WordPress vs Drupal: Which Is Better?

https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-vs-drupal/

This is probably the question you came here looking for…but it’s also a flawed question because it’s impossible to say whether WordPress or Drupal is “better”. Instead, a more helpful question to ask is “which is better for this specific website that I’m building?”.

That is – you should focus on choosing the right tool for your specific project, not looking for a proclamation that one is always better than the other.

At Kinsta, one of our main solutions is WordPress hosting – so it would be easy to say that WordPress is always the best solution. But that wouldn’t be a fair conclusion for our readers. If you’re building a site with complex data organization that needs to be customized and flexible, Drupal may well be a better choice. Just be aware that it’s unlikely to be accessible unless you:

• Are a developer
• Are willing to hire a developer

In the end, this is probably a good rule of thumb:

WordPress should be the default tool for most people to create a website because:

• It’s user-friendly and easy for non-developers to add functionality.
• You can quickly create an attractive and functional website.
• It’s easy to find both free and professional help.

That doesn’t mean WordPress is the best tool for all situations – just that it’s the best tool for most situations. Unless you already know the specific reasons why you need what Drupal offers, sticking with WordPress will likely make your web journey much easier.
