Nowadays there are tons of platforms you can use for your site development. You can use them depending on the price, architecture, or your personal liking. If you are not ready or simply don’t need to build a whole website from scratch, you can turn to one of the CMS's (content management systems). They are currently presented in such a variety that you might get lost trying to understand them all. While WordPress remains the most popular option when CMS's come into play, there are a few other options that might suit you even better. One of those is Drupal. Let’s take a closer look at what Drupal is and some famous Drupal websites.
What is Drupal?
Drupal is a content management system that includes standard content-altering features as well as many other features. Unlike WordPress, which is mainly used for blogs, Drupal can be used for a variety of things. This is one of the reasons why there is such a large number of famous Drupal sites. Drupal is a well-developed open-source software that is almost two decades old. As well as the other CMS's, Drupal allows you to manage content to your liking. You can decide how the content will look, who can edit it and how they can edit it, set certain limitations, and so on.
What makes Drupal different from other CMS's is its flexibility and scalability. It’s a very flexible software that allows you to create any content you want. As for scalability, websites using Drupal can use any of the multiple modules already available for the software. And since Drupal CMS is open-source you can create a new module if you didn’t find the one you want.
What are the uses of the Drupal content management system? Due to its flexibility and scalability, Drupal is not restricted to any kind. Given that, websites on Drupal include but aren’t limited to the following:
personal or corporate websites
community portals
blogs, portfolios, multimedia sites
forums
social networking sites
multi-language websites
eCommerce sites
business directories
