Drupal Or Umbraco: Which CMS Should My Business Use?

When any website and its applications are being developed a point comes where one CMS must be chosen over another, with the decision often boiling down to a contest between Drupal and Umbraco.  Overall, both are great platforms and our developers and technical support staff at liQuidprint have a long history with each, but some differences between the two are worth considering when it comes to crafting a system that best fits the needs of our clients.

To start there are technical differences between Umbraco and Drupal.  Drupal uses PHP and usually runs on Linux operating systems while Umbraco uses .NET and runs on Microsoft operating systems.  This is significant because the language your site is built in often affects the functionalities and needs moving forward.

Then, to simplify these differences, based on how they affect businesses and system performance read on.  Umbraco provides a solid, reliable skeleton that it's easy to modify and adapt to changing needs while Drupal benefits from a vast library of pre-built modules that have been created by developers from across the world.  Umbraco, then, is arguably a better choice for businesses that have unique needs or anticipate expanding into services or adding website features that are unclear or undefined at the present while Drupal lends itself to extremely quick development time if pre-made modules already exist for a business's needs.

Now what does this mean for a business?  Basically, the choice of CMS is generally influenced by the way any website and associated systems are likely to be used.  What features they need, what functionality and they're progression once the site is completed with future developments.  Our staff are masters at making both work for our clients, and so it's also easy for us to develop a CMS that is a perfect fit for any business.  For more information on what they can do for your business, feel free to contact liQuidprint at your convenience.  Why not build a website that comfortably matches the needs of your endeavors, after all?
