Drupal Gardens Features
Drupal allows an individual or a community of users to easily build websites to manage users, site structure and content. Tens of thousands of people and organizations are using Drupal to power scores of different websites - and now you can too, using these features and a little imagination.
The power of Drupal
is a click away
With Drupal Gardens, there's nothing to install and no servers to manage. We take care of everything on the backend so you can focus on building great sites.
Choose from a library of beautiful templates and themes
We're building a collection of site templates and themes to help you get started faster. Use our ThemeBuilder to customize a template or roll your own theme from scratch.
Build one site - duplicate to your heart's content
Sometimes, one site is not enough. Drupal Gardens lets you create your own site templates and designs, then clone your templates to roll out new sites in seconds - just add content.
Social publishing, made simple.
Simple content editing
Integrated WYSWYG editor makes content creation easy, while saavy users can show off their web geek skills.
Foolproof media handling
Upload images quickly to your own Media Library, then reuse those images across your Drupal Gardens sites.
Different layouts on every page
With lots of prebuilt page layouts available, you have flexibility to design every page to engage your audience.
