain.
Our Process
A platform mindset, not a project mindset
We don't deliver websites and move on. We build platforms designed to evolve, with explicit decisions, documented rationale, and a clear path forward.
Audit & Discovery
Understand your architecture, content structure, workflows, integrations, and risks. Identify what needs to change and what should be preserved.
Platform Design
Define the content model, editorial experience, component strategy, and all major technical decisions — with written rationale.
Delivery & Migration
Build, refactor, upgrade, or migrate — in structured phases with clear handoffs, full test coverage, and documentation at every step.
Long-Term Ownership
Ongoing support, governance, upgrade planning, and incremental improvement — as a trusted technical partner, not a support ticket queue.
Open Source
Deeply rooted in the Drupal ecosystem
Our open-source modules are used by thousands of Drupal sites worldwide. They reflect the same principles we bring to every client engagement.
Extra Block Types (EBT)
A comprehensive suite of reusable, layout-ready block types for Drupal's Layout Builder. EBT gives editors a structured, consistent toolkit for building pages without writing markup.
Extra Paragraph Types (EPT)
A suite of pre-built, structured Paragraph types for the Paragraphs module. EPT accelerates content modeling with consistent, well-structured components ready for editorial use out of the box.
Our open-source work reflects our delivery principles
The same discipline we apply to EBT and EPT — practical architecture, editorial flexibility, structural integrity, long-term maintainability — is what we bring to every client platform.
- Practical architecture over clever abstractions
- Editorial flexibility by design
- Structural integrity from day one
- Long-term maintainability built in
- Transparent implementation decisions
- Upgrade path considered from the start
