About

What's Drupal?

Drupal is a wildly popular, flexible, robust, free, and open source Content Management System (CMS) that allows individuals or communities to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website. It's used by thousands of individuals and organizations around the world, from presidential candidates to pop stars to newspapers to neighborhood community groups.

Some common types of sites built with Drupal are:

• Community web portals
• Discussion sites
• Corporate web sites
• Intranet applications
• Personal web sites or blogs
• Aficionado sites
• E-commerce applications
• Resource directories
• Social Networking sites

Yeah, but, in Cleveland -- the rust belt?

Drupal is exactly the solution for people and organizations seeking a robust, extensible framework for highly-functional websites that support collaboration and user-contributed content.

Northeast Ohio has the right people... Drupal provides the means to connect us -- to each other and to our purposes -- to grow and strengthen communities, and to help businesses and non-profits succeed.
