Drupal is one of the most powerful Open Source solutions for Content Management Systems because it is robust, easy to use, and constantly growing and adapting to the needs of the large, worldwide community of Drupal users.
Drupal is software that allows an individual or a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a great variety of content on a website. Hundreds of thousands of people and organizations have Drupal-powered websites, including newspapers and magazines, community web portals and discussion sites, corporate web sites/intranet portals, video and podcasting sites, personal web sites, aficionado sites, e-commerce applications and resource directories.
Drupal includes features to enable content management systems, blogs, collaborative authoring environments, discussion forums, email newsletters, picture galleries, file uploads and downloads, and much more.
Drupal code is free, as are updates. Modules (special features) are being constantly contributed by the community. The developers at pingVision have found Drupal to be a relatively easy, flexible, and inexpensive solution for their clients.
Drupal-powered websites offer: ease of updating website content, strong search engine optimization, flexible theming and presentation, powerful “Web 2.0-type” interactive tools, and modularity that makes adding new features relatively easy.
One great benefit of Drupal is that it’s being actively developed by a large and growing development community. The software continues to evolve and improve as one of the leading-edge website systems.
