Alternative to WordPress
Drupal is a powerful open-source content management system (CMS) that's been around since 2001.
Drupal is a free and open-source web content management system (CMS) written in PHP and distributed under the GNU General Public License. It provides an open-source back-end framework for at least 14% of the top 10,000 websites worldwide and 1.2% of the top 10 million websites. Drupal can be used for various purposes, including personal blogs, corporate websites, political sites, and knowledge management platforms. As of 2022, the Drupal community had more than 1.39 million members, including 124,000 active contributors, resulting in over 50,000 free modules and more than 3,000 free themes that extend and customize Drupal functionality. Drupal's core installation offers basic features common to content-management systems, such as user account registration, menu management, RSS feeds, taxonomy, page layout customization, and system administration. It also serves as a web application framework, meeting most feature requirements for such frameworks. Drupal runs on any computing platform that supports both a web server capable of running PHP and a database to store content and configuration.
