Last, but certainly not least, there’s Drupal. A hair behind Joomla in the popularity contest (backing 2.2% of sites compared to Joomla’s 2.8%), Drupal is extremely powerful and chock-full of security right out of the box.
What Is Drupal?
In a class all its own, Drupal is a content management framework,
meaning you can use it to build a CMS that meets your specific needs.
The trick here is that it can be very difficult to manipulate if you
don’t know what you’re doing.
What’s It Best For?
Drupal is arguably the most complex of the three platforms, to the point
of being frustrating for even some of the more experienced developer
folks out there. However, the robust security it offers makes it ideal
for enterprise-level sites and governmental agencies. Actually, rumor
has it the White House website runs on Drupal.
How to Get Started
You know the drill: The first step to getting started with Drupal is signing up for hosting.
Drupal Performance
Though lacking in popularity due to its technical knowledge
requirements, the Drupal platform comes packed with the most performance
potential right out of the box. Plus, the fact that the White House
entrusted their site to the platform has got to tell you something
Drupal is known for delivering highly performant web applications.
The agility this content management framework offers developers is
excellent.
