Position: Web Developer (Needed for Data Migration From Drupal To Word Press) (Remote)
Direct Client
Location: Geneseo, NY
Contract: 9+ Months
No OPTs/H1s for this Role.
Job Description:
Project: Migration of SUNY Geneseo s Drupal 10 website (~6,550 pages) and Scene Magazine WordPress site (~450 pages) to a modern WordPress architecture.
Content Migration Requirements
- Accurately migrate all content, media, and metadata from the current Drupal 10 website to the new WordPress environment.
- Demonstrated expertise with Drupal to WordPress migration.
- Content must be structured using WordPress s native Block Editor to ensure flexible, reusable layouts and enable ongoing content management by non-technical users.
- Preserve all taxonomy relationships, metadata, internal associations, and SEO-relevant attributes, including meta titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, and image alt text.
- Maintain independent navigation for subsites and migrate existing menu hierarchies. See the user permissions section for more information.
- Migrate and preserve all existing 301 redirects associated with Drupal content. No URL changes are planned for pages transitioning directly from Drupal. Pages migrated from the WordPress-based Scene Magazine site (~450 pages) will require new 301 redirects to reflect updated URLs.
- Ensure general functional parity with Drupal content types by mapping them to the WordPress content model defined by Geneseo staff or vendor-recommended structures.
Note: The current Drupal site relies on the Bootstrap 5 framework and includes custom CSS and layout behaviors that may not translate directly to WordPress.

- Advanced Pages (with Paragraphs) (approximately 250)
- Faculty Pages (approximately 500)

- Verify SEO metadata, taxonomy, redirects, and general functional parity.
- Perform basic accessibility audits.
- Identify and report any formatting issues.
Performance Optimization
- Migrate and optimize images.
