Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.We work with Drupal already more than 7 years. And we love the system with all our hearts. But sometimes it is a problem to assure clients why it’s better to use Drupal for their projects instead of some other CMS. Taking part and organizing different-scale Drupal events like DrupalCafes, DrupalCamps, DrupalCons, talking to other Drupal teams we came to the conclusion that convincing clients that Drupal is the best is not just our problem! Drupal definitely needs more advertising.
We decided to help the community and ourselves with Drupal PR and prepared a video with some important facts about Drupal.
