Frequently Asked Questions

Should we choose Drupal, WordPress, or Adobe Experience Manager?

Drupal generally suits complex content models, multi-site and multi-department governance, granular permissions, and strict accessibility requirements, which is why it is common across universities, public agencies, and health systems. WordPress generally suits publishing velocity, marketing-owned sites, and teams that need to ship content without engineering support. Adobe Experience Manager generally suits organizations already invested in the Adobe ecosystem that need enterprise digital asset management, multi-market and multi-brand delivery, and tight integration with Adobe Analytics and Adobe Target. BinaryWorks builds all three and recommends based on governance model, content operations, existing technology stack, and roadmap rather than platform preference. Where the answer is not obvious, a platform audit resolves it before budget is committed.

Do you work with Adobe Experience Manager?

Yes. BinaryWorks delivers AEM development, consulting, cloud services, AI services, asset management, integrations, migration and upgrades, and managed services. AEM engagements typically involve organizations standardizing global or multi-brand experiences, moving to AEM as a Cloud Service, or consolidating digital assets across markets. Drupal remains the deepest engineering bench, and AEM is delivered as an enterprise platform capability alongside it.

How much does an enterprise CMS migration cost?

A Drupal 7 to Drupal 11 migration typically runs $75,000 to $150,000 for mid-size organizations and $150,000 to $240,000 for enterprise organizations. Drupal 10 to Drupal 11 upgrades for mid-size platforms typically run $30,000 to $75,000. Hourly rates range from $75 to $300 per hour based on the project. AEM engagements are scoped separately based on licensing model, asset volume, and integration depth.

How long does an enterprise CMS migration take?

A Drupal 7 to Drupal 11 migration typically takes 12 to 20 weeks. A Drupal 10 to Drupal 11 upgrade typically takes 8 to 12 weeks. Cross-platform migrations between Sitecore, AEM, WordPress, and Drupal typically run 24 to 36 weeks depending on content complexity and integration depth.

Why is Drupal the primary specialization?

BinaryWorks was founded as Drupal Partners in 2009 and has delivered Drupal work continuously since. The company is a Drupal Certified Partner with 256 contribution credits on Drupal.org, 29 team members holding contributor profiles, and DrupalCon sponsorship across 2024, 2025, and 2026. WordPress and Adobe Experience Manager are delivered alongside it, but the deepest engineering bench and open-source record are in Drupal.

Can we add AI personalization without rebuilding our CMS?

Yes. Personalization, intelligent search, chatbots, and recommendations integrate into existing Drupal, WordPress, and AEM platforms using LLMs such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and AWS Bedrock, with no rebuild required.

How do we make our site visible to AI search engines?

GEO and AEO use structured content, entity-rich copy, schema markup, and answer-formatted content that AI engines can extract and cite. BinaryWorks starts with an AEO/GEO optimization audit to establish where a brand currently appears across AI answers.

Is our site ADA compliant, and what does it take to get there?

Most sites fail on the same recurring issues: color contrast, keyboard navigation, form labels, heading structure, and inaccessible media. BinaryWorks runs an accessibility audit against WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 AA and Section 508, delivers a prioritized remediation plan, fixes issues in the theme and component layer, and sets editorial guardrails so new content stays compliant. Typical remediation takes 4 to 10 weeks depending on site size. Compliance is ongoing, so monitoring is included in support retainers.

Do you handle marketing, or only development?

Both. Digital Marketing Solutions runs alongside engineering, covering SEO and local SEO, GEO and AEO, content marketing, brand building, paid marketing, social media marketing, email marketing, and conversion rate optimization. Clients engage BinaryWorks for marketing alone, development alone, or both under a single team, which removes the usual handoff between an agency and a development vendor.

Do you support sites you didn't build?

Yes. BinaryWorks takes over existing Drupal, WordPress, and AEM platforms through managed services and support retainers, typically starting with a platform audit covering code quality, security posture, performance, and upgrade readiness.

Does BinaryWorks contribute to the Drupal open-source project?

Yes. BinaryWorks is a Bronze Drupal Certified Partner with 256 organization contribution credits on Drupal.org and 29 team members holding Drupal.org contributor profiles. The company has sponsored DrupalCon Portland 2024, DrupalCon Atlanta 2025, and DrupalCon Chicago 2026, and publishes case studies on Drupal.org.

Which industries does BinaryWorks serve?

5 industries: higher education, healthcare, non-profits and associations, government, and financial services. Each is supported by a dedicated set of outcome-focused solutions covering acquisition, experience, compliance, platform modernization, and operational efficiency.

Who typically hires BinaryWorks?

Manager-level and above decision-makers in Marketing, IT, and Digital Marketing at mid-size to enterprise organizations, most often CMOs, CTOs, CIOs, Chief Digital and Chief Growth Officers, marketing and IT directors, digital strategists, webmasters, and founders or owners.
