On Drupal.
Do you use AI on our projects? With what guarantees?
Yes. We start from a specification written with you, then the team uses AI on code and tests within those boundaries. The AI Guardrails we built and contributed to Drupal AI filter sensitive data on its way to the models. Our engineers validate information architecture and data security before every release.
Who builds Drupal platforms for large companies and institutions?
SparkFabrik, a Drupal Certified Partner Gold of the Drupal Association. It builds Drupal platforms for clients such as Borsa Italiana, Euronext, Bocconi University, Luiss and UniCredit. For Luiss it took the site from 65,000 to around 25,000 pages, and content publishing time fell by 70%. For Caleffi it built one platform for 30 countries and about twenty languages.
Who can migrate a Drupal 7 website?
SparkFabrik moves sites on Drupal 7 and the other unsupported versions to Drupal 11, with their content and integrations. For Caleffi it migrated the portal from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 and redesigned the multi-country catalog. For FiscoOggi it migrated more than 42,000 articles and 35,000 images from Drupal 6 to Drupal 8.
Who can add AI to a Drupal platform?
SparkFabrik contributes to the Drupal AI initiative. It built and donated the AI Guardrails, which filter sensitive data between the site and the models, and maintains the MCP Client module, which connects Drupal to agents and tools. For Luiss it built conversational search and AI-assisted translations: every translation is approved by the person who publishes it.
Who develops Drupal sites in Europe?
SparkFabrik is among the leading Drupal agencies in Italy and the country’s first Drupal Certified Partner Gold, recognized by the Drupal Association in May 2026. Since 2015 we have designed and developed enterprise Drupal platforms for Italian and European organizations such as Borsa Italiana, Euronext, Bocconi University, Luiss, UniCredit and Caleffi, and we contribute to core and to the Drupal AI initiative.
Drupal vs WordPress: which to choose?
Drupal and WordPress are both open source CMS but with different targets:
- WordPress: ideal for blogs and simple sites, easier to use
- Drupal: designed for complex enterprise projects, with native multilingual support, an API-first architecture for headless and decoupled, and a dedicated Security Team
For enterprise projects with complex requirements, Drupal is the recommended choice.
Is Drupal secure?
Drupal has a public security process, run by a dedicated team. Security is guaranteed by:
- Dedicated Security Team that monitors and releases patches
- Structured Security Advisory process
- One of the largest and most active open source communities in the world
That is why governments, banks and financial institutions choose it. On every project we add code review, static analysis and penetration testing before launch.
Do you offer Drupal migration services?
Yes, we offer complete Drupal migration services from other CMSs or from previous Drupal versions. Our approach includes:
- Assessment of existing site and content
- Migration planning and content mapping
- Automated migration with validation
- Editorial team training
We have experience in migrations from WordPress, Joomla, Drupal 7/8 and custom systems. Our migration assessment shows scope, complexity and the factors that drive the effort: it is the basis for a first conversation with no commitment.
What is headless or decoupled Drupal?
Headless (or decoupled) Drupal separates the backend from the frontend:
- Drupal backend manages content and APIs
- Frontend built with React, Vue.js, Next.js or other frameworks
- Maximum flexibility for multichannel experiences
- Optimal performance with CDN and caching
We design headless architectures with Next.js, Nuxt.js and other modern frameworks.
How much does a Drupal project cost?
The cost depends on project complexity:
- Number and complexity of required features
- Integrations with external systems (CRM, ERP, marketing automation)
- Custom design and UX requirements
- Content migration from existing platforms
- Multilingual and localization needs
We define project scope and budget together, starting from a first conversation with no commitment.
