What works best Drupal, Joomla or WordPress?

One of the most asked questions is what works best Drupal, Joomla or WordPress? To be honest all three have their own advantages which we can use to best of our abilities and requirements. Let’s review some points


WordPress
It’s probably world’s best CMS and certainly most popular. It’s easy to install and it offer more plug-ins, themes and other customizations than any other open source CMS. Being popular, many companies offer WordPress development services to its clients at bare minimum rates. With millions of followers there is a strong community support available for WordPress developer. It is most suitable for small and medium scale ecommerce development. Only CMS that offers web hosting on its servers.

Drupal
This is the second most popular open source CMS and it is full open source CMS. It is less resource intensive compared to WordPress but technically more advanced. Having at least basic knowledge of HTML, PHP and other common web programming languages is highly recommended for anyone considering using Drupal. That’s why Drupal website development largely remains the foray of technocrats. You can develop a great looking website using Drupal but there is no option to have a website hosted on Drupal servers. Drupal pages are typically more responsive and take less loading time compared to other two CMS.

Joomla
It is another powerful open source CMS, often used as a compromise between WordPress and Drupal. Joomla works smoothly on many web servers. Just like other two it offers variety of plugins, templates and customizations and it is less technical compared to Drupal. One of the reasons why Joomla developers like it is the ease of social networking. Social networking plays a key role for many websites. Ecommerce development on Joomla is faster than other two CMSs. Like Drupal it doesn’t offer web hosting on its servers.


Ultimately you have to make your own choice. The advocates of each on these CMSs will jealously argue that what they prefer is the best CMS. Don’t worry you can always migrate from one CMS to another.
