Drupal is an open-source content management system that allows anyone to download, use, modify, and share the software. It aims to develop a leading content management system using best practices in community publishing, knowledge management, and software design. Key values include flexibility, simplicity, teamwork, innovation, modularity, and maintainability. Drupal 8 is one of the best open source platforms for large websites with high traffic that may include e-commerce and different content types.

22. CONCLUSION
 Drupal 8 is one of the best, if not the very best, open source
web development platform for sites that will be large, have a
high volume of traffic, that may or may not include e-
Commerce, that will have a number of different content types
and that will grow over time.
 Smaller sites can be made with WordPress, and small to
medium-size corporate sites can also be made with Joomla,
but for premium design capabilities and technical capacity,
Drupal is typically the better choice than either of these two
CMSs.
 That might not always be the case; WordPress in particular
has come a long way from its blog engine beginnings to
where it is today. In short, however, big-budget website
projects organized by developers with a high degree of coding
literacy cannot go wrong with choosing Drupal 8.
