Why choose Drupal?

Drupal is a Content Management System (CMS) that uses modules to allow the site administrator to organize and display content, customize appearance and manage routine tasks. It is also known as a content management framework (CMF) as it is geared more towards configurability and customization. If the website being developed has to be search engine friendly and scalable, a content management system has to be used. In general what a CMS does is stores the content in a database, keeps design and content separately and making changes on all pages just requires to be updated in one place.

Below are few reasons why you should consider it.

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.
