| Product Focus - Drupal Content Management System |
|
Not a techie? Drupal (pronounced 'drew-pal') is a full-featured CMS suite that allows an individual - or community of users - to easily organize, publish and manage a great variety of content on a Web site. It is open source software (therefore not requiring licensing fee) that publishes to a variety of standard Web formats (e.g. HTML).
Tens of thousands use Drupal daily for diverse Web site types that include:
- community Web portals and discussion sites.
- corporate Web sites/intranet portals.
- ecommerce applications.
- resource directories.
