Although all modern CMS have their own set of pros and cons, but some platforms clearly outrank the others; like Drupal. Being one among the top rated and most preferred CMS in the web development community, it has certain distinctive features that give it an edge over the other competitive platforms like Wordpress or Joomla. But what exactly is it that makes Drupal so distinctive? After all, there has to be some reason behind so many high profile companies (The White House, Energy.gov, FedEx being some examples) choosing Drupal as the ideal CMS for their websites.

Well, I’ll give you five:

1. The first and foremost reason, Drupal is free! With all its functionality and advantages, you can install Drupal on your website for no cost at all. On the other hand, you might have to lighten your pockets if you choose to go for certain proprietary CMS. Their high monthly rentals and subscription fees can act as speed breakers for other development projects on your website. Truly said, best things in the world are free!

2. Drupal is search engine friendly, in that regard, much more than any other CMS. There is no doubt about the role played by search engine optimization processes in the overall success of any website. Drupal’s module structure and flexibility gives you full freedom to design your web pages in a way that attracts search crawlers.

3. High level of support from third part APIs is another advantage that comes with Drupal. API stands for Application Programming Interface, and these are the tools that help different software components to communicate with each other. Web developers can make effective use of these interfaces for customizing and enhancing the website. Drupal supports a number of such APIs, like Salesforce Drupal API, YouTube Drupal API, Google Apps API, Twitter Drupal API, Ubercart Drupal API and Google Analytics Drupal API.

4. Drupal features effective social media development. Being a complete package in itself, Drupal has separate tools for blogging, forum posts and profiles. This helps in the effective integration of social media tools on your website. Also, Drupal’s ability to handle large websites makes it easier to manage a large number of users.

5. Immense support from the online community is another big advantage of choosing Drupal. Being an open source platform, Drupal can be constantly upgraded by users all around the globe. What this means is that your website is built on a platform that holds a perpetual state-of-the-art status! Such constant upgrades also enhance the security of your website.

Clearly, choosing Drupal as your website’s CMS brings with it a whole lot of advantages that other platforms cannot offer. Go ahead and make this investment on success.
