WordPress is a More User-Friendly and Intuitive Content Management System

Drupal is an open source content management system, which allows for the creation of complex websites and web applications. It has many similarities to WordPress in terms of the functionality it allows, but that’s really the only category in which the platform truly excels. Created in 2001, Drupal became a leading option for CMS platforms and grew to be widely used by web developers. Like the functionality it allows, Drupal is a very complex system. In order to fully utilize its capabilities, one must go through extensive tutorials and guides in order to grasp a basic understanding of the platform. For a CMS, this is a bit of an unreal expectation because the entire point of using such a platform is convenience. This is why WordPress is a much better option, and there are many reasons users might find migrating a Drupal site to WordPress beneficial.

WordPress Offers the Same Functionality

While WordPress began as more of a blogging platform, its features now expand far beyond that. WordPress has a vast library of plugins that each allow the user to add a different element of functionality to their website. Drupal’s main advantage is the complex functionality it allows. However, WordPress allows the user to manage the functionality they wish to add much more easily, and only charges for each plugin used. This eliminates any unnecessary costs, and allows the user to only pay for the features they use.

WordPress is Easy

Yes, Drupal definitely offers advanced functionality, but the platform is difficult to learn and difficult to use. Drupal requires the user to already have a rather advanced understanding of web development, which somewhat defeats the purpose of a CMS. If a user commissions a freelancer or a web development firm to create a site using the Drupal platform, they are left with a site that is difficult for them to maintain and almost impossible for them to change or overhaul without first undergoing serious training with the platform. WordPress, however, offers an easy-to-use user interface that allows for customizations and updates to be made to the site without knowing very much about web development.

Themes

WordPress offers a variety of themes, and essentially holds your hand through the process of creating your site. Drupal offers very few free pre-made themes because of the expectation that everything on Drupal is custom. WordPress is very customizable as well, but it also helps the user start off in the right direction. Major aesthetic changes and site updates are easily managed through the WordPress dashboard, where Drupal would require a lot more work and would not be nearly as simple.

I have worked with WordHerd on many website projects and they have consistently met or exceeded my expectations. WordHerd is very easy to work with and kept me updated on the progress of our projects while delivering on time.

WordHerd did an amazing job with our CMS migration to WordPress. They over-delivered on our expectations and handled the process end to end, on time, and on budget. They had the experience and depth of knowledge to handle our large scale project, which was built on an out of date, clunky CMS. I would highly recommend WordHerd for any development project.

WordHerd has been fantastic to work with. We’re always impressed with their ability to take our goals and ideas, and bring them to life online. It’s hard to find a company that can design and develop, they excel in both and have always delivered an end product that we love.

WordHerd helped convert our website from a proprietary CMS that was being sunset to WordPress. They were by far the most cost-effective solution we could find and completed the work under a tight deadline. They responded to our questions and concerns promptly throughout the project.
