about this site

The mission: to make using drupal simple.

Given how powerful Drupal is out of the box, its learning curve can seem steeper that it really is - especially with so many wonderful 3rd party modules available for it!

The aim of whydrupal? is to make it easier to understand how Drupal works and hopefully inspire your creativity and enjoyment when making innovative spaces on the web with it. 

Who we are

whydrupal? is a blog by Design Guru - a web production studio in Toronto, Canada.

A while back we started a similar blog called whyjoomla? and have since wanted to share a ton of neat things we're learning whilst developing projects in Drupal - so seeded this new site.

You'll note that our principal, Qasim Virjee , usually does most of the blogging; feel free to drop comments on posts and take part in all the brainstorming he's doing! :)
