What to Expect from Drupal CMS? Blog Post Explains

Staff Reporter

The Drupal community is buzzing with excitement as a major development is set to unfold in January 2025. On January 5, Drupal 7 will officially reach its end of life, marking the conclusion of a 14-year journey. Just 10 days later, on January 15, Drupal will introduce the new Drupal CMS, a revolutionary update designed to empower non-technical users like marketers, content creators, and designers. Drupfan's latest blog post explains its features and speculates on what all to expect from the upcoming release.

The new offering stems from the "Starshot" initiative announced by Drupal founder Dries Buytaert in May 2024. The initiative’s goal is to make Drupal more accessible to non-developers, allowing them to create websites using intuitive, no-code tools. Key features of Drupal CMS include AI-powered efficiency, SEO enhancements, smart defaults, and pre-configured solutions known as "recipes" tailored to common website needs.

Unlike Drupal Core, which requires technical expertise, Drupal CMS promises a streamlined, user-friendly experience with a simple, browser-based installation process. Experts say the move could broaden Drupal’s appeal to small businesses and independent website managers.

As the countdown begins, all eyes are on January 15, 2025, as the Drupal community prepares for a transformative shift in website creation.
