Existing websitesColabs

Support for websites that still need to work.

Not every existing website needs to be replaced immediately. Some need careful maintenance. Some need accessibility fixes. Some need a migration plan. Some need a few focused improvements to keep serving users well. Colabs helps organisations maintain, improve and modernise existing websites without forcing a full rebuild too early.

Existing platforms

Improve what works. Replace what does not.

Many organisations rely on websites that still serve users, even when the technology, templates or editing experience need attention.

We help you understand what you have, what still works, what needs attention and what can be simplified without unnecessary complexity.

A full rebuild can be the right choice, but it should not be the automatic answer to every existing website problem.

Simpler next steps

Sometimes the next site should be simpler.

A migration does not always need to lead to another large CMS implementation. If the current website has become too complex for the actual content needs, a lighter static or hybrid approach may be a better fit.

We help separate what your organisation really needs from what the old platform happened to include.

This is a good fit when:

  • Your existing website still matters but needs attention
  • Small changes have become slow, expensive or risky
  • You need accessibility fixes but do not want a full rebuild yet
  • You want to understand whether to maintain, migrate or replace the platform
  • Your internal team needs senior frontend or Drupal support
  • You want a migration plan that avoids unnecessary platform complexity

What we can help with

  • Bug fixes
  • Frontend improvements
  • Drupal theming and template changes
  • Accessibility remediation
  • Content structure improvements
  • Module and dependency review
  • Risk assessment
  • Documentation
  • Migration planning
  • Ongoing support retainers
Drupal 7

Still on Drupal 7? You need a plan, not panic.

Drupal 7 has reached end of life. That does not always mean your organisation can replace the website tomorrow. It does mean you need a clear view of the risks, dependencies and most realistic path forward.

Colabs can help stabilise existing Drupal 7 websites, improve accessibility where possible and plan a careful migration without turning every project into a full redesign.

Process

You may not need a big bang rebuild.

A full new website can be the right decision. But it is not the only decision.

1. Understand the current platform

2. Identify urgent risks

3. Keep essential functionality working

4. Simplify content and templates

5. Plan a phased migration

6. Redesign only where it adds real value
