6 Reasons Why Drupal Remains a Leading CMS in 2021

Do you know Drupal and Wordpress? Drupal often gets compared with WordPress. Both allow you to quickly customize and innovate upon a solid pre-existing framework, open-source code, and modules, with access to countless tools and information free of charge to help you get the right features, functionality, and design. But in 2021 Drupal is become a trend of developer and software development company. 

6 reason why drupal remains a leading cms in 2021

Reason 1: Drupal is a Proper Web Experience Management System

This is because the Drupal CMS has made a point of being a flexible platform that performs more like a web experience management system – giving you the ability to integrate your favorite customer relationship management (CRM) software, such as Salesforce, or inbound marketing platforms into your website.

This is why Drupal is a clear choice for organizations that want to seamlessly integrate your preferred third-party technology with your website.

Reason 2: How Drupal Leads in User Experience

There are several built-in and contributed modules that supercharge Drupal, making it the best choice among content management systems for these reasons:

  • WYSIWYG editor – a much-appreciated feature that allows users to sneak a peek at how the text and images they’ve entered into the text editor will look before pushing the “publish” button.
  • Multilingual functionality – these features are built right into Drupal 8 core and give you the power to translate your site or have the language displayed on your website shift depending on the user’s geographic location.
  • Quick Edit – type directly into a text editor in Drupal to cut down on the time required for adding and uploading content to your website.
  • Personalization – give your users the experience that’s right for them using one of several content personalization modules for Drupal, including Personalization Module, Browsing History Recommender, Commerce Recommender, and Context-Menu Block.
  • Enhanced caching capabilities – Drupal leads in terms of page loading efficiency and speed thanks to BigPipe and other caching optimization modules.
  • Options and flexibility - There is more than one way to create excellent user experiences in Drupal. Some situations require the utmost flexibility, like flexible landing pages for specific marketing campaigns, while others require more uniform control

Reason 3: Drupal Integrates Well With Popular Marketing Tools

Organizations are looking for dynamic content across many digital touch-points (omnichannel), therefore they need a web CMS that stays in step with new sales and customer engagement technologies.
The Google Analytics module allows you to collect all-important customer data and make adjustments to optimize how well your Drupal site speaks to and engages your target market.

Reason 4: Drupal Is Highly Extensible via APIs

  • Drupal’s API, querying, GraphQL, and microservices models make it easy to mold to almost any architecture with tools and features that improve the experience of both customers, admins, and developers.
  • The releases of Drupal 8 and 9 have heralded several such APIs:
  • The RESTful Web Services API in Drupal 8 supports a decoupled Drupal site; the communication between native mobile iOS/Android apps and a Drupal site; and, integration with web services.
  • JSON:API module allows serialization and communication via JSON.
  • Render API enhances the user experience through faster page rendering, and better caching protocols.
  • Drupal 8’s Translation API can adjust language on your website depending on where your viewer lives.

Reason 5: Drupal is Great for SEO: Leading Tools for Metadata and Taxonomy

Another key asset for modern, SEO-friendly websites is having a flexible and intuitive taxonomy system. Drupal’s built-in taxonomy system is designed to simplify how you organize your content, with the help of keywords.

Drupal’s Metatags module also allows you to shape how your content appears on social media sites with such APIs as Twitter Cards for Twitter and Facebook’s Open Graph protocol, giving you the ability to share consistent messages across platforms.

Reason 6: A Powerful Tool: Drupal Improves With Experience

As you can see in the image below that we snapped at DrupalCon Europe with the creator of Drupal, Dries Buytaert, research shows that, like a fine wine, a user's opinion of Drupal improves with experience. It is a very powerful tool, and with great power comes...a complexity-usability tradeoff, at least for beginne
