What Is Drupal?

Drupal is a powerful and flexible open source content management system (CMS). It can be used to power a variety of online features: blogs, forums, developer communities, news portals, membership-only services, online video platforms, mobile app services, e-commerce, and more. It has a large, passionate developer community that is rapidly growing in size. Drupal continues to win top CMS awards.

Why Drupal?

  • Flexibility: Drupal can be modified, customized, and extended to do just about anything.
  • Community: Drupal's large, passionate community continues to grow and contribute back.
  • Costs: companies can often lower their TCO on a per feature basis against other solutions.
  • Scalable: Drupal powers some of the largest websites and communities out there.
