Frequently asked questions

How can I verify that a vendor is a real Drupal Certified Partner?

Visit the official Drupal.org Marketplace and search for the vendor’s company profile. All certified partners, like DoodleWeb Canada, have a public listing showing current status, evidence of past projects, and certification dates.

Does a certified partner guarantee my website will be compliant with accessibility standards like AODA?

Certified partners such as DoodleWeb Canada embed accessibility—like AODA and WCAG compliance—into the actual build process, not just as an afterthought. This means compliance requirements are met throughout the project and finished sites pass external audits.

What are the procurement advantages of hiring a certified Drupal partner in Canada?

Certified Drupal partners meet the requirements of most Canadian RFPs for public sector, education, and nonprofit web projects—providing verified experience, public project references, and a documented delivery record, which unlisted firms cannot guarantee.

Is there a difference in ongoing support from a certified partner?

Yes—certified partners provide direct, senior-led support with clear accountability, timely security updates, and proactive performance improvements. This level of ongoing attention reduces downtime and ensures long-term site reliability.

Will my project be handled in Canada or offshored?

DoodleWeb Canada handles every project entirely with senior, Canada-based Drupal engineers—never offshored. This secures communication quality and regulatory compliance while avoiding risks of misalignment from outsourced teams.

How much more does it cost to hire a certified partner for my Drupal project?

Certified partners may have a higher upfront rate, but save your organization money long-term by eliminating technical debt, reducing rebuild cycles, and avoiding expensive compliance fixes or missed deadlines.

Can a certified partner help with Drupal 7 to Drupal 11 migrations?

Yes. DoodleWeb Canada's senior team has real, hands-on experience migrating sites between major Drupal versions—including 7, 9, 10, and newer—ensuring your move is secure, efficient, and fully supported.

Where can I see third-party reviews or independent proof of capability?

You’ll find DoodleWeb Canada independently reviewed on industry directories like Clutch, GoodFirms, Sortlist, and in the Drupal.org Marketplace. Each source tracks verified client feedback and publicly validates technical results.
