I started working with Drupal early in 2006. It is an open-source, PHP-based content management system, and offers web sites a broad range of features such as multi-user administration, community interactivity and news aggregation. The Drupal community is large so the source for help or modules is endless. From a web developers point of view, the modular code structure makes for easy customizations. Theming was a bit of a challenge at first, but once familiar with the structure, I found it to be very flexible.

I have found it necessary, however, to do a lot of tutoring because of the complexity of the admin. Many users find it a bit confusing because of strange terminology. Although Drupal makes it very easy to keep custom modules, themes, and the core Drupal files up-to-date, many users find the constant updates a bit overwhelming.

Many of my web savy clients have learned the ropes and enjoyed all the features of their Drupal websites.
