Frequently asked questions

Why is Drupal the best CMS choice for higher education websites?

Drupal handles complex, content-rich websites with multiple departments, audiences, and workflows. Its flexibility, security, and scalability make it ideal for universities, colleges, and research institutions that need both structured content and engaging experiences for students, faculty, and staff.

Can Drupal manage multiple departments, faculties, and sub-sites from a single platform?

Absolutely. Drupal’s intuitive editorial interface, guided workflows, and rich text editor let non-technical users create, edit, and publish content confidently with no coding required.

Does Drupal meet accessibility, security, and compliance requirements for higher education institutions?

Yes. Drupal is built with strong security and compliance features, and it supports accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1). Universities rely on it to meet strict regulatory and data-protection requirements.

Can Drupal support multilingual and international student websites?

Yes. Drupal has native multilingual capabilities, making it easy to serve content in multiple languages while maintaining SEO and user experience for international audiences.

Can Drupal integrate with LMS, SIS, CRM, and other campus systems?

Yes. Drupal’s API-first architecture allows seamless integration with learning management systems, student information systems, CRMs, and other campus tools to unify data and improve user experiences.

Can we migrate or modernize our existing higher education website to Drupal without losing content or SEO?

Yes. With careful planning, auditing, and migration strategy, Drupal ensures content integrity and SEO preservation during modernization or migration from older platforms.

How scalable and performance-ready is Drupal for peak traffic periods like admissions and enrollment?

Drupal scales efficiently and can handle peak traffic events through caching, load balancing, and performance optimization. This ensures stable, responsive websites even during high-demand periods.

Do we need a specialized Drupal service provider for higher education website development and ongoing support?

Yes. Higher education websites have unique workflows, integrations, and compliance requirements. A provider experienced with Drupal in education can ensure smooth development, secure operations, and ongoing support tailored to academic institutions. Specbee has worked with institutions like Georgia Tech and Empire State University, bringing proven expertise to complex, content-rich campuses.
