Top 5 Reasons to Choose Drupal CMS
By Jacy Ninaya
Drupal is one of the CMS platforms, which is preferred for its flexibility, scalability, and security. Many large businesses that require thousands of web pages often choose Drupal. Although Drupal can be used to develop websites of all sizes ranging from simple blogs to forums and enterprise level websites, it is important to determine the goals of websites before choosing Drupal. For instance, if you are a blogger, WordPress could be the better choice as it is very easy to handle the CMS. As a small online store or an eCommerce site should prefer Joomla as it has all of the facilities in it. On the other hand, if you are planning to extend your business to a bigger level, then you would need a sturdy platform such as Drupal. Here are some of the reasons why Drupal is the right choice for corporate websites.
Security
Security is always the first priority, when it comes to developing enterprise level websites. Drupal offers the best in class security that keeps hackers and cyber criminals away. Drupal also has a dedicated community that stands by the side of Drupal developers. Any issues would be immediately sorted out and solutions published instantly.
User Friendly Installations
Unlike the earlier versions of Drupal, it is getting better by the day. Now in Drupal seven it is very easy to find themes and modules required for your purposes and install them without any hassles. Just by pasting the modules link in the install module input box will ensure that the module is copied and installed automatically.
Periodical Updates
The Drupal community is constantly working on bug fixes and security in order to keep Drupal flawless. Whether it be security or it be performance, the community provides frequent updates in order to make it a better platform. As this article is being written, the Drupal community is working on Drupal 8 which seems to house all of the modern trends.
Free Modules and Distributions
Drupal has in store a number of contributed modules that can be quickly integrated in the website to bring the required functionality. There are also preconfigured settings, namely, Drupal distributions that can be used as such or with simple customization to host a brand new Drupal website for various businesses.
Custom Modules
Custom modules can be developed by expert Drupal developers to achieve a new functionality that may not be available in the list of contributed modules. Although Drupal’s steep learning curve prevents amateur developers from creating great websites, Drupal in the hands of skilled professionals can take your online business to new heights.
