What's Drupal?

Drupal is an advanced Content Management System (CMS), one of the most popular in the world, powering over 1,000,000 websites worldwide. From personal blogs to corporate and government websites, from informational sites to e-commerce platforms.

Drupal is built on an open-source code and written in the PHP language. It has a thriving community of over a million developers worldwide who share information and resources, contributing to the platform's development.

The Drupal infrastructure is designed in layers, allowing easy scalability and additional developments. It enables effortless editing and integration of components within the system without making changes to the core code.

Drupal is renowned for its stability and is considered one of the most secure Open Source systems worldwide. It is trusted by the United States government for its official websites.

Why is Drupal the right choise?

Security and Reliability

Drupal is widely regarded as one of the most secure content management systems (CMS) available. Its robust security features and practices have earned it a strong reputation in the web development community.

Here are some reasons why Drupal is considered highly secure:

Tailored Roles and Permissions

User management and role assignments in Drupal are convenient and precise. Administrators can customize roles and grant specific permissions to each user. Easy and efficient.

Input Validation System

Drupal's input validation system ensures that the data entered by users is secure and free from malicious code, helping to prevent security breaches.

Regular Security Updates

The Drupal community releases regular security updates to address known vulnerabilities, fix bugs, and maintain an up-to-date CMS with the latest security practices.

Secure File Uploads in Drupal

Drupal enables secure file uploads (whitelisting), protecting against malicious and scanned file types to detect viruses.

Drupal's Active Security Team

The Drupal Community has a Large and Active Security Team that Works on Identifying and Addressing Security Vulnerabilities.

Built-in Security Features

Drupal has built-in security features such as SQL injection and protection against XSS filtering, along with Form API that provides multi-layered protection against common internet attacks.

Various Security Modules

Drupal can be integrated with various security modules, such as two-factor authentication, content security policy, security kit, and more, to enhance the overall security of the website.

Sensitive Data Securing

Drupal allows the encryption of sensitive data, such as user passwords and credit card details, to protect them from unauthorized access or exposure.

Scalability, Growth Potential, and Flexibility

Scalability means the ability to easily increase resources or user capacity without compromising service quality or drastically changing the infrastructure or core system. As companies grow, expand their customer base, revenues, and operations, scalability ensures that their systems and infrastructure can cope with increased demand without compromising performance or availability.

In Drupal, additional developments can be easily implemented as the infrastructure is built in separate layers. Each layer can have its functional development, backup, acceleration, and caching methods without depending on other modules. This allows for immediate future growth according to customer needs.

These are the reasons why Drupal is considered more scalable and flexible than other content management systems:

Modular Architecture

Drupal's modular architecture facilitates easy customization and integration of new features, ensuring independent growth and adaptation to evolving organizational needs, without affecting other components.

Content Distribution

Drupal allows content distribution across multiple servers, helping to distribute the load and improve system performance.

Performance Optimization

Drupal includes built-in caching mechanisms and supports reverse proxy, helping to improve system performance even as the amount of content and traffic increases.

Community

The open-source nature of Drupal and its large developer community make it easier to find support, solutions, and add-ons that can help enhance website capabilities.

Efficient Content Storage

Drupal allows storage of old or rarely used content, reducing the amount of data to store and process, improving overall system performance.

Cloud Hosting

Drupal is a perfect fit for cloud hosting. Its scalability, flexibility, and resource efficiency make it an ideal choice. Combined with cloud hosting's high availability and automatic updates, Drupal ensures reliable and cost-effective website management in the cloud.

Multi-Site Management

Drupal allows the management of multiple websites from a single installation, enabling efficient control of numerous sites or microsites from one location. This makes it particularly suitable for organizations with multiple digital assets.

API capabilities

Drupal's API capabilities enable seamless integration with third-party applications, streamlines workflows, and enhance user experiences. Its adaptability and security ensure future-proof web solutions for organizations to stay ahead in the digital realm.

Is Drupal the Right Choise for my Organization?

Deciding whether Drupal is the right choice for your organization depends on several crucial factors. If your organization needs a highly customizable and feature-rich website with complex functionalities, Drupal's flexibility and modular architecture make it a suitable option. Moreover, Drupal's scalability can handle website growth and increased traffic effectively, making it ideal for organizations with ambitious expansion plans. Security is a top priority for many organizations, and Drupal's strong track record in this area adds to its appeal. If you require a user-friendly content management system for easy content updates, Drupal's intuitive admin interface fits the bill. Additionally, if your organization targets a global audience and needs multilingual support, Drupal provides robust capabilities. Consider your organization's budget, available resources, and previous experience with Drupal or similar platforms when making the final decision. Consulting with web development professionals can help assess whether Drupal aligns well with your organization's specific needs and future goals. For personalized guidance and expert advice on whether Drupal is the right fit for your organization, consulting with Comrax, the leading Drupal agency, can help assess your specific needs and future goals, ensuring you make an informed and well-tailored choice.

Well-known websites that use Drupal

Over 300 government websites across the USA, more than 50 in Canada, and thousands of government websites worldwide have been built using Drupal.

Prominent organizations such as UNESCO, international news channel NBC, Fox News, prestigious universities like Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford, developer community site Twitter, the official site of electric car company Tesla, and the NBA basketball league's official website, among others, all use Drupal.

These high-profile websites, exposed to daily security threats, were built with Drupal, benefiting from its reliability, stability, and robust security features.

Drupal Fun Facts

Dries Buytaert created Drupal in 2001, making it one of the first open-source CMS systems ever created.
The word "Drupal" comes from "druppel" which means "drop" in Dutch. It was chosen after Dries tried to register the domain "dorp.org" (meaning "village" in Dutch) but mistyped it as "drop.org," and the mistake stuck.
The Drupal logo is a stylized drop. The Drupal community also widely uses the "Dropicon," a drop-shaped cartoon character adopted by local communities around the world in the spirit of open-source.
As of February 2022, 1.3 million people use Drupal, including developers, designers, content creators, and more.
And in which language is Drupal written? It is written in PHP, the programming language that powers almost 80% of all websites. The latest version of Drupal uses modern coding techniques and leverages the Symfony framework.
Over 120,000 users contribute to the Drupal community, resulting in over 46,800 free modules available.
There are over one million websites powered by Drupal worldwide.
