Drupal isn't just a content management system. It's a content management framework.

There used to be a saying:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to build a website, use <enter CMS name here>. If you want to build <CMS name>, use Drupal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I think I've heard it used with all the other content management systems, and it isn't about saying one is better.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It highlights that Drupal isn't just a content management system - it's a content management framework.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A framework you use to build your content management system to meet your needs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Straight away after installing Drupal, you can create as many content types as you want with as many fields as you want to build as simple or complex a content model as you need.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You aren't restricted to the default page and article content types or a fixed set of fields.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That, along with Views - a built-in query builder to build pages and blocks of your content, user login and registration, and JSON:API to allow other applications, such as mobile apps, to access your data, to name a few things, makes Drupal a very powerful option.
