Content management with Drupal

Drupal is a free Content Management System (CMS) that is continuously improved and extended by a global community of developers and companies. A CMS allows you to manage and update content like texts, pictures, and applications independently from the website design. The Drupal CMS places particular emphasis on varied design possibilities for presenting the content. If you ensure your web hosting is Drupal compatible, you can create an individual design for your internet presence and other applications without any knowledge of CSS or HTML. Drupal web hosting was initially developed as a weblog or community system, but now serves more diverse purposes. It offers features for eCommerce set ups, picture galleries, mailing lists and high-performance programming interfaces for applications. CVS integration allows the management of different files versions.
