Amnesty International relaunches on Drupal
Way too much yellow for my taste, but Amnesty International relaunched their website, using open-source content management system Drupal. Of particular note, the site employs language translation features, in this case, English, Spanish, French and Arabic. (hat tip Buytaert)
What is Drupal? "Drupal is a free software package that allows an individual or a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website."
There are a lot of content management systems (or CMS) out there, some commercial, some free. Drupal is a powerful freely-available open-source CMS, where the "C" could also stand for community, in that it enables many people to log in, post their own media such as blogs and photos, connect as friends and generally build an online community from the bottom up.
While the software is free, it still takes a fair amount of time and/or money to get a website to do just what you want it to. Hiring a programmer or team or "Drupal House," you might spend anywhere from $3,000 on up to $20,000+, depending on the complexity of the project.
While this personal website is running on Movable Type, which is a really great CMS that is ideal for blogging, you'll see me talk a lot about Drupal, as I have a number of projects in development right now.
