What is Drupal?

Drupal is a free, open source content management framework used to build websites and digital experiences that range from simple sites to large, complex platforms. The software is maintained by a global community and stewarded by the nonprofit Drupal Association, and it can be downloaded and self hosted on any web server. Drupal supports custom content types, granular user permissions, and built in multilingual tools, and its functionality can be extended with more than 50,000 free contributed modules and 3,000 free themes.
