Drupal is an open source Content Management System (CMS) maintained and developed by a large community of users and developers. A CMS is a software application (often web based) that enables its users to easily publish content, without requiring much technical skills. Drupal is web based and as such you can see it as a website that is easy to maintain and easy to update.
Drupal is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL), this means the software can be downloaded and shared with others for free. Ofcourse this also means that you as a client will never pay for Drupal itself.
Inside the (600.000+) community developers are constantly working to make Drupal a reliable and cutting-edge CMS that supports the latest technologies. The functionality of Drupal can easily be expanded with little software packages called modules. A large collection of these modules is provided by the community. And when a required module does not exist, then Xweb Media will build it for you.
