Drupal's open source community is made of developers, designers, trainers, strategists, editors, and more.
Designed for businesses of all sizes looking to build and grow the online presence.
I learned a lot of what not to do, and a little bit about server set up and code writing. Ultimately, I am happy having a good CMS like this that I can use as an option with our clients.
It always has to be a developer. This is a bit frustrating when something goes wrong with the setup.
The community is vibrant and the security one of the best. With the latest version performance and other features are greatly improve.
In addition, the APIs underneath the hood of Drupal often make it quite a long process developing with Drupal. There are a lot of quirks to learn about before you can really get stuck in.
The flexibility this provides to continue growing a web site makes it priceless. The community around the project is amazing and has provided excellent modules to get a site up and running easily.
The product is difficult to use with limited coding knowledge.
Mostly modern CMS have amazing features with good bootstrapping themes that can easily be fit in. Need a one off editor like a visual studio to allow simple edits.
Naming conventions concerning views, nodes, taxonomy, menu items, panels, modules and tokens can be confusing and particularly overwhelming to a beginner.
It was my first experience building a website and everything worked like a charm and left me really happy with the final result.
Ve had several malfunctions with it in the past. M scared to edit and delete old information on there just because it screwed up the booking button and clients couldn’t schedule.
M extremely happy with what is offered, the ability to pick it right up with an easy to use interface, and the customer service is also high quality as wel.
There needs to be more -- and better - quality -- add-ons available. Those with terrible reviews make Wix look bad; more should be done to weed out the awful options.
Accessible to anyone who has a little interest and commitment. Enables the creation of very professional websites, with an excellent image bank and templates.
It was often crashing on customers who would try to buy online. This resulted on many loss sales or issuing discounts to clients for their “inconvenience.
I most like the program's ease of use, cost-effectiveness and the varied and sophisticated designs that are available to those who work with it it.
Absolutely awful customer service and support when things go wrong (which they do, daily).
Rachel M.: Hi, my name is Rachel. I'm a Corporate Marketing Director and I would give Drupal a four out of five star rating. For more reviews like this click below. Prior to getting Drupal, we had WordPress and one of the reasons that we got away from WordPress was that we needed to be able to allow access control to different employees. We chose Drupal primarily because our brand consultants recommended it for our new website. But one of the things we really wanted to make sure is that the new website was able to be locked dow, so that images couldn't be stolen, if you will, from our website. Also, we wanted to make sure that we were able to give different access to different employees based on their roles and needs for the program. Making the transition to Drupal was fairly easy. We had good training over the course of a full day with our branding consultant and that really gave us all the information that we needed to adequately maintain and add content in the back end. If you're looking to move over to Drupal from a different CMS, I do recommend a couple things. One of the negatives about Drupal is it does not allow you to upload multiple images at the same time. You aren't able to batch upload. So, you will take some time having go one by one. So, if you have a lot of images to upload, you're going to want to carve out a lot of time or hire a third party. You'll also want to make sure that you stick with a developer or consultant who will always ensure that you have the most up to date updates for Drupal to make sure that your back end is working to the best it can be. And also, the other thing I would highly recommend is that you do group training at the very beginning and create kind of a cheat sheet on what you're going to be doing the most. For example, we used a kind of a Cliffs Notes version of how upload projects and people and other content and that's been incredibly helpful throughout the years for new employees that come in and they can hit the ground running.
