HSK has enjoyed a long working relationship with Maltalingua School, is one of Malta’s top-rated English language schools. We provided drupal maintenance and support services their website. Back in 2012, HSK Software Services was entrusted to build their multilingual, content-rich website using Drupal 7. The platform successfully supported the school’s global visibility, multilingual content needs, and booking inquiries for several years. 

By 2025, the growing need for modern architecture, better performance, and long-term Drupal support led us to migrate the entire platform to Drupal 10, ensuring scalability, security, and enhanced user experience.
 

The Challenge 

  • Aging Drupal 7 architecture nearing end-of-life
  • Need for modern, mobile-first design and improved accessibility
  • SEO performance and multilingual support had to remain intact
  • Complex content types and data migration across multiple languages
  • Zero downtime and disruption to active lead generation and booking
     

Our Solution

  • Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 Migration 

    We performed a complete and structured migration of all content, files, media assets, and custom entities to Drupal 10, ensuring data integrity and preserving SEO value.
     

  • Theme Redesign & Responsive UX 

    While keeping the core branding intact, we modernized the theme using Drupal 10’s Twig templating, making it more responsive, faster, and accessible.
     

  • Multilingual Optimization 

    We migrated and enhanced the site’s multilingual capabilities, ensuring that English, German, Italian, French, and Spanish versions retained full functionality post-migration.
     

  • Performance Improvements 

    By leveraging Drupal 10’s modern caching and configuration management tools, we dramatically improved page load times and backend performance.
     

  • Security Hardening & Long-Term Stability 

    The site is now future-ready, with long-term Drupal community support, security updates, and an easier upgrade path moving forward.
