0 likes•1,604 views
Drupal and WordPress are both open source content management systems (CMS) based on PHP and GPL licensing. While they share some similarities, there are also notable differences in their usage, communities, releases, plugins/modules, and performance. Drupal tends to be better for larger-scale or more complex websites that integrate with other systems, while WordPress is generally better for smaller sites like blogs or online brochures. Both have pros and cons regarding specific features.
