Worldwide Organizations Use Drupal, So Do We!

What is Drupal?

Drupal is a powerful and ever-expanding open source CMS (Content Management System). A CMS tool allows you to build large-scale websites that include hundreds of features. (Some of these features may include comments, user profiles, blogs, image galleries, forms, multimedia, document management, forums, advanced searching, games, social networking, e-commerce etc..) Drupal’s architecture is easily extensible and flexible, making it the top choice for developing user-friendly and user-generated websites.

Drupal’s framework is open source, meaning that it relies on a thriving community of several thousand developers who contribute to improve Drupal functionality and make it succeed. The Drupal community is today one of the fastest growing open source community. As everybody can contribute its own ideas to the software, it guarantees Drupal stays up-to-date with new features, security updates and freshly-developed modules using the latest web technologies.

Who Uses It?

Drupal can be used for brochure websites, single- or multi-user blog, forums, communities with user-generated content, or any corporate website. Many organizations and associations are using Drupal to power an endless variety of sites worldwide ranging from personal blogs to larger intergovernmental and political sites. Nowadays, from small websites to online communities or international organization and governmental websites, Drupal is omnipresent.

Why Drupal?

Numerous discussions and hype have been raised on Drupal’s user-friendly functionality. So what exactly makes it so popular and the ultimate cutting-edge solution web developers turn to when tackling complex projects? We share a few reasons we consider Drupal a core component to our business and why we love working with it:

• It is a free software package.
• It stores content in a data base that can be easily updated in one place and keep the design aspect of the site separate from content.
• It is highly scalable.

Drupal is also highly effective in managing website content for building search-engine-friendly websites. Unlike other Content Management Systems, Drupal enables rapid webpage assembly and its layouts look and feel intuitive to the user. Most importantly, it is extremely easy to manage. But Drupal’s main strength remains that it has a powerful user interface that allows anyone to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website.

With knowledge gathered from our years of experience in the industry, we dedicate our business to providing our clients with the best professional Drupal-based web solutions. We remain loyal to the Drupal community because we truly believe in the competence of Drupal and encourage everyone else to take advantage of this powerful web tool!
