What is Drupal?

Drupal is a free, open-source content management system (CMS) used to build highly secure, scalable, and customizable websites. It is known for its robust architecture, making it ideal for complex, enterprise-level projects such as government portals, universities, media houses, and multinational businesses.

Unlike WordPress, which is user-friendly for beginners, Drupal is developer-focused and requires more technical skills.

It is built on PHP and supports custom content types, taxonomies, user roles, workflows, and multilingual content — out of the box.

  • Pantheon, Platform.sh, etc.

  • Easier deployment, built-in DevOps tools

  • Good for large teams and corporate setups

2. Hosted Drupal (PaaS/SaaS)

Requirements to Use Drupal

To use Drupal smoothly, you’ll need both technical setup and basic web content

You need a Linux-based hosting environment with:

  • PHP: 8.1 or 8.2

  • Web server: Apache, Nginx

2. Domain Name

  • Download from drupal.org/download

  • Install via cPanel (Softaculous) or command line

  • Setup site name, admin user, database, and basic config

3. Drupal Core Installation

  • Drupal uses “Themes” for visual layout

  • Use free or paid themes from ThemeForest or Drupal repositories

  • Most large companies build custom themes via frontend frameworks (e.g., Bootstrap, TailwindCSS)

Modules add functionality, similar to plugins in WordPress. Key ones include:

  • Pathauto – SEO-friendly URLs

  • Views – Build custom content displays

  • Webform – For forms

  • CKEditor – Rich text editing

  • Metatag – SEO metadata

  • Drupal Commerce – E-commerce features

  • Multilingual – Core module for multi-language sites

5. Modules (Plugins)

Drupal supports:

  • Custom content types (e.g., News, Events, Products)

  • Taxonomy (categories/tags)

  • Roles and permissions (admin, editor, author, etc.)

Prepare:

  • Company info (About, Team, Contact, etc.)

  • Media (logos, photos, videos)

Legal pages (Privacy Policy, Terms, etc.)

6. Content & Structure

  • Keep Drupal core and all modules up to date

  • Regularly back up your site

  • Use Views and Blocks to create custom layouts

  • Leverage content types and fields smartly for structured data

  • Always build on a staging environment first, then go live
