Why Drupal?

“I love challenging myself and trying new things – with Drupal, there’s no limit to what you can do.”
- Mika, Senior Drupalist

Drupal is a leading content management system (CMS) for content centric sites. It’s behind many widely-used web services critical for the society. As a Siili Drupalist, you may get to build the platform for the city of Helsinki, enabling better communication with its citizens. Or you may become part of creating a modern digital hub for students and stakeholders of Aalto University. Our current projects may lead you to help large global industrial companies build platforms improving their processes for sustainable sourcing of renewable raw materials.

Drupal is made possible by one of the largest open source communities in the world , which supports you in learning the tricks of Drupal and shares passion for improving the Drupal software. This inspiring community gathers together for having fun and learning at DrupalCons allowing you to build your own global network of experts.

Drupal shines in larger web systems having multiple integrations, a complex, structured data model, user management and requirements for data processing. It has a good reputation in security issues.
