Drupal is an open-source content management system (CMS) that allows us as developers to easily create a unique interface for our customers. Then, once we hand your newly designed website over to you, you’ll have a good CMS in place to give you the freedom to make changes to your website.

You will have administrative capabilities on your website to navigate through and change content or images whenever you would like to – giving you full control over your content management. With a simple platform such as Drupal, anyone can do these changes with minimal or no website knowledge.

Drupal comes fully integrated with several digital features, such as menus and modules, that we can use to improve your website to properly market your brand.

Who Should Build With Drupal?

Small To Medium Business in Australia

While Drupal may not be a common household name worldwide in terms of digital platforms, it is quite popular. Over one million companies use the platform, ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies.

Drupal websites Perth are adaptable and promote the growth of your company. If you only require a small menu and minimal features on your website, it does not mean you are limited to these settings.

As your company grows, your Drupal website in Perth can grow with you. Drupal-based websites are built to withstand large increases in content, visitors, and general growth. The system has the potential for a wide range of projects, giving your team the freedom to increase the website’s capabilities at any time.

At PWD, our Drupal web development and design team will build a versatile website built on Drupal that you can modify as your company grows. However, you don’t have to worry about the technical side because our Drupal developers will always be available to offer you help.

Security and speed are top features on websites using Drupal. These elements are important to improve the user experience on your site. Visitors tend to leave sites that take too long to load pages and searches. So, you want to make sure that your site is built with top-notch optimization in mind.

Security is another factor to consider when choosing Drupal as it is incredibly important for both you and your site’s users. Drupal contains robust built-in security that includes encrypted passwords and high-end authentication settings. This will ensure that your small business is safe and secure from cyber threats.

Australian Enterprise Businesses


Drupal websites Perth are perfectly suited for enterprise companies. This is due to the ability to handle complexities in terms of content, media, and features. Websites built on Drupal can also accommodate high traffic and have space for exponential growth. This allows your company to keep growing with a website that will adapt along with you.

Since Drupal is open-source software, this greatly cuts the cost of your website. This means that, as your company grows you can add more editors, without increasing your spending due to licensing costs.

Your brand can be among the top in the world with Drupal’s built-in SEO modules that help market your brand. The SEO tools help keep you on the first page of Google when visitors search online for services or products you offer.

The large Drupal user base is another reason why you should create a website powered by Drupal. Not only can you easily find answers to any questions you have, but modules, themes, and events are always improving thanks to the many Drupal developers across the world. This gives Drupal an edge in digital innovation and improvement.

In the system upgrade of Drupal 8, the company has closed the gaps and offers everything a corporate client will need. Drupal’s platform has a built-in API framework in place allowing ease of integration between various software.

Drupal 8 also introduced an upgraded multilingual system allowing your website to include multiple translations. In addition, the latest versions of Drupal contain a seamless workflow module. All these tools are great for larger businesses and that is why Fortune 500 companies use this platform.

Headless
Drupal Development

What Is Headless Drupal?

There are many reasons why you should use Drupal, and another one of those is the ability to use headless Drupal. Drupal 8 has an exemplary API framework in place. Because of this, it is possible to manage the front-end of your website using different software, while the back-end is still hosted on Drupal’s platform.

This is the latest cutting-edge web development method used by a few CMS platforms. Headless Drupal is also known as decoupled Drupal, as it separates the front- and back-end. This feature of Drupal enables users the freedom to customise their website interface even more.

Users can alter the front-end of the website as needed to build a mobile-friendly site, tablet-friendly site, and an app interface.

Benefits Of Headless Drupal:


When using headless Drupal, site editors can integrate different designs and technologies that are not compatible with Drupal’s standard interface. This gives the editor freedom to display the same information in multiple ways.

This decoupled CMS offers faster content delivery for your interface. It also produces a flexible form of delivering your content among multiple platforms to give your visitors a better user experience.

The decoupled interface also improves security as administrators can limit access to certain settings. Not only this, but you can produce your content on one system and deliver it to users on an entirely different system.

This type of Drupal also provides front-end developers more freedom to design and create using software they are more skilled in. If Drupal 8 or later versions are too complicated, users can revert to JavaScript and other development tools.

Our services go above and beyond creating Drupal Websites in Perth as we offer our clients several services to support their brands and website visions.

Why You Should Use Drupal

The CMS you choose to use on your site should depend on the needs of your business and brand. Websites powered by Drupal offer several benefits as stated above, and this is how it compares to other CMS platforms.

Drupal Vs WordPress

Drupal offers free open-source software that is constantly being improved with new features and designs. This gives you flexibility and a fully customisable website. WordPress is easier for beginners to use with its user-friendly backend. However, by hiring a web developer, you can get a well-designed Drupal site with all the specific functions that you need.

Drupal Vs Kentico

Kentico offers a fair amount of features and software integrations such as a built-in booking system and event calendar. But, Drupal is a free open-source CMS, whereas Kentico requires a paid subscription.

Drupal Vs Sitecore

Both Drupal and Sitecore offer scalability for your growing business. However, Sitecore attempts to offer too many specialized tools such as high-end optimisation tools. It also offers slightly fewer features for web accessibility.

Drupal Vs Joomla

Joomla is another big name in CMS platforms as it offers a beginner-friendly interface. It also excels with social networking and e-commerce sites. Drupal is effective for several other types of sites due to the flexibility of the software.
