Drupal Audit

A comprehensive analysis of your Drupal website can make a decisive contribution to making the right decisions for the future. Does a migration make sense or is a completely new start or a hybrid approach better? Can certain functionalities be better replaced and integrated by external tools or is an in-house, customized solution/programming better and more sustainable? The foundation for success in the digital space is often laid at the very beginning. Setting the right course can have an enormous impact, possibly over the entire lifetime of your digital product ... until the EoL (End-of-Life).

With Tojio's Drupal Audit Service, you receive a detailed inventory and clear recommendations for the next steps. It doesn't matter whether you then continue with us or use the results as a sound basis for a new tender.

What happens after a website audit?

As mentioned above, you are not bound to us and can also use the results for a tender, for example. If the project is taken over by Tojio, a correction & adjustment phase may be required (necessity would result from the audit) before we can continue with the development of new features, for example.
