What is Drupal?

Drupal is an outstanding tool that allows users to quickly create mere, complex and custom-made websites, and answer the specifications of most demanding customers. This is a content management system (CMS) free and open source developed in 2001 by Dries Buytaert. Regarded as one of the major free CMS platforms, it allows projects such as showcases sites, social networks, or even Intranets.

Advantages and references

Drupal has many modules and features to quickly make a site and make it evolve. Indeed, more than 4,000 optional modules cover almost all functional areas. Moreover, its API (application programming interface) makes it easy to create its own modules. Finally its optimized architecture allows it to manage high traffic sites. Today, this open source technology gathers half a million members and thousands of companies ensure the sustainability, innovation, and fluidity of the platform. Many companies or organizations have already adopted Drupal. Among them: SonyBMG, Warner Brothers Records, The New York Observer, the Swiss group Edipresse, Greenpeace or Amnesty International. Recently the Economist Group decided to migrate its entire website to a Drupal platform.

E-nova and Drupal

Since the update of the translation system in 2008, Drupal is really considered like the reference. However E-nova has not waited so long and already worked with this tool from our early stages. Thus, over the years we have built a team of experts in Drupal, made up with developers mastering the architecture of the CMS, and having a good knowledge of existing modules and the skills to develop new ones. You will find below some examples of Drupal projects on which we worked.
