A Content Management System is a system or software that allows for structured organization of content within a website. The very first content management system (CMS) was developed in the late 1990’s. Many of the first CMS's were really no more than simple frameworks upon which other content management systems, like those that exist now, would be built. Today, CMSs can be used for organizing and publishing a wide variety of website content. Content management systems may also serve as a website’s central repository; storing documents, video, images, and customer data. Content management systems can be used to publish such content manually, or can be automated to push selected contents to a website on a specified schedule. One of the leading content management systems available today is Drupal, an open source CMS. Drupal is, by nature, infinitely scalable, customizable, and flexible. Drupal development providers routinely construct website of varying functionality, scale and appearance using Drupal.

Drupal gives its users a large degree of flexibility to modify, share, and distribute content (text, video, data and images). Drupal is distributed under the terms of the General Public License, which means that Drupal web developers are free to download it and share it with others. It is also used for document management and business collaboration. This open source platform can offer a Drupal Developer the basic building blocks of websites in a module-styled format where content and rules can be created quickly. Through the use of templates and themes there is no need to start from scratch—no matter if you are building a simple or complex site. Pre-defined configurations of site features help users build fairly complex sites rapidly, allowing them to use their time to build in extra features. There are a growing number of tools available that aid in developing, managing, and maintaining Drupal websites. As Drupal is web-based, it is compatible with all operating systems. Drupal developer can add enhancements like blogs, forums, e-commerce shopping carts and calendars.  There are also multitudes of third party modules to choose from to extend Drupal CMS. Drupal can be configured to use search engine friendly URLs, ensuring your site is SEO ready.

Drupal is the most powerful content management system available and allows for easy organization, management, and publishing of site content. Drupal's seemingly endless customization options and modules allow Drupal sites to be truely unique in appearance and functionality. Drupal runs millions of web sites, including many of the world's biggest. Drupal is an especially strong tool for government and enterprise, but is easy enough to use to be the platform of choice for individuals and small companies.
