16. Why use Drupal over Wordpress?
• Wordpress was designed only to be a blog with some easy add-ons.
• Drupal was designed to be more of a generalist: it’s for making ‘anything’ and is far
more robust.
• Wordpress could be the better choice for blogs since it is better at being a blog than
Drupal. This is something of debate.
• Wordpress is still a sound choice of CMS for SEO and security; so if wordpress satisfies a
simpler project’s requirements then by all means use it- it is easier and faster to set up
than Drupal.
• Wordpress is not designed to be highly scalable to many simultaneous users, nor does it
have flexible roles, permissions, extensible content types, nor does it have plentiful
well-tested, quality add-ons. It has a few and a lot of really poor plugins.
• Caveat: Trying to force Wordpress to do something it cannot do easily with very popular
plug-ins can be worse than suffering the learning curve of Drupal.

17. Why use Drupal over Joomla? (or other CMS)
• It has superior session handling for a CMS.
• It has superior security.
• It is a more consistent, reliable and flexible framework for development.
• It is considered better for SEO from our research.
• It uses a ‘separation of concerns’ architecture to cleanly and consistently separate
structure, function, form, and presentation in layers (ie: php from data as db/xml,
layout and presentation as html and css).
• It heavily uses ‘defaults overrides’ in code in the form of hooks and in themes in
the form of templates. This makes it extremely flexible.
• Other CMS’es do a very very bad job of at least one of the above.

18. Downsides to the Druup
• Drupal has a steeper learning curve than
wordpress or Joomla.
• Drupal and it’s developers make no excuse for
this fact- it is a robust, flexible tool
• That said, the drupal community is constantly
addressing usability and user-experience issues
because they want the industry market share.
