Upgrade to Drupal 9 with Anvil

Drupal 7 and 8 will soon be unsupported, Drupal 9 has arrived and is better then ever.

Why should I upgrade to Drupal 9

End of life of Drupal 7 and Drupal 8

All software needs security updates. This is especially true in the quickly evolving online world. A Content Management System like Drupal is no exception to that rule. Luckily Drupal is one of the most actively maintained CMS'es available that offers regular security updates to fix potential security issues. To enjoy a secure platform that powers your website, staying updated is important.

As of November 2021, Drupal 8 will reach it's official end-of-life and will no longer receive official security updates. Drupal 7 will follow just one year later, in November 2022. To make sure your website stays secure and supported, an upgrade to Drupal 9 will be required.
