Drupal, more than a CMS, is a framework to create a CMS tailored to publishers and users, but it can also create many more solutions that go further, things that WordPress and Joomla do not do. All of them are distributed as free software and what they have in common is that they are developed in PHP and MySQL, although they can be integrated with other databases. Each of them has its community of users and developers who contribute to the development of the project, either working on improving the software or providing new modules to increase or improve its functionality. It should be noted that the Drupal community is Open Source.

The software is developed with the PHP programming language and uses a MySQL or MariaDB database, although it can be installed on other engines such as PostgreSQL. Drupal is not only a CMS but also its own framework that can be extended thanks to the use of the well-known framework Symfony, which belongs to PHP. Drupal is designed with templates and CSS style sheets, with which it is possible to build fully accessible websites. Today, most hosting providers have the minimum characteristics required by Drupal for its installation and correct operation, although it is recommended to consult the provider previously.
