Drupal is an open source content management platform used for websites, portals, and community-driven digital experiences.

Does Drupal have extensions?

Yes. Drupal has thousands of free and open source modules for extending core.

Who should choose Drupal?

Drupal fits teams that need complex content models, permissions, workflow, and hosting control rather than a simple visual website builder.

Drupal: Open Source Alternative to Adobe Experience Manager

Enterprise websites often need more than page publishing: structured content, permissions, localization, workflow, integrations, and custom business logic. Proprietary CMS platforms can solve that, but they bring high licensing cost and vendor dependence. Teams that need long-lived public infrastructure also need access to code, modules, security advisories, and migration paths they can control.
