What is your opinion about Drupal? - GoFuckYourself.com

I've heard the name before, but I've never used it. It looks like I may be now. What is your opinion about it, how does it compare to Wordpress? Any info would be good.

Thanks.

If you consider Drupal as a framework then it's great.

If you consider Drupal as an alternative to Wordpress you'll be disappointed.

I been working with Drupal for several years now, it does have kind of a steep learning curve. However once you catch on it all seems to make sense, its very customizable and you can configure a professional looking website without touching any code. However if you aren't afraid to touch the code and write your own modules it becomes very powerful. There is a great support community out there for helping to figure out problems, and there is a module that will do pretty much anything you would ever want. I'm putting the finishing touches on a tube site that I've built with drupal that will be going live in the next couple of weeks.

Ask Currently Sober. He's an expert on the topic.

My kids' mother is a Drupal pro. She can do anything with it. Once she lost her job, we started focusing on Drupal only...no more Wordpress, which is what I had always focused on.

We had planned to attack small business, but Drupal opens up the doors to big business. In less than 3 months, we've landed over $220k in contacts for the next 18 months. All Drupal based.

I love WordPress but I think it was built by a load of kiddie scripters, with dodgy plugins and bloated themes that don't work in different versions or conflict with each other. On the whole there's massive support a huge range of plugins and it's very SE friendly out of the box. Support of eCommerce in WP is getting better.

Set up properly Drupal can be SE friendly too (ie get rid of those dumb nodes) but out of the box it's nowhere near as SE-friendly as WP is but if I had the budget and my business was doing serious money online I'd do Drupal (or Magento).

You can build large complex websites with Drupal with no programming required.

But the learning curve is pretty steep. A few years ago I made a fairly large project to challenge myself to learn it, and it worked quite well.

I have been working with Drupal, created a few websites ... but i don't know, i don't see a big difference between wp/drupal/joomla. Of course they all have own the features, but my choice is wordpress - the most userfriendly cms i've ever used

Out of the box Drupal doesn't really give you much to work with, you have to know which modules to add and how to configure them to really make it into a functional website that is SE friendly.

I've actually never used Wordpress when I began experimenting with CMS's I thought it was just for making simple blogs, though it has certainly progressed beyond that. I experimented with other CMS's like Joomla, Xoops, EZPublish but I came back to Drupal because its being used by a lot of big businesses and has a great support community.

LOL I"m sure others here would disagree.

Tell me more about Modx. I did a spring clean on a ModX site and I was really impressed with it... super fast page speeds especially.

This was a 5 pager though do you have any experience or know of any larger sites?
