Why we like Drupal?
Drupal CMS Website Design Lancashire
Drupal is an open source content management platform (CMS) which powers millions of websites and applications. There is no proprietary code, it’s fully extensible and flexible and you have access to an active developer community worldwide. There’s a huge market of Distributions, Themes and Modules available for Drupal which can help you quickly build and customise your web project.
Here are the top 10 benefits of Drupal CMS:
- 1. Rapid Web Development is at the heart of Drupal. Out of the box, you have clean mark-up code, page and blog publishing, content management, search, polls, forums, user login modules and more. Development time is reduced from weeks to days.
- 2. Thousands of free Modules (16,000+) are available in the community to help you quickly add specific features to your website. From CRM, Security, Social Media to SEO, Performance, Backup/Migrate and more.
- 3. A huge community of theme designers have created feature-rich templates to quickly help you realise your website’s vision. Aesthetics, fonts, responsive layouts, stock graphics, adjustable colour schemes and layout editors make working with 3rd party themes a breeze. You can always find one to suit your brand identity. Or simply build your own.
- 4. It’s free. As open source software, you’re not locked down with licenses, recurring fees or anything proprietary. Just install the CMS files on your server and you’re good to go.
