Benefits of Drupal
How does Drupal improve your digital service’s user experience and boost your business
Mobile-friendly
From the ground up, Drupal’s user interface has been designed and built to be responsive. This means your website, including its maintenance interface, will work seamlessly on any device – anywhere, anytime.
Multilingual
Multilinguality is built into Drupal, having over 100 different languages to choose from. Create multilingual websites and easily translate all their content.
Accessible
Drupal 8 & 9 enable the building of websites that meet the Web Content Accessibility Criteria and supports administrators in building accessible content. Drupal Core has designed to support the development of sites that comply with WCAG 2.0 and ATAG 2.0.
Fast
Drupal makes your website blazingly fast. The speed is enabled by features such as built-in caching modules and BigPipe, which allows the users to see unchanged elements immediately, without load times.
Easy Content Management
Managing content with Drupal is exceptionally handy.
How? For example, reusing existing content into different mediums, modifying image sizes, embedding and reusing different types of media, block management, and operating in responsive system administrator interfaces are all just a piece of cake.
Role-based access control
With Drupal, the user roles and workflows will be customized to suit your organization. Drupal can also be integrated with identity providers, such as AD.
Brilliant for headless CMS decoupled solutions
It is easy to connect Drupal into JavaScript frames like React, Vue, or Angular, when the user interface is expected to have app-like features, or when Drupal is seated into a microservice architecture. This decoupled solution works well for large, customized services and makes the building of sustainable solutions possible.
Integrations
Drupal can be integrated into any system. The modular system architecture and the built-in API interface enable Drupal to be integrated into e.g. identification services, search engines, online payment systems, enterprise resource planning systems (ERP), customer relationship management systems, and iOS and Android applications.
