The development of technology provokes people to develop after them. Buying goods online and ordering the necessary services using the feedback form - has become commonplace these days, isn't it?
Most often, the user's attitude and trust in the site is based on several factors, namely: convenience, speed and uncompromising. Sounds great, but few CMSs are able to provide programmers with as many tools as they need to create a truly user-friendly site.
One of the most popular CMSs now is Drupal. Taking the lead in this niche is not easy, but to understand why it is so good for website development in 2021, you need to dig deeper and start with how Drupal came to be.
6 причин створення сайту на cms Drupal
The development of Drupal dates back to 2000, when web development was just beginning its long evolutionary path. Dris Beitart was the creator of Drupal by launching an amateur site for communication between students. The original idea of the site was to allow students to share data through a site created by Driss, but in the process of registering the site itself, an error was made. By registering a domain name for his internal site, Driss, instead of registering it as dorp.org, registered the domain name drop.org, which marked the beginning of the development of the popular and well-known Drupal system.
In 2001, Dries published the code for his site - and the internal site he created - grew from a simple hobby to a real project. Visitors to the site shared the latest developments in web development and talked about how they would like to change the source code.
Thus, the audience of the site grew, and with it grew the number of developments offered by dozens of programmers. In 2001, the development moved to the later registered site drupal.org. This site later became the official site for the fast-growing CMS, which allowed programmers to continue to participate in the development of Drupal.
Over the years, Drupal has grown into a solid development team. There are dozens of official developers, but the company does not betray itself and independent programmers, as before, are directly involved in development and improvement. Thanks to open source, programmers who want to make changes and correct any errors in the system - send their work to the site - where they are tested or if they are really needed - are embedded in the code. Thus, programmers who use Drupal have the opportunity to influence situations and change what makes them uncomfortable when writing code or working with the site.
Today, hundreds of people are involved in the development of Drupal, and because programmers can propose changes to the CMS - Drupal is one of the fastest updating systems available.
Decades of development have paid off, and thanks to the work of developers - Drupal is now a leader in website development. Thanks to the huge number of functions provided by the system - programmers can create without fear that the system will punish them for new ideas and fresh views. At the same time, if the specialist has few available tools - he can always use one of the available additional modules. Open kernel development allowed programmers to create add-ons and tools for Drupal, which eventually led to the creation of tens of thousands of modules, different orientations and different functionality, thus choosing Drupal as the kernel - a programmer can literally create, experiment and use hundreds tools - if needed. But what about the effectiveness of Drupal? Why has Drupal become so popular and for which types of Internet resources is it suitable as a kernel?

Our GL.ua team (Glianets) specializes in high-quality website development and support. For 25 years, we've been working on the same Drupal platform — no WordPress, Joomla, or builders. While others are scattered across multiple systems, we've honed our skills in one.
Flexible architecture, enterprise-grade security, and scalability are why Drupal is chosen by governments (such as Australia and France), European Commission institutions, and world-leading universities such as Harvard. And that is why we choose it - for every project, regardless of the level of complexity.
