Drupal Development Services: Why Opt for Drupal for Your Next Web Project?

Now, let me try to imagine how your “feature wishlist”, the one that you're using to evaluate different technologies these days, must look like. I'm pretty sure that it includes capabilities like:

- a robust security system - customization features - multilingual support - built-in content moderation - above-the-average scalability - high performance - smooth third-party integration - easy configuration management

Is my guess accurate enough?

You might want to keep that wishlist at hand. This way, you can check off features and functionalities as you walk through these top 6 reasons for choosing a Drupal team in Toronto for your next web project:

1. Robust Built-In Security Features

If security is one of your main concerns, then stay assured: it's Drupal's top priority, as well.

And the baked-in security system is the most solid evidence in this respect. Here are some of the most powerful features that it includes translated into benefits for you, from a security standpoint:

- protect your website from CSRF, XSS and other bad scenarios of this type and rely on Drupal's Form API to handle the whole data validation process - set up a secure access system on your website by leveraging Drupal's built-in support for repeatedly hashing passwords and salting - tap into its baked-in capabilities and define a strong password policy - use Drupal to set up a granular user access control system: assign different roles, granting them different levels of permission - leverage Drupal's multi-layered cache architecture to prevent DoS attacks - set a number of allowed login attempts coming from the same IT address, over a specific period of time

2. Scalability: A Strong Reason to Opt for Drupal Development Services

If we had to reduce Drupal to its 3 most representative features, scalability would most certainly be one of them.

Even if your current web project is a basic, low scale, low profile one, it doesn't mean that you can't... dream big. Drupal's designed to scale to both your present and your future needs:

- to withstand huge spikes of traffic - to accommodate a content-heavy website - to cope with a whole network of content contributors and Drupal users working simultaneously on your website

3. Baked-in Content Moderation

Another strong reason for teaming up with a Drupal agency in Toronto (over one using a different web technology) is the set of content creation and editing tools that you get right out of the box:

- in-place editing tools - an editorial system that enables your team to create, edit, manage, review, approve and publish content... on the go, anytime, from any type of device - various editorial workflow states that you can choose from (in review, published, in progress...)

In short: Drupal provides you with all the tools you need for setting up your custom content workflow. One perfectly scaled to your team's editorial needs.

4. Unmatched Flexibility, Deriving from its Modularity

How do you benefit from opting for Drupal development services? You're granted total freedom of customization.

Drupal ships with a rich collection of modules (that keeps on growing as we speak) that you can scan through, select from and mix and match to your liking.

If there's a particular functionality that you'd like to incorporate into your website now or in the future, you can be sure there's already a module built around it.

5. Speed

Equally important as security. For you do want to prevent your website from brute-force attacks and to protect the visitors' privacy, but you also want to deliver them the best experience.

And high speed has a major impact on the user experience.

Luckily with Drupal your web pages will load significantly faster. And there's one main “culprit” for that: Drupal's caching system.

6. Multilingual Support

From:

- an admin interface in the language of your choice - to content translation workflows - to core modules that support your content translation efforts

… Drupal's built-in multilingual support is unexpectedly complex.

For instance, you can install Drupal 8 in no less than 90 different languages, with no third-party tool needed.

Planning to build a multi-site structure, with each website displaying its content in a different language? With Drupal, it gets as simple as... downloading the language packages.

And these 6 reasons for choosing Drupal development services for your next web project are but some of them all.

I could have added its “content as a service” feature, the thriving community supporting it, the out-of-the-box configuration management, it's highly flexible content architecture and so on...

What do you think now, after walking through these 6 key Drupal features: is assigning a Drupal agency in Toronto with your next web project a smart decision or not?
