You’ve probably heard this before: “Just pick any CMS, they’re all the same.”
That kind of advice drains small business owners of time, money, and momentum. Choosing the wrong platform — or paying an overpriced agency to set it up — can leave you stuck with a complicated, slow, and underperforming website that doesn’t bring in leads.
If you’ve been pitched Drupal website development as the “enterprise-grade solution,” you’re not alone. Agencies love to sell it because it sounds big, complex, and expensive. But is it really the right choice for your small business, clinic, or startup?
In this post, I’ll break down:
Let’s get started.
Drupal is still a solid, secure CMS — powering government portals, universities, and large enterprise organizations. Around 1.2% of all websites still use it in 2025.
But here’s the truth: Drupal website development is best suited for companies with dedicated IT teams managing complex data systems — not small businesses focused on generating leads, calls, or online bookings.
Just because Drupal is powerful doesn’t mean it’s practical.
For small business owners who want a simple, fast, and scalable website, WordPress often wins hands down.
Learn how a tailored Custom WordPress Development solution can outperform Drupal for cost, speed, and usability.
Here are the mistakes I see every month when new clients approach me after struggling with Drupal or other over-engineered platforms:
If this sounds familiar, it’s time to rethink your CMS — and choose a platform that works for you, not against you.
Here’s the blunt truth:
Agencies sell complexity. Freelancers deliver clarity.
As a Freelance WordPress Developer, I’ve helped clinics, consultants, and service providers migrate from Drupal website development nightmares to fast, lead-driven WordPress sites.
With WordPress, you get:
Faster setup (usually within 2–3 weeks)
Lower costs — my sites start at ₹8,000–₹12,000
Easy-to-use dashboards (no coding needed)
Thousands of plugins for SEO, payments, and booking systems
This is why 43% of all websites now run on WordPress — and why smart business owners are switching.

Whether you’re planning to migrate from Drupal or build a new website, follow this 7-step checklist:
Each of these steps can be implemented easily with WordPress — no developer dependency needed.
When you hear “Drupal website development,” agencies usually throw quotes like ₹50,000–₹1,00,000+. Why? Because Drupal sites require specialized maintenance and ongoing support.
In contrast, my WordPress website packages start from just ₹8,000–₹12,000 for a fully responsive, SEO-optimized, 5–7 page business site.

Result: Inquiries doubled within 6 weeks.
These results prove one thing — success comes from smart CMS choices, not “enterprise” buzzwords.

If not, it’s time for a change. And WordPress gives you the fastest, most affordable turnaround.
At the end of the day, your website isn’t just code — it’s a sales engine.

Is Drupal better than WordPress for small businesses?
Drupal is powerful but complex. For small businesses that need fast, affordable, and flexible solutions, WordPress is almost always the better option.
How much does Drupal website development cost?
Drupal projects can start at ₹50,000 and go well beyond ₹2 lakhs because they need specialized developers. WordPress websites, by contrast, start at ₹8,000–₹12,000 with me as a freelancer.
Can I migrate my Drupal site to WordPress?
Yes, migration is possible. I’ve helped clients move seamlessly from Drupal to WordPress while keeping SEO value intact.
Which platform is more SEO-friendly: Drupal or WordPress?
Both can be optimized, but WordPress offers easier, faster SEO management through plugins like Yoast SEO or Rank Math.
Do I need an agency for Drupal website development?
Not necessarily, but most freelancers specialize in WordPress for good reason. Agencies push Drupal because it means bigger retainers, while freelancers deliver simpler, results-driven WordPress builds.
