Why Drupal? — 8 Advantages for Decision Making

1. Drupal is Open Source – no licensing fees and no binding contracts for updates

With proprietary systems, everything from the license to the provision of updates to the number of CMS users generates additional costs and burdens your budget.

In contrast, Drupal stands as open source software that is completely free of licensing fees. This allows financial resources to fully flow into your individual project ideas.

2. Quick Solutions with a Module Kit

The vast Drupal community has already developed freely available modules for many use cases. Like a building block kit, you can rely on existing Drupal modules to create your project base and then expand it with individual modules.

Currently, over 52,000 modules are available on drupal.org. With such a vast number, we are happy to assist with our expertise in selecting the right ones.

3. Maximum Flexibility

Drupal is as versatile as hardly any other CMS. Drupal can act as a framework for an intranet or a closed user group, or, with the help of multisite support, reflect the entire corporate communication.

Furthermore, Drupal applications scale extremely well as they are compatible with the most modern caching technologies. Headless Drupal or Decoupled Drupal offer remarkable advantages in terms of performance and flexibility in the enterprise environment: for instance, one backend for many frontends.

4. International Community

The Drupal community is a global network of enthusiastic developers. The strong international acceptance ensures that numerous developers and administrators worldwide are familiar with Drupal.

The community is among the most active and largest open-source CMS communities. Drupal modules are available for download on drupal.org and can be used for free.

5. Security, no ifs or buts

No system is free from errors. The difference lies in how they are handled or avoided. New modules are always reviewed by the community and undergo several quality checks.

Systems like WordPress are used by many sources. This wide distribution and the extensive plugin ecosystem make this system more vulnerable to attacks. Drupal, on the other hand, has strict security standards and is less widespread, making it a secure option.

6. Content is King

No other CMS is as clear and easy to use as Drupal. Content management without programming knowledge is as self-evident as the so-called in-place editing for making changes directly from the frontend.

But even here, Drupal doesn't stand still. It is constantly being further developed by the community. Twice a year, new Drupal minor releases (Drupal 11.1, 11.2, etc.) are provided for free by the community. Currently, many optimizations and new tools for page creation are on the roadmap.

7. Drupal is SEO-friendly and mobile-ready

Both aspects play a central role in any marketing strategy. Content can be displayed with enormous flexibility and optimized for different devices.

At the same time, numerous SEO modules advance the global visibility of the application. As a specialized Drupal agency, we naturally select the best current Drupal SEO modules for you in every project.

8. Global Approach through Multilingual and Multidomain

Web projects can grow on many levels. One is the number of languages in which content is published. At the same time, it may be necessary to make the backend available in different languages.

Drupal 11 has raised the bar in terms of language support even further. The administrative backend is available in over 100 languages. At the same time, multiple domains can be centrally managed with Drupal.

Conclusion

Drupal is a flexible, secure, and future-proof platform that impresses with strong community features, extensive scalability, and a global orientation – ideal for companies of any size looking for customized and sustainable web solutions
