Drupal CMS has arrived: revolutionising digital experiences for businesses
The much-anticipated launch of Drupal CMS is here, and we’re excited to celebrate and share the news! At Sitback, we’ve been part of the Drupal journey since all the way back from version 4, so we know just how transformative this platform can be. With Drupal CMS, businesses across industries now have an even more powerful tool to create exceptional digital experiences.
Drupal CMS puts the power of Drupal into the hands of marketers, designers and content creators.
What is Drupal CMS?
Drupal CMS builds on the trusted foundation of Drupal Core (many of us used to refer to Drupal Core as Drupal CMS, so this new product name is more than a little confusing 😂), offering the same flexibility and scalability but with a more streamlined and user-friendly experience. Just like Drupal Core, Drupal CMS is 100% free and open source, and always will be. Whether you’re running a small non-profit or a global enterprise, this platform is designed to meet your needs. Here’s what makes it stand out:
- AI-powered capabilities: This is one of the most exciting aspects – Automate content creation, personalise user experiences, and analyse data with ease using built-in AI tools. The Drupal Agent Chatbot provides AI-powered assistance to help you structure your website content and customise your content model. Simply ask it to create a content type, and it handles the details—adding fields, vocabularies, and other components automatically.
- Fast set up: Launch your site quickly with tools designed for marketing teams. Preconfigured content types (e.g., blog, news, events, etc) and smart defaults handle the technical details, letting you focus on what matters most.
- Enhanced usability: A more intuitive interface means your team can manage content without needing advanced technical skills. Built-in accessibility features and privacy tools help you create trustworthy digital experiences that work for everyone.
- Seamless integrations: Connect Drupal CMS with your favourite tools to create a cohesive digital ecosystem.
- Unmatched performance: Faster load times and improved reliability enhance user satisfaction. Real-time SEO features come built-in so you can maximise the effectiveness of all your content.
- Top-tier security: Designed for industries where protecting sensitive data is critical.
For those needing maximum customisation, Drupal Core remains the ideal choice for highly tailored projects, and can still leverage the features from Drupal CMS that you don’t want to miss out on.
Why Drupal CMS matters to your business
In today’s fast-paced digital world, businesses face mounting challenges to meet customer expectations while staying efficient. Drupal CMS helps by:
- Simplifying content management: User-friendly tools let you focus on creating impactful content instead of struggling with technical hurdles.
- Scaling for growth: Whether you’re just starting or rapidly expanding, Drupal CMS evolves with your business.
- Delivering personalisation at scale: Tailor experiences to individual users, building stronger connections and loyalty.

A multi-award-winning website that we’re incredibly proud of.

Partnering with Adapt NSW, we developed a leading platform for climate change information. Built on Drupal, this site provides critical insights to policymakers and the public through a seamless and accessible user experience. It’s a shining example of how Drupal can support meaningful communication.
