34 Drupal Sites And Why Drupal Makes Sense

Drupal might not be the easiest of CMS to manage but it’s one of the most complete solution if you want a full-fledged site. The choice of CMS must completely depend on the kind of website you want. Drupal and Joomla seems to be the choice of many users who want to create a serious dynamic site. There are however many great.
Drupal has a big community which keeps this CMS sexy by bringing out modules (plug-ins) which enhance the functionality of Drupal on its top. A site like flickr can be made in some time using Drupal with the help of free plugins as said in this post.
Drupal has some other benefits like you can create new content types and create advanced custom views for them without writing any code using Content Construction Kit (CCK) and Views Modules. One thing that will certainly make sense to most webmasters is the advanced URL control in Drupal which lets you give custom URL’s to each post. Drupal lets you structure your site’s content, allows multiple users to edit your site and even lets you Manage discussion forums. Further, polls can also be implemented for feedback. These were the basic features of Drupal which in other CMS, say WordPress requires plugins.
One thing however that ails Drupal is that there are hardly any good themes for Drupal and there is not much of awareness about the sites which are based on Drupal. We felt this need and thought to share what we know about this amazing CMS. Following are some of the sites which are based on Drupal. You might wanna check them out.

I would also like to say before someone of you may ask “Why are we on WordPress and not on Drupal?” The answer of that question would be the need because JustSkins is a simple blog right now and implementing Drupal makes more sense if you have a full fledged portal or some site more than just blog. We are although in the process of implementing Drupal on JustSkins so keep glued to this space. Just in case, we also create Drupal websites for clients and you can ping us anytime for an enquiry.
