In the field of Content Management System (CMS), everyone knows about the top two gaints of the market are Joomla and Drupal. In all the levels of cms, these two are considered as the main opponents. Always there will be a war between these two gaints and they both performed excellently in all the aspects. The communities of both cms performed well for years and introduced many components and add-ons to satisfy the customers. Both gained some diplomatic victories to get new customers and to satisfy the existing customers
YAH00.WS conducted a study with some number of surveys to find the real king of web content management systems. We conducted this study interms of two major user categories – webmasters and visitors/customers. YAH00.WS given weightages to various factors to identify the reachability of these two systems.
Joomla is performing well in reaching its customers through its communities and well organised website organisation. Many other freelancers and webmasters also involved in helping the product to get more publicity. The number of websites who jumped in the development of the templates for joomla is really amazing. This count is expected to be tripled in next 6 months.
Drupal is having more experience in training its customers than joomla. The developers of drupal found various ways to reach their customers to make them learn easily. Simlilar to other cms, drupal have a great organised websites with many numbers of experienced developers.
From the studies in this part, YAH00.WS found that JOOMLA simply dominates this part compared to DRUPAL. Even though drupal have more experience in promoting the products, than that of joomla, drupal fails to overcome the infrastructure of joomla to reach the customers through good and and well commited communities. The past few months of market slightly inclined to joomla because of the great support providing capacity of joomla compared to drupal.
The most important part of providing support to the customers is the ability to get listed in top positions in google search results. Its clear that joomla official websites and the other websites and communities are with good page ranking. Drupal really have to improve a lot in this section to beat joomla, since learning and support is the initial part of finding the market.
Infrastructure development – All webmasters will consider the future development of their websites in all point of view. Getting more traffic is alone not the part of infrastructure. Its all about the ability to improve the capacity of the websites interms of speed andmore information providing capacity to the visitors. Good page ranking in search engines simply depends on the infrastructure.
In this case both joomla and drupal are head to head. Because of the experienced developers of drupal, they possess the great ability to introduce the most useful plugins and expensions. Joomla also dominates in this part, but there is a argument that drupal developers are more experienced than joomla developers. YAH00.WS founds that Drupal is one step ahead of Joomla in this infrastructure development.
Many webmasters feels that drupal helps them to upgrade the versions with ease and with great success. But still webmasters using joomla finds some problems in upgrading the versions. Drupal is very faster than joomla in releasing advanced versions to facilitate the infrastrucutre development of websites. Joomla done well in past 3 months in upgrades to compete with drupal.
So, interms of infrastructure development drupal is ahead of joomla. But joomla is faster in developing in this part.
Page ranking & traffic – To be a successful vendor in the market, the ability to help the webmasters to find good page ranks in search engines is considered a must. In this case, joomla introduced lot of add-ons and plugins to dominate and found some success in it. Drupal developers are really considered as masters in this. They are doing extremely well not only in the form of plugins and add-ons with extensions, but also some useful tips from experienced webmasters and professionals. Both drupal and joomla doing excellently in this case to find their market.
Speed & compatibility in browsers – Both drupal and joomla experiencing some problems interms of compatibility and speed because of internet explorer 6 (IE6) still in usage in many personal computers around the world. The template designers of both the systems are still finding some problems to improve the compatibility with some old version browsers. Drupal developers done well compared to joomla in this case. But we can come to a conclusion that drupal dominates in this part. Joomla is developing more and faster in this part than drupal.
Safety – Both developers done well to provide the safety of both webmasters and visitors. Many addons and updates are provided by both parties in recent years with respect to increase in vulnerabilities in cyberworld.
Seaching the contents – Webmasters argues that both drupal and joomla need to give more updates for the search engines. Joomla really backward in this search engine methodologies. Drupal done comparitively well in this compared to joomla.
Finally from the studies conducted by YAH00.WS, the results shows that Joomla is good for the beginners to open a website and Drupal is for experts and experienced webmasters. But we cannnot agree that joomla is only for beginners. Since both drupal and joomla are opensource cms, both suites well for experts. But it is true that joomla finds its market by attracting the newbies. This is considered as the great policy to find the market, being a senior in cms, drupal done will for experts. The war between joomla and drupal will continue because of the abilities of two parties.
This study shows that drupal must work more and to concentrate for attracting the newbies, joomla have to continue the current performance and must aim to get more experience like drupal developers. Both joomla and drupal are undoubtfully excellent contributors for opensource cms and good competitors for any cms.

Learning & Support– The most important feature to be considered in the studies about any system is the facilities provided to the customers in a easy way to learn about the usage of the system. This is considered as the starting point of the success in finding market.
