What is Drupal?

Drupal is the world's most successful open source CMS for large enterprises. Drupal is free and license-free -- a website platform that provides flexibility, website ownership and lower costs for your business. Drupal has a large international community of over 24,000 developers across the globe working together on modules, themes and support. There are millions of websites on the Drupal platform. Websites like Information, Københavns biblioteker and ingeniøren are built in Drupal. Also The City of Copenhagen and Danish Radio use Drupal.

Search engine optimization

A high ranking in search engines is achieved by Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Drupal is basically good when it comes to search engine optimization and has semantically correct code, but can easily be expanded to include meta data such as Meta Description, which appears in search engine results. As an additional tool to attract visitors to the website, consider an online campaign to promote the website.

Some benefits Drupal can give you

  • Present your content in a user-friendly way on all platforms
  • Add virtually any functionality imaginable via the numerous modules that exist
  • Enable interaction with your users, which can add value to your content
    • Combine content such as video, text and images in any combination, the sky's the limit

Drupal is Open Source and free

In systems like Adobe and Sitecore, the source code is not freely available, licenses must be continuously renewed and new functionalities must be tailored by specialists, and you can quickly feel a bit tied down. In contrast, Drupal is free and open source. You're not locked into a handful of vendors, but can get assistance from the many companies and consultants working with Drupal. And there are only more to come after large institutions such as the Danish Broadcasting Corporation and the City of Copenhagen have also chosen to use Drupal instead of a proprietary system with an annual license.
