Drupal: The Short Version...
Drupal is a piece of open source software and once installed, is very easy to add content to. Drupal also allows people to submit modules to the drupal.org website where anyone can download and customize even further for their own need. Drupal, like most open source software, is always being updated and improved. It's also trusted by high profile sites such as: The Emmys, Michael Jackson, Nokia, Symantec, Led Zeppelin, Universal Music, AOL Corporate, FedEx, MTV UK, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, and Pearl Jam just to name a small few..
Drupal: The Long Version...
Drupal is an open source content management system (CMS) which has been around almost as long as google. One reason Drupal is so popular is how SEO friendly and versatile it is. As a developer, if you're good enough at coding, you can make Drupal do anything you can imaging. That’s one of the major reasons Drupal has such a huge following from the tech crowd.
Drupal has thousands and thousands of modules written and contributed by the vast drupal community at drupal.org. Most of these modules don’t have many installs, but there are a few which make a web admins live pure bliss. Two of those modules are views for drupal, and cck for drupal. Views allows you to pull just the right bits of information from drupals database and display them in a seemingly unlimited array of ways. CCK allows you to customize the creation of content for drupal. So if you are in real estate and want to add an address field to a property, CCK will allow you to do that.
Drupal and SEO go hand in hand. Out of the box drupal is ready to be configured for decent SEO but with a little know how, anyone can get the SEO dialed in for their site. Search engine optimization is a crucial element for a web design in this day and age.
Over all drupal is fast, secure, very customizable, and easy for the end user to use. This is why we choose this CMS over every other CMS out there. If you have more specific questions please ask here or simply contact us.
