Craft CMS vs Drupal: What are the differences?

What is Craft CMS? *A flexible, user-friendly Content Management System (CMS) *. It is a flexible, user-friendly CMS for creating custom digital experiences on the web and beyond. It is a WordPress alternative for development-oriented publishers who want deeper control and more powerful performance from their content management tools. It is built to be exceptionably scalable, and offers native features for complex content management relationships.

What is Drupal? Free, Open, Modular CMS written in PHP. Drupal is an open source content management platform powering millions of websites and applications. It’s built, used, and supported by an active and diverse community of people around the world.

Craft CMS and Drupal can be categorized as "Self-Hosted Blogging / CMS" tools.

Some of the features offered by Craft CMS are:

  • Robust support and SLAs
  • Fully custom content modeling
  • Powerful templating

On the other hand, Drupal provides the following key features:

  • Categorize with taxonomy, automatically create friendly path urls, create custom lists, associate content with other content on your site, and create smart defaults for content creators
  • Manage content with an easy-to-use web interface. Drupal's flexibility handles countless content types including video, text, blog, podcasts, and polls with robust user management, menu handling, real-time statistics and optional revision control.
  • Users can be assigned one or more roles, and each role can be set up with fine-grained permissions allowing users view and create only what the administrator permits.
Decisions about Craft CMS and Drupal

10 Years ago I have started to check more about the online sphere and I have decided to make a website. There were a few CMS available at that time like WordPress or Joomla that you can use to have your website. At that point, I have decided to use WordPress as it was the easiest and I am glad I have made a good decision. Now WordPress is the most used CMS. Later I have created also a site about WordPress: https://www.wpdoze.com
