Drupal vs CouchCMS: What are the differences?

Drupal: Free, Open, Modular CMS written in PHP. Drupal is an open source content management platform powering millions of websites and applications. It’s built, used, and supported by an active and diverse community of people around the world; CouchCMS: A light-weight CMS for web designers. It is a free, open source and simple Content Management System that can be used to design beautiful websites without any knowledge of PHP.

Drupal and CouchCMS belong to "Self-Hosted Blogging / CMS" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Drupal are:

  • Categorize with taxonomy, automatically create friendly path urls, create custom lists, associate content with other content on your site, and create smart defaults for content creators
  • Manage content with an easy-to-use web interface. Drupal's flexibility handles countless content types including video, text, blog, podcasts, and polls with robust user management, menu handling, real-time statistics and optional revision control.
  • Users can be assigned one or more roles, and each role can be set up with fine-grained permissions allowing users view and create only what the administrator permits.

On the other hand, CouchCMS provides the following key features:

  • Retrofits into any existing static site
  • No knowledge of PHP required
  • gives you an absolutely blank admin-panel to begin with

CouchCMS is an open source tool with 239 GitHub stars and 61 GitHub forks. Here's a link to CouchCMS's open source repository on GitHub.

Decisions about CouchCMS and Drupal

10 Years ago I have started to check more about the online sphere and I have decided to make a website. There were a few CMS available at that time like WordPress or Joomla that you can use to have your website. At that point, I have decided to use WordPress as it was the easiest and I am glad I have made a good decision. Now WordPress is the most used CMS. Later I have created also a site about WordPress: https://www.wpdoze.com
