Drupal

Drupal has long been the primary rival to Wordpress. This CMS framework is five years older than Wordpress, but it is still the preferred CMS for some website owners and developers. About two percent of websites across the world are built on the Drupal framework. Those who use the platform are typically passionate about the advantages it offers. Many will claim that other CMS environments have done a better job of simplifying things that Drupal pioneered. That's a fair criticism. One of the chief complaints about this CMS is that it can be difficult to learn and master. Fans of Drupal will point out, however, that almost 40,000 modules which expand the functionality of the program are available for free, and there is also a vast library of themes and templates to choose from. These modules and templates have done a pretty good job of shortening the learning curve. The open-source nature of the software also makes it possible for developers to build their own apps and plug-ins. One does not have to possess coding skills to work with Drupal. It can be installed on a web server with one click thanks to its integration with the platforms of many popular web hosts. Graphics management with the software is a little more advanced than it is with similar CMS frameworks. Many users also state that organizing content with Drupal is much easier. The Drupal community remains very large, offering new users access to help and extensive documentation. The most pressing issue with Drupal is that it creates a strain on a web server. It has not matched the pace of other CMS platforms in terms of speed and efficiency. This is largely due to the vast functionality the program offers, and this lack of efficiency can become a double-edged sword.
