Once upon a time, there came a situation in the digital world, when every enterprise wanted their web applications to be customized as per their requisites. Moreover, they wanted this to happen in a cost-effective manner. Entrepreneurs summoned their developers and asked them to devise a solution. There was a mayhem amongst the developers! They had to locate a way of making websites robust, scalable, efficient, customizable and cost-effective all at the same time! This is when an open source CMS, Drupal, came to their rescue.

Any Drupal developer can connect to the story above. Lately, this platform has emerged as a hero for the development guys. Along with its robust framework and exceptional features, this CMS has made web development straightforward and cheap. 

What is it that helps Drupal make development a child’s play? We call them the three secret weapons. Let’s get acquainted with these weapons that aid this content management system to address the development concerns of every Drupal developer India.

Secret Weapon # 1
In the modern times where content creation and customization are the top-rated priorities of enterprises, it becomes imperative for a web application to go beyond simple data management and offer easy content retrieval. This is where Drupal’s taxonomy module comes handy. Drupal was designed keeping the motto of knowledge sharing in mind. It gives users the power to create a tagging structure themselves, without depending upon the system administrator. It enables the management of taxonomies in hierarchy. Without reprogramming the system, developers can let the users create relationships amongst different categories.

Secret Weapon # 2
When content creation is a challenge, the CCK and Views modules in Drupal act as the weapon of rescue. One of the most essential module of this platform, Content Creation Kit (CCK), helps in creating different types of content and extend the existing types as and when required. Working closely with this is the Views module that essentially builds query for filtering and displaying results. 

Secret Weapon # 3
Drupal is a highly secure platform. While giving developers a choice to create multiple users and controlling their access to the featured content on the website, its in-built plug-ins allow you to choose and pick security features as per your web requisites.
With the abovementioned three weapons, Drupal makes web development effective and more secure. If you are also one of those entrepreneurs who have been pushing your developers to produce highly robust web application, then it’s time to try Drupal right away!
