WordPress Vs Drupal Site Development Battle-Compare the Best
Most of the discussions going on today are on the choice of frameworks but now the discussions have shifted from "Which programming language should I use- WordPress or Drupal for my site development€?
The fact is that you can build any site you want with any framework as longs as you know how to program. Both of these development are open source cms and written in PHP. The use of WordPress is great for a simpler site/blog going - but the downside is that it's all written with a "C" style philosophy which is not 100% object oriented, very flat design, pain to maintain for larger projects with a lot of functionality.
WordPress is a procedural language as C - Drupal is object oriented as Java or C++. Object oriented framework have cleaner code and better separation of concerns with the code base and with a procedural framework you can easily customize the site without having to write a lot of programming code for your classes. WordPress is a simple, procedural and callback based but constrained to subclass framework objects.
If you want to have a large site, get on to an object oriented base so that you can extend it the way you want and have better overall structure in your code. WordPress is great friendly for the non programmers and Drupal is best for the programmers. You can build an object oriented site on top of WordPress just like you can with any other framework. They both are just a framework designed to make certain programming tasks easier in one way or the other.
Before to develop a website, I think that you should look at your requirements and see what features each framework provides and how each framework fits with what you are looking for. Drupal development is designed for large, functionally rich sites with full features and WordPress is designed for content based sites i.e. blog. Still you can extend both with any custom functionality if you know how to program.
For building a website for client, use Drupal as you can customize as per the client need and is very user friendly from the admin perspective (which is important if you are building a site for somebody). But if you are developing a site that has only most of the contents and where user friendliness on the admin side is not an issue, then any framework is fine then you can use WordPress. Now it's up to you to choose the one.
