What is Drupal?
Drupal is an open-source CMS for structured websites and applications. Content types, fields, editorial workflows and a modular architecture support projects that need more than a collection of static pages. The core software is available without a licence fee; the organisation still needs hosting, a supported implementation and an upgrade process. A Drupal evaluation should model real content relationships and editorial permissions, then check how the selected modules and custom code will be maintained.
