The Drupal Content Management System uses the LAMP open source software, Cascading Style Sheets, and the web pages are written in PHP. It is a powerful free system that anyone can use in order to create their own web site. It is used to build a wide variety of sites and applications and is used by many companies and also for personal web sites. It can be used for social networking, ecommerce, a photo-sharing site, a blog network, etc. The uses are endless.

The primary strength of the Drupal core is the ability for users to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website. It also gives you the ability to select and install modules from a vast community supported module library. Modules can be downloaded and installed that enable features such as ecommerce, blogs, forums, newsletters, podcasting, picture galleries, file uploads and downloads, and much more. Drupal’s modular design gives you a lot of flexibility when designing a web site or blog. You can install only the modules that you want to use. Another great thing about Drupal is that it allows you to thoroughly customize the appearance of your web site by the use of themes. With themes you can easily change the look of your web site without changing the content.
