According to Drupal itself, the Drupal CMS platform—previously known as Starshot—aims to simplify and accelerate website creation for newcomers without any prior experience in Drupal or PHP. The strengths of this version lie in its speed, ease of use, and immediate value. Drupal CMS offers a more accessible entry point for creating and managing digital experiences, with the clear objective of delivering a simpler yet more powerful web experience than ever before.
Features included in the trial version
Among the main features of the trial version are a browser-based user interface, curated content architecture tools, pre-installed modules, and recipe-based site creation options.
The system also provides a ready-to-use functional foundation that lets users add content, customize layouts and see results before needing to code. With its built-in theme selection and reporting capabilities, it helps newcomers achieve a faster time-to-value while maintaining the flexibility to scale within the Drupal ecosystem in the future.
One of the most notable features of the full version is the integration of artificial intelligence into Drupal CMS, which assists users in their daily tasks. They can choose between having AI automate tasks entirely or guide them step by step, allowing them to learn about this CMS on the go. Other highlights include a robust search function with multiple filters and even autocomplete capabilities, improved multimedia event management and the integration of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager.
