Drupal
The Web's Most Powerful Open Source CMS
Drupal is an open source content management system that provides a composable, API-first platform for building digital experiences. It addresses the need for structured content tools, integrated AI capabilities, and low-code/no-code options, allowing organizations to design around their own vision and integrate best-in-class AI tools without vendor lock-in.
The platform offers two main offerings: Drupal CMS, aimed at marketers, content creators and site builders with smart defaults and an enhanced user experience to guide setup, and Drupal core, aimed at developers and advanced users who start from scratch and customize included features. Capabilities include structured content tools, API-first architecture, integrated AI capabilities, modules, themes, recipes, site templates, and documentation covering APIs and local development with Docker and DDEV. Drupal also provides issue queues, security advisories, and a Drupal Steward protection service.
Drupal is packaged as open source software available for download, with Drupal CMS recommended for most websites and Drupal core for advanced users and developers. The project is maintained by a global open source community, with options to become a member, a sustaining member, or a certified partner, and to donate to the nonprofit Drupal Association.
