Drupal is a content management framework, offering out of the box content management. Drupal’s power lies in its ability to extend as a platform with the addition of modules contributed by the community, transforming into an infinite range of custom solutions to deliver an endless number of digital experiences.
The Benefits of Drupal
- Everything is fieldable Drupal has many strengths, including a solid architecture for easy creation of data structure. Content, categories, menus etc are all easily “fieldable” in a fast and straight forward way.
- Multi-lingual - Drupal has built in multilingual support, which is straight forward to enable at the start of a new project, or to an existing one.
- Security - The Drupal community takes security extremely seriously with strong coding standards and a robust approach to code review. A dedicated security team supported by one of the largest global developer communities ensures that vulnerabilities are found, and fixes are released promptly. Provided that security patches are applied, a Drupal site presents a secure platform addressing the top 10 OWASP security risks and is consequently used by many mission critical sites globally
- Scalability - Drupal scales from microsites with one editor and just a few hundred visitors per month, up to enterprise installations with editorial teams, content workflow and advanced permission structures serving content to millions of users. Drupal systems can grow with your business, without limitation.
Whatever your business and customer needs, our Drupal developers have the expertise to make your website come to life. From address-finding services, a website in multiple languages or a website heavily lead by third-party services.

Drupal FAQ's
Drupal is an open source content management system (CMS). Drupal CMS allows end users like you to easily update content on your website. It is used to create and manage every type of website from large scale organisations to small business websites.
Drupal is an open source platform. It is free to use and does not have a paid for licence like other software, for example Microsoft. This means
100% of your budget is used to create a great website.
Simply there isn’t one. Paid for solutions will try and tell you open source is not supported or poses a security risk or does not provide regular
updates, this is all incorrect. Drupal is a well supported CMS platform that is regularly updated. It is used by many organisations from The White
House, Twitter to Teach.gov looking to gain a competitive advantage.
Apart from the obvious benefit of no licence fees – the power of Drupal CMS is in the way it provides end users such a huge degree of flexibility to modify, share, and distribute content (text, video, data, business services). It provides an intuitive and simple web based editing solution to
allow even the most technophobic user to easily create, post and change complex site content. Drupal is also a flexible and scalable solution,
making it perfect for any size of business website or project.
You can use as much or as little as you like, when you like, allowing your website to grow with your business needs and requirements. It has an active developer network – ensuring new modules and functions are being continually developed. And in the unlikely event Drupal cannot provide exactly what you need we can always provide our own bespoke Drupal solution for you. So whatever your need or requirement Drupal
will always be able to provide a solution.
Drupal is not a one size fits all solution – it is not just for constructing particular types of sites. It is a web publishing platform flexible to handle
multiple requirements and provide multiple solutions. It allows you to take control of your site and publish content in the right format, in the right place and at the right time. It places search engine optimisation at the heart of your website – to maximise your site’s potential and visibility.
