New Drupal CMS puts Drupal’s power at the fingertips of marketers and content teams with an introductory view and smart defaults.
Drupal has today released Drupal CMS, a powerful tool for marketers and content teams to build the best digital experiences. This release is a big step for Drupal’s attempt to bring enterprise-grade web development closer to its users as an open-source project.
Drupal CMS offers marketer friendly and user-friendly interface that uses Drupal’s proven infrastructure to reduce the learning curve, adoption hurdle, and maintenance expenses for Drupal websites. It also includes intelligent defaults for everyday marketing tasks, AI driven automation tools for faster deployment, and cross-platform integration with industry leading marketing tools — all without losing Drupal’s well-earned flexibility and scalability.
“With Drupal CMS, we’re opening powerful web development to more content creators, marketers, and web managers. “This is the first step in our three-year roadmap to revolutionize Drupal CMS as the default platform for no-code website design,” said Dries Buytaert, Drupal Founder and Project Lead. “Organizations will no longer have to choose between user friendliness and growth.” Added Karma.
“This release is a product of our international community all collaborating on making the web more open and accessible,” said Tim Doyle, Chief Executive Officer at Drupal Association. “It shows just how transformative open-source collaboration can be to the way we build for the web.”
Drupal CMS provides you with a collection of modules from Drupal’s 4,800+ community-built modules, providing an out-of-the-box solution for your business to create advanced websites in short time.

Drupal CMS has an ambitious roadmap and an international network of Drupal partners and digital agencies. Continuous feature updates will update the platform every month until 2025 and beyond, like Experience Builder — an innovative visual tool for seamless website design.
About Drupal
The most used open-source content management system in the world, Drupal powers millions of websites and digital experiences since it was first launched in 2001. Originally starting out in a university dorm room, Drupal is now an international force in web technologies, with thousands of active contributors all over the world.
More than 500,000 Drupal websites now operate on Drupal: from digital experiences for NASA, BBC, UNICEF, Tesla and government institutions globally. These diverse use cases prove Drupal’s flexibility and enterprise-level power. The platform’s economic impact is huge: it is estimated that there are about $3.5 billion in Drupal-related development and hosting projects generated each year via the global Drupal agency and service provider ecosystem.
A Digital Public Good, Drupal’s innovation, security and accessibility have made it an anchor of the open web. By continuously building it within the community, by adhering to web standards, Drupal has constantly adapted to the ever-evolving demands of the internet without losing its foundation of extensibility, security, and community involvement.
