We’ve introduced WordPress, one of the most popular Content Management Systems (CMS), in our previous posts. WordPress is popular due to its ease to use. With “What You See Is What You Get” (WYSIWYG) feature, WordPress is extremely handy for those with no coding knowledge. However, users who are used to hand-code for building a website will choose Drupal over WordPress.
Drupal is a free software package that allows an individual or a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website. Tens of thousands of people and organizations are using Drupal to power scores of different web sites, including
- Community web portals
- Discussion sites
- Corporate web sites
- Intranet applications
- Personal web sites or blogs
- Aficionado sites
- E-commerce applications
- Resource directories
- Social Networking sites
The built-in functionality of Drupal, combined with dozens of freely available add-on modules, will enable features such as:
- Content Management Systems
- Blogs
- Collaborative authoring environments
- Forums
- Peer-to-peer networking
- Newsletters
- Podcasting
- Picture galleries
- File uploads and downloads
