Drupal portal development for public institutions and businesses

A Drupal portal is a website built on Drupal, an open source content management system used by governments and large institutions worldwide, including the European Commission and numerous ministries. For a government body, its key advantages are: compliance with accessibility standards (WCAG), security audited by an active community, granular permission architecture for editorial workflows with multiple approval levels, and no proprietary licensing costs.

It depends on the volume and complexity of the content being migrated, but a typical institutional migration project takes between 6 and 12 weeks: source site analysis, content mapping, automated data migration, editorial review and testing. Projects with simpler content structures can be completed faster; those requiring an information architecture redesign take longer.

Drupal already integrates AI at several levels: assisted content generation, machine translation with human review, semantic search engines, and automation of repetitive editorial tasks. The key is using it to support human editorial judgment, not replace it — for example, generating first drafts or suggesting SEO metadata, always reviewed before publishing. See the next question for how to structure this robustly.

Using AI with Drupal isn't just about connecting ChatGPT or another model to your CMS. What we do is design an organization of specialized agents around your editorial workflow: you or the AI generate the content, a style-correction agent reviews it before publishing, a data-validation agent verifies the information is accurate and consistent, and a scope-control agent ensures content isn't created in unauthorized parts of your site. It's not just about "using AI" — it's about giving it clear rules, structure, and real knowledge of your business. We know how to design and implement this kind of architecture — contact us to discuss your case.
