Good day,

We have a website which was originally installed as a multi-site installation on D7 which we want to migrate to a single-site installation on D10, however also considering going on BackDropCMS. The site has 1939 nodes. Please advise best quotation thanks

It would be helpful to have a full list of enabled contrib modules in your D7 version.

Hi PRBGirl

I would be happy to quote for you.  The quantity of nodes is rarely a factor but the design requirements and functionality requirements will have the biggest influence.  That said, a Backdrop CMS site is likely to be cheaper than Drupal 10/11.

My backdropcms.org profile includes my website address where you can easily send me a message through my contact form.  You can also see by the number of modules I have ported/created and maintain that I am experienced in Backdrop.

Kind regards

Martin

As you can see there are a number of developers that are experienced in Backdrop CMS who might be able to help you. 

While you have a few excellent names already, we'll add ours to the list, just in case.

Hello @,

May I suggest that you prepare and issue an RFQ?

This will help you to:

  • Understand the true magnitude of the work, regardless of whether you elect to go  with Drupal or Backdrop.  
  • Establish (and conform to) a realistic calendar
  • Establish (and stay within) a realistic budget
  • Control your scope and prevent scope-creep
  • Ease your communications with your service provider (common point of reference)
  • Educate upper management (if needed) regarding the challenge & solution
  • Signal your seriousness regarding this project
  • Upskill yourself regarding this valuable business process

I am personally willing (and able) to help you undertake the RFQ preparation process on a "no strings attached" basis, so that when you do circulate the initial RFQ to the Backdrop Service Provider Community (we all know each other), the best outcome possible for you is accomplished.

Based on the response(s) you get, it may turn out that each of us works on your project exclusively, or you choose to use each Service Provider to solve the piece of the puzzle that they know best, composing a "virtual team" that you manage.  

It's up to you.

Personally speaking, I am very focused on Project Management, Budgets, Projections and other forms of Control (Documentation).  I taught this at the University level for over 20 year (I took early retirement).

Preparing an RFQ takes less than a month and seriously empowers the buyer.  It more than pays for itself in terms of reducing wasted time and effort.

Consider it.
