Why should I choose Drupal?

Drupal is a CMS (Content Management System), therefore the most basic definition is it's used for managing your content on your website. So instead of using static html files and using something like Dreamweaver you can log into your website and update it from any computer with internet access. Drupal has been used in many different ways and goes beyond just a basic CMS, which makes it a little harder to define. Drupal has been used for the following types of sites:

• Digg like site
• Blog
• User site
• Portal site
• Twitter clone
• File Storage
• Wiki
• Youtube clone
• Amazon Clone
•  on and on

What does this mean?

So basically no matter how difficult or easy your project is you definitely can take advantage of a CMS system. Some clients think that they can save money on a static site which can be true in the short run, but in many cases can end up costing more in the long run. Most web sites have a need for some content changes which can cost money if you're paying a developer or company to do them for you. Also, if you ever see a need for adding features to your website (blog, shopping cart, commenting, twitter feeds, etc.) it can end up costing you much more on a static site whereas it can be a fairly simple task in Drupal.

Why Drupal?

Okay so if your still reading up to this point you may be asking yourself why should I choose Drupal? I mean there are tons of CMS's out there and finding the correct one can be a huge chore in itself. Well you can rest assured that we have been through the ringer with the whole CMS debate and have landed on Drupal with good reasoning.

There is a very large community behind drupal. This means tons of features waiting to be added to your website with little to no coding needed. This saves you lots of money and us lots of time.

Drupal is very expandable. This means that just because you don't want a shopping cart today doesn't mean you won't next year. If you go with another CMS which may work great for you in the short run, it doesn't mean it will be capable to do what you want tomorrow. A couple of CMS's that come to mind when I type this is wordpress and joomla. These are both great for what they do, but are much more limited. If you use Drupal you can rest assured that you won't be limited with what your website will be capable of in the future. Although if you don't believe your site will have any future needs of expansion and/or change we can advise you of better alternatives for your needs.
