Business websites (CMS)

Companies in various sectors use content management systems (CMS) such as Drupal or Wordpress to improve their online communication and to manage content themselves. There are many content management systems on the market that are suitable for a project. As a rule, one sticks to the systems that are well-known and secure.

The decision on whether to use Drupal or Wordpress as content management system is made after a detailed analysis of the current and potential future requirements.

Compared to WordPress, Drupal's functionality is much more comprehensive. With Drupal, large web projects can be realised, which go much further than pure content management. WordPress, on the other hand, has less functionality and is therefore suited for simpler web solutions.

What is Drupal and what are the advantages?

With Drupal, as with other content management systems (CMS), content can be placed on the internet and edited. Drupal’s modular structure means that there is a wide range of possible uses. The list ranges from “one-person websites” such as personal weblogs to online communities with thousands of members and well-known websites such as the Landesportal NRW, IHK, Umweltbundesamt and many more can be viewed at https://www.drupal.de/referenzen.

What is WordPress and what are the benefits?

WordPress is the most widely used system for running websites, accounting for about 40% of all CMSs. In WordPress, each post can be assigned to freely definable categories, and navigation elements are automatically generated to fit. Furthermore, the system offers reader comments with the possibility to check them first before publishing, a management of user roles and rights and the possibility of external plug-ins, with which WordPress can be extended towards a full-fledged CMS. WordPress does not offer native support for multilingual websites.
