Whats Common ?
- All three of the webs most popular CMS have a
lot in common in terms of technology, philosophy,
and community. - WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal are all free
and open source software licensed under GPL. - All three of them are written primarily in PHP.
- All three of them use themes and templates for
visual appearance of sites, andplugins, modules,
or extensions for extending features. - They all support MySQL as their database
management system. WordPress exclusively supports
only MySQL, while Joomla and Drupal support other
database management systems. - As open source software, they are all
community-driven projects.

Ease of use and Beginner Friendliness
- Wordpress - WordPress comes with a famous five
minute install. Most WordPress hostingproviders
also offer one click install of WordPress. This
makes it fairly easy for a new user start a
WordPress blog in minutes, not hours.
4
- Joomla - Joomla installation may not look as
quick as WordPress, but it has very similar
steps. Apart from that many shared hosting
providers offer one click install packages for
Joomla as well.
5
- Drupal Drupals installation is similar to both
Joomla and WordPress. Simply download and upload
the package and run the installation script.
6
Support Options
- Wordpress WordPress has a strong community of
users. You can find WordPress help on official
support forums, docs, handbooks,
codex, Slack channels, Stack Exchange, and almost
every forum on the internet about web design and
development.
7
- Joomla - Joomla, just like WordPress has a large
and very helpful community. There is an extensive
documentation on the Joomla website which is a
valuable resource for beginners. For more
interactive support, users can join forums,
mailing lists, IRC chatrooms, etc.
8
- Drupal - Drupal has a very proactive community of
fans and users. You will find all the community
support options for Drupal just like WordPress
and Joomla. There is extensive documentation,
support forum, mailing lists, user groups, irc
chatrooms. All good places to get advice and free
help.

Localization Multi-Lingiual Support
- Wordpress WordPress does an excellent job at
offering a good platform to build a multilingual
site. It does not support multiple languages out
of the box, but there are some excellent plugins
that allow you to easily create a WordPress
multilingual site.
10
- Joomla - Joomla comes with out of the box
capability to handle a multilingual website
without installing any extension. Simply go to
language manager, add a content language and
start creating multilingual content on your
website.
11
- Drupal - Drupal comes with built-in support to
handle non-English or multilingual sites. You
will need to enable locale and content
translation modules. After that you can add site
and admin interface languages from Drupals
configuration section.
12
Security
- Wordpress Being the most popular CMS in the
world, WordPress based websites are often
targeted by hackers. However, WordPress is built
on a very secure code, and it responds to
security vulnerability very quickly. WordPress
also has an auto-update mechanism which allows
WordPress websites to automatically update when
there is a new security patch. - WordPress sites can be further secured with
automated backups, two factor authentication, and
other best practices. - There is also a built-in mechanism to show
updates for WordPress themes and plugins. This
allows themes and plugin developers to rapidly
respond to any security vulnerability.
13
- Joomla - Joomla is very similar to WordPress
when it comes to security. They actively respond
to any security vulnerability and are very quick
to patch it up. However, maintaining a website
and installing updates is still up to the user. - There are extensions available to backup your
Joomla site. You can also strengthen your Joomla
sites security by following the same best
practices as WordPress. - Drupal - Drupal takes a very serious approach
to security. They publish security
vulnerabilities on their own site as they are
discovered and patched. There is a perception
that Drupal is more secure because you dont hear
about Drupal sites being hacked as often, but
that could be cause its not as popular Joomla or
WordPress.
14
Concusion
- Drupal, Joomla and WordPress are all fantastic
content management systems. Drupal and Joomla
come with many more built-in features than
WordPress. However, WordPress beats them with its
ease of use, huge global community, plugins and
themes. We feel that most non-developer users
would find it much easier to build with WordPress
than Joomla or Drupal.
