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.
