Unlike some other CMSs (such as TYPO3), Drupal is suited to novices and experienced users alike. One reason for this is the strikingly small range of functions, which can be adapted bit by bit to suit the user’s needs. As one of the most popular CMSs, Drupal can be considered in the same league as WordPress, and you can find a comparison of the two programs here.
The easily manageable Drupal software kernel can be used to create all kinds of web presences, from sites and blogs to forums. However, one of the program’s greatest strengths is its remarkable range of extensions. There are countless modules to adjust various sections of the website (i.e. content, e-commerce, security, media), which also enable users to create more complex websites and applications.
With so many diverse options for expansion, it’s possible to use both modules and themes, most of which can be adjusted significantly in order to suit your needs. A Drupal theme consists of an HTML template and various functions (often based on CSS, PHP, or JavaScript). You thus have a wide selection of very different design templates at your disposal, all of which are suited to different kinds of projects. So no matter what kind of project you’re working on, you can find a free Drupal theme that’s perfect for you.
