Why you need to choose Drupal as your website development framework?

| | 3 min read

Drupal has been used and adapted by millions of websites across the world and not without reason. This top open source CMS is extremely flexible and robust and has found favour amongst the developer community due to the various qualities it possesses. Across the world, many renowned websites such as virgin.com, weather.com, theeconomist.com and london.gov.uk have applauded its versatility and flexibility, and used the Drupal development framework to their benefit.

With such well-known names vouching for Drupal as their preferred partner, let us look at the reasons why they chose Drupal development framework to support and build their website:

Open Source Software: The collaborative maintenance approach that involves thousands of programmers is a unique one and is completely different from that of a proprietary software. As opposed to a proprietary CMS, Drupal development is an ongoing process that has few gaps as the upgrades happen at a considerably faster rate. Additionally, only the enhancements that make a positive impact on the developers are added, which makes Drupal development services completely need-based.

Proven technology: Drupal, which was launched way back in 2001, has a large user community. Drupal 8, the most powerful version of Drupal till date, would be launched soon. This makes Drupal core an extremely mature product and hence it’s no surprise that it has been downloaded about 1.5 lakh times. With PHP as its web programming language, the Drupal framework is easy to get acquainted to and only a short learning session is required.

Built-in online community features: Today’s web users require multiple options such as blogging, forums, comments etc. Drupal has smartly introduced these as in-built features that merge seamlessly into its core. Due to these brilliant options, no major customization or third-party services need to be used.

Quick deployment: As Drupal development uses agile development methodology, the client could be kept constantly updated with the progress of the work, without having to wait for weeks or possibly months. As a client, you can administer changes and improvements considering the responses from actual users and also act within your existing development budget. You can also get the project live quickly and and that too only on a miniscule initial budget.

High on customization: Users of Drupal will certainly vouch for the fact that due to its high customization features, it becomes convenient to release a basic Drupal website pretty quickly, say in an hour or so. While this sounds fascinating, Drupal does not compromise on the design, layout or functionality of the website, which allows you as a developer to keep the features fully developed or lean as per your needs.
