Many are asking the question:

Which is the best CMS (Content management system)? The answer is not simple, as for every webmaster or every agency communication; the use is different depending on the websites worked. That is why we will observe that Drupal is the best CMS (Content Management System). At the agency, we employ Drupal to the joy of our patrons. Here I will sum up the positive points of the CMS.

Advantages of Drupal CMS

Drupal Web Design Flexibility:

You can design (or “theming / theme” in Drupal speak) your Drupal website to suit your business needs without many of the restrictions of previous CMS tools.

Drupal Is Open Source:

Open Source means that the code used to run Drupal can be copied, modified, and shared with others. Drupal is entirely free and doesn’t have any hidden fees.

Drupal Has High Profile Clients:

Some of Drupal’s highest profile customers include: The White House, The Onion, Wake Forest University, Energy.gov and FedEx    

Drupal Has Extensive API Support:

Drupal has extensive API support including:

  • Salesforce Drupal API

  • Youtube Drupal API

  • Google Apps Drupal API

  • Sugar CRM for Drupal API

  • Constant Contact Drupal API

  • Facebook Drupal API

  • Twitter Drupal API

  • Ubercart Drupal API

  • Google Analytics Drupal API

  • Adsense Drupa API

  • Mailchimp Drupal API

There are thousands of modules available on Drupal.org and Drupal’s very well-documented API allows you create your own custom modules.

Drupal is Search Engine Friendly:

Drupal, created as a community platform, was inherently designed to be SEO friendly. Drupal has huge flexibility to display content in a way search engines just can’t defy.

Some Drupal SEO Modules include:

  • Page Title

  • Nodewords

  • Related Content

  • Pathauto

  • Sitemap & XML Sitemap

  • Redirects

Drupal Is Mobile Ready:

Chances are your patrons are using smart phones like the iPhones or Androids to view your site. They also may be relaxing at home or on the company couch with an iPad. If your site is built with Drupal, then you’re in luck as Drupal web design can come out just as good on your iPad as it does at your desk.

Drupal Development Is Fast:

Deploying an external-facing Drupal website can only take few hours. And you don’t need to begin from scratch every time you want to deploy a new site. Drupal set up its core right out the box and then establishes an easy-to-use platform to make visual, content, and module updates and third party integrations. 

In summary, the use of Drupal can be tedious if you do not control the programming. However, if you want to create a website and use a web agency that knows it, the outcome will be much more successful. In other words: Drupal is a tool for experts.
