Many site builders offer a limited feature set. They are developed by a small team usually 1-10 people and only do what that team decides they want to develop. They also usually do not include search engine friendly features, although some do.

Most site builders are based on proprietary, locked-in systems with features limited by their small development team's dependence on profit.

Looking at other site builders, there seems to be a focus on making it easier for only non-technical users to actually build and edit the site. Meanwhile, the more common scenario is where medium or high level technical users are the ones appointed to the task of building or maintaining the site. They become frustrated by the lack of advanced features as well as no open way to add new functionality.

How is Open Site Builder different?

Open Site Builder's web site administration panel targets users who are technical as well as non-technical.

You can optionally enable multiple user accounts to offload the task of adding new content or maintaining the web site.

Well you can say the feature set is unlimited. This is accomplished through an open plug-in architecture that makes it easy for web programmers to create a module that can be added on. There are hundreds of modules that cover common needs on any web site. There are even modules for doing some exotic things. Most of these modules are free to license and use for your site.

Drupal is a powerful web site system that is not under the gun of a small company. There are literally thousands of developers working to make continuous improvements. The team that creates, improves and maintains Drupal is not bound to one small company which would have a need to profit.

There are many features that your site will get with Drupal. One of the most important ones is search engine friendly architecture. This will help your web site's chances of being found in search engines infinitely greater.

We also offer many support options. Email, Instant Messaging, Phone to name the most common support options.

You have the option of meeting with one of our site architects to really dial in your site and make sure the site is effective towards its purpose.
