We develop and help manage websites based on the open source content management¹ system called Drupal¹. Content management refers to giving any designated personnel the ability to add, edit and update content on a website. There in no need to have IT experts to make changes in content.

Drupal is remarkably robust content management system used around the world. Here are some well known Drupal sites. The list could extend into the thousands:

The White House
TBtwo 
Linux Journal
Crosby Stills Nash
Moby.com
MTV UK
The Onion
Artistshouse Music
Amnesty International
Flock
Lime
US Department of Commerce

Webmasters like Drupal because it is very flexible, manageable and easily up-datable. Very rarely do they have to develop applications from scratch. It's a pretty safe bet that if they see a site do anything, Drupal can do it too.

It is certainly feature-rich. Out of the box it comes with blogs, user management, forums, comments, books, and articles. Users can create just about any other content type and display that suits their needs.

In addition, Drupal has access to modules which enable it to do marvelous things like catalogs, FAQs and shopping carts.

Site editors and content creators can add and delete content at will. Websites can always be fresh and up to date for visitors. There is no need to wait for and pay a "webmaster" to make changes in your website.

Drupal is economical. Installation of a Drupal package is usually way below a comparable site using proprietary technology. Companies enjoy continued savings in operating costs because the site can be updated by content providers rather than techie webmasters.

Whether your setting up a simple brochure site with a blog or a monster like the US Department of Commerce, Drupal will work for you.
