January 15, 2025, marks the official launch of Drupal CMS 1.0, a powerful platform that combines simplicity and performance to meet the needs of marketers and decision-makers. Built on the robust foundation of Drupal, this new tool offers both power and user-friendliness, making it easier than ever to create high-performing websites without requiring extensive technical skills.
At 8P Design, we constantly seek innovative ways to better serve our clients. As a web agency in Montreal specializing in Drupal, WordPress, and custom development, we understand the challenges businesses face in managing their websites.
That's why we’re thrilled to introduce Drupal CMS (formerly known as Drupal Starshot), an innovative tool designed to provide non-technical users with the simplicity they need.
1. A Simplified Platform Designed for Your Business
If you’re a business owner, content manager, or organization leader who wants the flexibility of a top-tier CMS like Drupal but without the steep learning curve, Drupal CMS is for you.
Drupal CMS is perfect for:
- Small businesses looking for affordable, easy-to-manage web solutions.
- Organizations relying on teams with limited technical expertise.
- Startups seeking to establish an online presence quickly and effectively.
With Drupal CMS, you no longer need to be a developer to create dynamic and visually appealing web pages:
- Pre-configured content templates: Quickly create event pages, blogs, or announcements without starting from scratch.
- Modern, intuitive interface: Enjoy a customizable dashboard, built-in dark mode, and an admin search engine to streamline your daily tasks.
- Ready-to-use SEO and interactivity tools: Enhance visibility with user-friendly URLs, responsive images, and built-in SEO optimization features.
At 8P Design, we know how much a clear interface can benefit marketing teams, and we’re here to help you make the most of these features.
2. More Than a CMS, a Powerful Tool
Unlike other simplified tools, Drupal CMS gives you access to the full power of Drupal Core. You get a complete, scalable solution tailored for business needs:
- Full flexibility to customize content, data structures, and workflows.
- Designed for complex projects: From multilingual sites to e-commerce platforms and collaborative portals, Drupal CMS grows with you.
