A Community of Programmers Supporting Your Site?

Many cite that the Drupal community is the greatest benefit of using Drupal. Community? What does that mean for you?

• Thousands of Drupal contributors help create new features and functionality each day.

• The Drupal security team is constantly evaluating threats submitted by the community and issuing patches to Drupal core and to the thousands of contributed modules, keeping your web site safe.

• Help and support is available online through drupal.org, IRC channels and other developers' websites, videos and podcasts.

Face-to-face conferences are held locally (like the Southern Colorado Drupal Users Group), regionally (like the annual Drupalcamp Colorado) and nationally (like the annual DrupalCon in North America).

In the past, you were married to your web developer. No one else knew their proprietary technology. With Drupal, you have the opportunity to switch developers and/or maintainers, using someone else who is experienced in developing sites with Drupal.
