All you need to do is pay a close attention to their real and clear-cut differences so that you may be able to distinguish them properly. Let’s discuss Joomla, Wordpress, and Drupal differences step-by-step:

Joomla

When it comes to Joomla, it provides you a platform to efficiently publish and display the optimized website content over the World Wide Web. More importantly, it has plenty of unique features and elements for example:

  • Caching
  • RSS feeds
  • Printable web pages
  • News flashes
  • Blogs Polls
  • Search
  • Language internationalization support

It is designer plus developer friendly because it presents a wider and extensive platform for developers to customize and bring in new features in the system and the potential to get better the look and feel of the custom website is absolutely broadly accepted by designers worldwide. Moreover, it is capable of handling a colossal group of people and has been in proper use since 2008 and 2009.

But the fact of the matter is that Joomla still needs a lot of improvement as well as improvisation when it comes to comparison with WordPress and Drupal. It is not XHTML based and absolutely lacks the option to create multisite.

WordPress

There is no denying that WordPress is the most efficient and useful content management system (CMS) worldwide. Therefore it would regularly support you when it comes to blogging and publishing your website content. Interestingly it is being regularly used by almost 202 millions websites these days. It has plenty of unique and versatile features for instance

  • Widgets that can be approved without editing the HTML
  • Search engine friendly
  • Multiple categories to a blog post
  • Allows tagging of blog postings and articles

Although it has many blogging options and profiles but it is not as much effective content management system (CMS) as the others are. Moreover it is not a Developer friendly content management system and it just brings more and more bugs with its new upgrades. But the best advantage of using WordPress CMS is that it is very trouble free to use.

Drupal

As far as Drupal CMS is concerned, it is a back end system used for managing a range of corporate websites worldwide. Besides, Drupal can be efficiently used for managing both small business websites as well as large business websites globally. It has plenty of features and elements for instance:

  • Registering and Maintaining user accounts
  • Creating and Handling menus
  • RSS feeds
  • Customization of a layout
  • Internet Forum
  • Single or multi User blog
  • Powerful template system

The amazing thing about Drupal content management system is that it is every developer’s heaven worldwide. But when it comes to Drupal’s drawbacks, it is not as much user friendly CMS as the other systems are. But this is the fact most renowned websites are nowadays making use of Drupal for effective and dynamic content management for example, MTV UK, BBC, the Onion, Greenpeace UK and so on.

The foundation is a non-profit organization with a mission to ensure access to a stable and free platform for Web publishing.
There’s not a ton of information on the site just yet, but it does spell out the philosophy of the organization and general information about the new organization.
Free software advocates will be pleased to see that the first item of the philosophy is that all software under the foundation should be released under the GNU General Public License. It also goes a bit further to specify that the framework should allow software to be easily translated. However, it seems that the foundation also wishes to be commercially friendly as well. The philosophy page also says that “should provide a framework for extensions so modifications and enhancements can be made without modifying core code,” which paves the way for proprietary add-ons and services.

The Foundation’s scope goes beyond just core WordPress. It also lists WordPress Plugins, themes, bbPress, and social media project BuddyPress as projects under the WordPress Foundation umbrella. According to the site, the WordCamp events also fall under the Foundation.
The idea of a foundation has been kicked around for quite a while, and tends to come up for most FLOSS projects that achieve a relative measure of success. The Free Software Foundation, Mozilla Foundation, and Open Source Applications Foundation are listed as inspirations for the WordPress Foundation.
The foundation will soon be taking donations to help support the WordPress Foundation and its mission, but the donations page isn’t operational just yet.
