An open source content management system powering millions of websites

Drupal is now recognised as one of the top open source content management solutions in the market, being used by organisations like MTV UK, Sony Music, New York Observer, to name but a few.

Our clients are really pleased with having made the decision to use Drupal for their website, as they are seeing how they can leverage this investment for other key web initiatives, due to all the additional features and add-ons available. These features and add-ons allow it to be used for a variety of website needs; for marketing, internal communications, informational websites, or for social networking purposes. From the same Drupal installation, new microsites can be generated, taking advantage of the web pages templates and features that have been built for the main website.

Drupal allows you to easily create, update and manage a website without requiring a lot of technical know-how. Drupal uses a point-and-click interface to let you add pages, menus, images and file uploads and it enforces security, so you can apply permissions to different kinds of users. As your website grows, it's easy to add custom features from the thousands of free modules you can download. Drupal's access control system means that it can be easily applied to your organisational structure.

Drupal is highly regarded as one of the best website frameworks available and is rapidly gaining adoption all over the globe.

More on Drupal

Some of these features include, but are not limited to:

• Many tools to help you organise, structure, find and re-use your content. Categorise with taxonomy, automatically create friendly path urls and much more.
• Comes with great options for new user accounts and user permissions. Users can be assigned one or more roles, and each role can be set up with fine-grained permissions allowing users view and create only what the administrator permits. The Drupal 7 admin theme makes administering a site easier than ever.
• Build internal and external-facing websites in a matter of hours, with no custom programming. No need to start from scratch every time you build a new site, either. You can utilize a multi-site configuration or choose a Drupal distribution (installation profile). These provide a pre-defined configuration of site features and functions for a specific purpose or type of site, available as a single download.
• Manage content with an easy-to-use web interface. Drupal's flexibility handles countless content types including video, text, blog, podcasts, and polls with robust user management, menu handling, real-time statistics and optional revision control.
• Drupal's focus on social publishing can help you create sites and applications to help your users express their opinions and engage with one another. You can have tight control over who can create, view, administer, publish and otherwise interact with content on your site.
• Drupal's presentation layer allows designers to create highly usable, interactive experiences that engage users and increase traffic. Use an existing Drupal theme for your site, giving it an instant identity! If you can't find one you like, try designing your own which others can use, too.
