Why use Sector?

Sector is targeted towards Drupal site builders and site owners who are looking for a fully configured Drupal project out of the box. Content owners and editors will find an intuitive content management system, great authoring experiences and administration that does not require coding.

The preconfigured content types, file types, displays and views provide support for hierarchical, taxonomy, and search driven content strategies. The flexible and modular structure allows your Sector site to start small and grow big.

Sample content is provided to demonstrate the capabilities of Sector at one glance, and can be removed by disabling the sample content features.

Sector Drupal 8 and under

Sparks Interactive are no longer actively maintaining Sector D8 or Sector D7. We no longer provide Drupal security updates and regular health checks on unsupported versions. It is recommended you upgrade your site to Sector D9 as soon as possible.
