What is Drupal

Drupal is a massively powerful and flexible open source CMS platform designed for organizations that need total control without vendor restrictions. Its proposal is to be the “open source CMS” for technical teams that value extreme customization over ease.

Dominance in public institutions, media and large organizations reflects a reputation for robustness and control.
