- 22. CONCLUSION Drupal 8 is one of the best, if not the very best, open source web development platform for sites that will be large, have a high volume of traffic, that may or may not include e- Commerce, that will have a number of different content types and that will grow over time. Smaller sites can be made with WordPress, and small to medium-size corporate sites can also be made with Joomla, but for premium design capabilities and technical capacity, Drupal is typically the better choice than either of these two CMSs. That might not always be the case; WordPress in particular has come a long way from its blog engine beginnings to where it is today. In short, however, big-budget website projects organized by developers with a high degree of coding literacy cannot go wrong with choosing Drupal 8.
