Why Drupal?

Web 2.0 Trends

Social media sites (MySpace, YouTube, FaceBook, Tagged, Technorati, Digg, etc.) have become the new online heavyweights by allowing more sharing of opinions, photos, video, etc. some call it web 2.0, a second generation the web matures. Gone are the static one way websites that are difficult to update and serve as little more than online brochures, limited by the tools and expectations of the time. In their place are exciting new online communities of individuals connected by their common interests, no longer limited by time and distance.
How does a company or organization join in the fun and keep from getting left behind while the world hops on the web 2.0 bandwagon? At Webshaq our answer is "Drupal" a powerful Content Management System (CMS) that allows groups big and small to connect and share in a variety of ways. The core installation is easily extended by a vast array of "modules" allowing total customization of the site's abilities. Pre-made "themes" can be customized giving a professional look while reducing design time. Drupal is supported by a devoted community of developers, continuing to improve it's capability, security, and usability.
When we were searching for a CMS to move eXploreApark to we looked at several options, checking out Wordpress, Joomla, and finally choosing Drupal for it's combination of administrative control over users, content and functionality, Drupal's search engine friendliness and development community.
