Drupal is the perfect no code tool

What is no code?

Basically it comes down to building a complex website using a Graphical User Interface instead of typing code using a programming language such as PHP.

Personal experience

I’ve been designing and building Drupal websites for over 10+ years now and I didn’t have to write any code once. I might have tweaked some files here and there but the number of times I had to dive into some PHP code can be counted on one hand. 

What I have built with Drupal are not just simple websites with a few pages. I’ve built:

• A video sharing sites for a University
• An intranet where employees can share news and files. Including an overview of upcoming birthdays and an extensive search option where employees can easily find each other's information, such as an e-mail or telephone number
• A community where users can sign up and privately share information. Even creating (private) groups within the community

Drupal is flexible

Out of the box Drupal is already very flexible. You can create content types, such as Articles, and add fields to them. These fields can be anything such as a simple text field or an image, video, file, mp3. You can also reference any entity within a field making it possible to set up relations between different content items (called nodes in Drupal). But you can even reference users or taxonomy terms.

Because Drupal is built with this flexibility in mind almost anything is an entity. Making it possible to connect different parts and ensuring all Drupal modules play nicely together.
