WordPress Vs Drupal

WordPress and Drupal are both CMS (Content Management System) software. A content management system is part of a web master’s everyday job. CMS makes the entire process of managing and operating a site through a central user-friendly interface easier.

Before in the early days, one would have to have an extensive knowledge of the ways of HTML, CSS, and PHP. These are all scripting language that allow you to create and manage a website.

Now with CMS, web masters are now able to create and manage amazing websites with little or even no web development experience at all. Take it from me, you can literally have no experience and have a site up and going in days.It just so happens that WordPress and Drupal are the two most popular out there.

I use wordpress. It just happens that it was the first and only one for me to try out. I am not the only one though, wordpress is the most popular and user friendly CMS out there.

Worpress was initially used for blogging, but has grown throughtout the years to be the best CMS. One of the main advantages of WordPress is the large number of plugins released by independent developers. Actually every aspect regarding the creation, organization and search engine optimization of a site can be now handled with the use of WordPress plugins.

New plug-ins are created everyday, and with the help of the wordpress community it’s easy to get your site up and going. So if wordpress is so great than why use Drupal?

Drupal is an original advanced content management system providing the user with full control over the development of a website. Drupal is also not as user friendly. If you are an experience web developer and want complete control over your site, Drupal is the way to go. Because of its superior capabilities, Drupal is able to create the best possible websites online.

I’m not going to lie, I am a little bias toward wordpress. However, as I develop as a web designer I would eventually like to try it out.  So in the end it really comes down to the experience you hold. If your just starting out, try wordpress. If you are the true professional, Drupal might be right for you.
