Advantages to Using a CMS

The acronym CMS stands for Content Management System. A CMS site will allow you to make changes to the back end of your website without the need to use any coding. This allows you to have more control over your content, including the ability to change content quickly and easily. A CMS is ideal because of the various advantages that it offers website owners. These are the benefits that we think relate to just about any business.

Drupal 6 Migration Options

Drupal 6 will be officially abandoned within the next year when Drupal 8 is released. At that point Drupal 6 will no longer be supported. Â This means there will be no updates provided, including security and technical patches. Â This is not a place anyone wants to be, because if your website comes up against any security or technical issues it is likely that you may not be able to get any assistance.

The New Drupal 8 is Coming Out Later This Year

Visual Compass Uncategorized

Every major release of Drupal brings new features, and improvements. Drupal 8 will be no different. According to developers, Drupal 8 will be the most significant update in Drupal history. The improvements will include new usability tools to manage layouts and views, a great deal more mobile support, new templates, enhancements to the language translator and a really improved CMS that aims to support a robust out-of-the-box configuration system. Once this is rolled out and all bugs are fixed, we believe this will be a wonderful improvement to the Drupal platform.
