Drupal as a CMS

We focus on Drupal for a number of reasons. Though there are other great solutions like Joomla and Wordpress, we find that Drupal is superior in flexibility, security, and power. Regardless of which system you choose, the best part about a CMS is that by removing the technical hurdle to adding content it puts the power in the hands of your organization.

1. Drupal is a Web Development Foundation which allows us to build  custom applications and modules using all of the commuity built tools it offers.
2. The security features surpass all other CMS. You have very fine grained control over who has access to what content.
3. Scalable - Drupal can meet a wide range of needs, from creating a quick drop in solution for an organization that just wants instant web presence, to the organizations that really want to push the Web 2.0 technology.
4. Community supported so you get endless amounts of people working to make it better by fixing bugs, fixing security problems, and creating modules to add features.
5. CiviCRM integration (http://www.civicrm.org) this is a critical key software for Non-Profits. You get all the power of the commercial software programs  Constant Contact, Sales-Force, and Event Management ALL IN ONE PLACE, so your data is truly centralized. It ties tightly into drupal. It is made from the ground up with Non-Profits in mind and it is licensed under the GPL so it will ALWAYS BE FREE.
6. Customizable Database drupal allows you to easily add fields, content types, etc by acting as a graphical interface to the database.  With no SQL training you can create data content types to store your data the way you need to, and query it with just as much ease. No HTML, no SQL required.
7. Graphical Editor keeps getting better. Upload files, insert images, create links and tables with NO HTML knowledge.
8. Web 2.0 ready FEEDS, XML, Site Map, and Clean URLs all work seemlessly with drupal.
9. Taxonomy (tagging and organizing your data) drupal can not be beat.  You will have extensive means to sort your data, store it and relate it to each other.
