1, A platform for rapid website assembly
Build internal and external-facing websites in a matter of hours, with minimal custom programming. No need to start from scratch every time you build a new site.
2, Enormously scalable
Some of the biggest, most visible, and highest-trafficked sites in the world run on Drupal, including examiner.com, whitehouse.gov, and 71 of the top 100 universities.
3, Freely extensible
Thousands of modules on drupal.org let you build amazing sites with little or no programming; its well-documented API lets you “scratch your own itch” through custom code.
4, Built for social publishing
Drupal is a multi-user CMS by default, allowing fine-grained access controls among users. And Drupal can reach out to share logins and content with Facebook, Twitter and others.
5, Open to your branding
Drupal’s presentation (“theme”) layer gives designers free rein to create highly usable, interactive experiences that engage users and increase traffic.
6, Flexible in deployment
Drupal offers several ways to deploy mutiple sites with unified codebases and databases. Many companies manage several Drupal sites, while some manage hundreds.
7, Beloved by a thriving development community
Nearly a thousand people contributed to the release of Drupal 7, with many thousands more working on add-on modules, security oversight, documentation, and much more.
8, Without software acquisition or licencing costs
As open-source software, the Drupal package has no license fees. Your money goes towards the things that make your site unique, not some software company.
9, Fanatical about following standards
Drupal plays well with others by taking advantage of existing standards. It connects with web services, delivers content well to mobile devices, and supports several authentication and authorization schemes.
10, Proven high in security
A dedicated security team, together with Drupal’s vast development and administrator community, seeks out and patches issues - often before they're exploited in the world.
