User Management: – Drupal has strong user role and access control functionality. Custom user roles and custom access levels can be created as and when needed.

Advanced URL Control: – Drupal gives the user complete control over URL structure. Each item of content in Drupal can be given a custom URL also known as aliases. Users can automate custom URL structures for each different content type with the ‘Pathauto’ Module.

Custom Content Types and Views: – The Content Construction Kit (CCK) and view modules can be used to create new content types and create advanced custom views. Content types could contain news stories, tutorials, blog posts and so on.

PHP Template: – By default Drupal uses the PHP template theme engine. Theming in Drupal is easy as the user does not require any PHP knowledge.
