✨Is your website ready for Drupal 10?✨
Depending on your current Drupal core version your path to D10 may look different. We are here to help!

🚨Drupal 7 ~ There is no direct upgrade from D7 to D10. This requires a full site rebuild to update to Drupal 10.

🚨Drupal 8 ~ There is no direct upgrade from D8 to D10, we can build you a custom plan to upgrade from D8 to D9 and finally to D10!

🚨Drupal 9 ~ D9 will reach end of life in November 2023. While you can still technically run a D9 site after this date, we do not recommend this as the Drupal community will no longer be maintaining modules or security features that ensure your site is secure.

Our recommended approach is a Drupal 10 readiness report to help determine D10 compatibility. Contact the Support team at [email protected] today to start your journey Drupal 10.

Is there a better way to kick off Summer 2021 than with a beach cruiser?

All Fenix employees were gifted a fun beach cruiser bicycle today to thank them for their hard work and kick start summer.

Managed to find 7 of the same bikes to gift, plus a bike to Portland Oregon!! And they are "on brand" for Fenix :)

Only one employee didn't get one because we couldn't get a bike shipped to his location.

Thank you fenix employees for all your hard work, it is appreciated. Now go enjoy summer!

Since fenix is turning 20 this year we wanted to get everyone a fun gift. This seemed perfect
