Drupal and open-source Content Management Systems

Open-source technologies have many advantages of proprietary ones, including being more cost efficient and more accessible for both the end-user and other programmers. The CMS we favour is Drupal since we have found it to be the best combination of power and simplicity.

From the drupal website, drupal.org:

"Drupal is software that allows an individual or a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a great variety of content on a website. Tens of thousands of people and organizations have used Drupal to set up scores of different kinds of web sites, including

• community web portals and discussion sites
• corporate web sites/intranet portals
• personal web sites
• aficionado sites
• e-commerce applications
• resource directories

Drupal includes features to enable:

• content management systems
• blogs
• collaborative authoring environments
• forums
• newsletters
• picture galleries
• file uploads and download
• and much more.

Drupal is open source software licensed under the GPL, and is maintained and developed by a community of thousands of users and developers. Drupal is free to download and use. If you like what Drupal can do for you, please work with us to expand and refine Drupal to suit your needs."
