Mission-critical platform, 500,000+ users
Lead developer. 150+ modules in production, AWS and Azure infrastructure, WCAG 2.2 compliance, and the accessibility guidance every Drupal project there now follows.

Web platforms that have to work for everyone, in every language
I build, migrate and maintain large multilingual Drupal platforms for government agencies and enterprises — the systems where downtime, a failed audit or an inaccessible page all have consequences.

The situation
Large public-sector platforms accumulate risk quietly
Accessibility obligations became enforceable in June 2025. Major Drupal versions reach end of life on a fixed schedule that nobody plans for. Performance degrades as content grows, and the usual answer is an expensive rebuild that doesn't address the actual cause.
Most of it is diagnosable in two weeks and fixable without starting over. Every service below begins with a small, fixed-price piece of work that ends in a document you can take to a budget holder.
Services
Six ways I work with organisations running Drupal
When this comes up: a new platform, a replatform, or a rebuild that stalled
Platform builds
New Drupal platforms for large multilingual sites. Information architecture, editorial workflows, multi-site and multi-language, accessibility built in from the start, and migration off the legacy system.
Builds from €65,000Scope & process When this comes up: security support is ending on your versionUpgrade & migration
A readiness assessment first — module inventory, custom code risk, contrib gaps and a costed phased path. Then the migration itself, priced from what the assessment found.
Assessment €4,900Scope When this comes up: a legal obligation or a procurement requirementAccessibility compliance
WCAG 2.2 AA audit, automated and manual, tested with assistive technology. Findings ranked by severity, a remediation estimate, and a draft accessibility statement.
Audit from €5,900Scope When this comes up: the site is slow, or a rebuild is being consideredPerformance & scale
Profiling, caching strategy, database and query analysis, search index tuning, front-end budget. Find out whether you need a rebuild before you buy one.
Audit from €5,900Scope When this comes up: nobody is patching, or a penetration test landedSecurity & maintenance
Monthly retainer covering patch management, dependency updates, monitoring, backup verification, incident response and a fixed pool of change hours.
From €750/monthTiers When this comes up: the module you need doesn't existCustom development
Bespoke modules, API and system integrations, identity and payment connections, import pipelines, document automation and editorial tooling.
